Lyrics

Now, everywhere I go are just pure guns, you know

But when di right time come

Nuff of dem have to run from di show (Hey)

Say, you fi put it down, gunman, put it down

Say, you fi put it down, gunman, put it down

I say fi put down di magnum, put down di magnum

Put it down, gunman, put it down

Cah me and sister Mag, we gone at market

I say a she was carrying the basket

I say we transport, then we haffi walk it

Say, gunman come take we make target

But a miss, dem a miss, cah dem won't practice

Miss, dem a miss, cah dem won't practice

Put it down gunman, put it down

Say, you fi put it down, gunman, put it down (Why)

Gun, it are no something fi you ramp with

I say di gun, it are no something fi you ramp with

Because a one kill mi gyal out of Linstead

Di boy weh use it right now him wanted

And every day him a gwaan like him haunted

But him skin soon burn him like acid

Because you no check fi man who wicked (Do it)

Put it down, gunman, put it down

Say, you fi put it down, gunman, put it down

Because one a penny, two a penny, hot cross bun

Sometime rain, and a sometime sun

Say, all who come and a muggle with gun

Jah know, dem going melt like butter against sun

So put it down, gunman, put it down (Why)

Me and sister Mag, we gone at market (Hey)

Transport, then we haffi walk it (Hey)

And she did a carry the basket (Hey)

Gunman take we make target

But a miss, dem a miss, because dem won't practice

Miss, dem a miss, because dem won't practice (So)

Put it down gunman, put it down

Gunman, put it down (Why)

Gun, it is a dangerous weapon

I say di gun, it is a dangerous weapon

And it possession, di owner carry wicked intention

So just, put down di magnum, put down di magnum

Put down di magnum and make we have fun (Hey)

Put down di magnum, put down di magnum

Put down di magnum and make we have fun

Cah me and sister Mag, we gone at market

Cah man, a she did have mi food basket

I say, we transport, then we haffi walk it

Gunman take we make target

Say, but a miss, dem a miss, because dem won't practice

Cah miss, dem a miss, because dem won't practice (So just)

Put down di magnum, put down di magnum

Put down di magnum and make we have fun

Gun, it are no something fi you ramp with

Jah man, di gun, it are no something fi you ramp with

Because a it kill mi gyal out of Linstead

Di boy weh use it right now him wanted

And every day him a run like him haunted

So just put down di magnum, put down di magnum

Put it down gunman, put it down

I say fi put it down gunman, put it down
