The man can't say dat Iah!
How the man mean I can't say dat?
Then the police n'soldier deh deh far
Then what! When a gunman backround di corner
And a police n'soldier no deh deh
We a go use fe defend I-self! Seen

According to what is going on in the world and society today
That motivate me to do this song, I say

(..Gregory Isaacs..)

Yeah, yeh-yeh

Gimmie mi gun, say mi waa' my gun
Gimmie mi gun, 'cause I no run
Gimmie mi gun, say mi waa' my gun
Gimmie mi gun, 'cause my life can't done

According to what is going today
Yu 'ave a lot of man, with a gun they say
That no gun should be around
And when yu think a stark
Some man go to the ground

Gimmie mi gun, say mi waa' my gun
Gimmie mi gun, 'cause I no run
Gimmie mi gun, make mi defend myself
Gimmie mi gun, I don't waan follow up the shelf yah
Gimmie mi gun, say mi waa' my gun
Gimmie mi gun, 'cause I no run

(..Gregroy Isaacs..)

As hungry and as poor we might be
We desire a good life
But as far to all tings goin' on
We need some some shelf defences I would say, mi say

Gimmie mi gun, say mi waa' my gun
Gimmie mi gun, 'cause I no run
Gimmie mi gun, say mi life gone down
Gimmie mi gun, 'cause I am life forever

But according to all things going on yah
It motivates me to do this musical song of today
So come along along along along way

Gimmie mi gun, say mi waa' my gun
Gimmie mi gun, and mi life is done
Gimmie mi gun, 'cause I no run
Gimmie mi gun, make mi defend myself

There is a lot of people out there
Who would defend thereselves as it come to a crisis
What happen to the man who go up around the corner
And go for his gun an'stick
Maybe yu would 'ave a chance to defend yourself
But until I say yu 'ave to run
And the man run you down and gun you down

Mi say fe gimmie mi gun..
