Ini Kamoze - Gunshot Respect Not (2005 re-recording)

[Intro]
Yo...
Watch this
Hey...
Run for cover
I don't know what a bullet won't do
Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Shot respect not, boom
Gunshot it no respect notch
Shot respect not, skeng
Gunshot it no respect notch

[Verse 1]
Now cats and dogs and "men and people"
For some it's good and some it is evil
Dem Kings and Queens and El Presidente
Dem passer-by and spy
They all could wind up in the cemetery

[Chorus]
Shot respect not, boom
Gunshot it no respect notch
Shot respect not, skeng
Gunshot it no respect notch

[Verse 2]
Even a minister and the sinister, hey
Marine of Brigadista
Some win, some lose, hey
Some skip across the border
When men were bold, this thing yah wasn't plenty
Now that heaven and earth are old, hey
One fool make many

[Chorus]
Shot respect not, boom
Gunshot it no respect notch
Shot respect not
Gunshot it no respect notch

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Hey
I don't know what a bullet won't do
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 3]
Even your cat and your dog and "men and people"
For some it's good and some it is evil
When men were bold, this thing yah wasn't plenty
Now that heaven and earth are old, hey
One fool make many

[Chorus]
Shot respect not, boom
Gunshot it no respect notch
Shot respect not
Gunshot it no respect notch

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Hey
I don't know what a bullet won't do
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 4]
Follow you 'round the corner
Follow you across the border
Throw you down in the dirt
When it hits it hurts, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Tear drops like rain...

[Chorus]
Gunshot respect not, skeng
Gunshot it no respect notch
Shot respect not, boom
Gunshot it no respect notch

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Hey
I don't know what a bullet won't do
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Shot respect not, boom
Gunshot it no respect notch
Shot respect not, skeng
Gunshot it no respect notch

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey
Don't know what a bullet won't do
Hey
Man, I don't know what a bullet won't do
Hey, hey, hey, hey
