Lyrics

If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad If it's wrong to be violent Defending black women and black children and black babies and black men Then it is wrong for America to draft us And make us violent abroad in defense of her Tons o' guns everybody's getting strapped Tons o' guns got to watch the way you act Tons o' guns real easy to get Tons o' guns bringing nothing but death Tons o' guns are in the streets nowadays It's big money and you know crime pays Check your nearest overpopulated ghetto They greet you with a pistol not trying to say hello Mad kids packed 'cause the neighbourhood's like that Want some shit that's fat catch a victim do a stick Kids pulling triggers, niggas killing niggaz Five-o they sit and wait and tally death-toll figures It's crazy there ain't no time to really chill Jealous motherfuckers always want to act ill 22's, 25's, 44's, 45's Mack 11's, AK's, taking mad lives What the fuck you gonna do in a situation It's like you need to have steel just to feel relaxation Tons o' guns "The thing they know best is where the gun is kept" "The thing they know best is where the gun is kept" "The thing they know best is where the gun is kept" "The thing they know best is where the gun is kept" Tons o' guns you got we got they got The state of affairs yo it's like mad chaos I know a kid who just passed the other day They shot him 16 times so there he lay You can pray for this shit to like cease But until then a nigga's going to pack a piece And yo the devil's got assasination squads Want to kill niggaz 'cause they're scared of God They got camps where they train they learn to take aim At a nigga like a piece of game And I'm not seeing that, them days are gone 'Cause now we got (chromes) to put them where they belong So me a rude boy from and in a Brooklyn Fuck the bullshit, pain and suffering I'm coming off with a foolproof plan As if each every lyric was worth a hundred grand I stand in the face of hatred Letting off mad shots making devils run naked Tons o' guns "The thing they know best is where the gun is kept" "Is where the gun is kept" Tons o' guns everybody's getting strapped Tons o' guns got to watch the way you act Tons o' guns real easy to get Tons o' guns bringing nothing but death Tons o' guns but I don't glorify 'Cause more guns will come and much more will die Why, yo I don't know black Some motherfuckers just be living like that They like to feel the chrome in their hands The shit makes them feel like little big man 12 years old catching wreck 'Cause there ain't no supervision putting kids in check People get wounded, others they perish And what about the mother and the child she cherish The city is wild up steps the wild child Tension anger living in danger What the fuck you gonna do in a situation It's like you need to have steel just to feel relaxation Tons o' guns Tons o' guns Tons o' guns Tons o' guns Tons o' guns Tons o' guns
