Come out with your hands on your head
Turn the rap music off and step away from the stereo
Put the rap album down,
Leave MC Hammer alone - turn it off
What?
Guns don't kill people, rappers do
Ask any politician and he'll tell you it's true
It's a fact, music makes you violent
Like Michael Jackson telling little Timmy to be silent
You don't believe me, here's my hype
Offer me the record and I'll show you the type
Of criminal this rap shit is breeding
It's a fact that MC Hammer left me bleeding
Vanilla Ice made my mother say, "__"
If i stuck with 'UB40' then i woulda been in love
But I didn't, I got involved
Cypress fucking Hill taught me to make a fucking bong
So I started, I bought another tape
The mob boys snapped me, my cock and balls ache
So remember kids to the head double tap
Guns don't kill people, it's just rap
[Chorus]
Guns don't kill people, rappers do
Sound of the police
Woop Woop Woop
Guns don't kill people, rappers do
Sound of the police
Woop Woop Woop
Guns don't kill people, rappers do
I seen it in a documentary on BBC 2
Shot to death outside Hyper Value
Guns blazing like Michael Caine in Zulu
Gunners statistics are sometimes misleading
The type of criminal rap is breeding
Shot in the chest no one here stopped the bleeding
2-4 to base over, are you receiving?
Remember rap tracks in '87
Scott the lots up in hip-hop heaven
Biggie and Tupac R.I.P.
Even Jam Master Jay's in the cemetery
[Chorus]
Guns don't kill people, rappers do
Sound of the police
Woop Woop Woop
Guns don't kill people, rappers do
Sound of the police
Woop Woop Woop
Guns don't kill people, rappers do
I'm a fucking rapper and I might kill you
As a rapper I'm teachin' you a lesson
AK-47 to Smith and Weston
Just say no, just like Zammo
Bulletproof vest, to Guns and Ammo
Hip-Hop gangsta tripping
Even Eminem's into pistol whipping
Solid Crew told we're the ones
P. Diddy, J. Lo in a nightclub with a gun
Heard Snoop Dogg now wants to bust a cap
Guns don't kill people, it's just rap
One, two - yo, face my shoe
My name's Mike Balls and I'm coming through
Guns crimes, stabbin' and burgalarization
Is on the rise all across the nation
The safety's off and the pistol's aimed
The Yardies and the Mafia always get blamed
Politician's ashamed, and they haven't got a clue
Rap is more deadly than fucking kung-fu
[Chorus]
Guns don't kill people, rappers do
Sound of the police
Woop Woop Woop
Guns don't kill people, rappers do
Sound of the police
Woop Woop Woop
Guns don't kill people, wrappers do
From Bristol Zoo to B&Q
I wanna rap, I wanna rhyme
Heard it in a song, now I'm into gun crime
It's a sign of the times like Prince changing his name
You gotta have a shooter to be in the rap game
Like Michael Ryan about to snap
Guns don't kill people, it's just rap
[Chorus]
Guns don't kill people, rappers do
Sound of the police
Woop Woop Woop
Guns don't kill people, rappers do
Sound of the police
Woop Woop Woop
