16 Shots
Click to see the original lyrics (English (Jamaican))
No girl can tell me about my mother
16 shots, we last longer than a ladder
None of them want to talk about their crime boss
Put the bodies in a pot, they will burn like grabba*
Nobody can disrespect me or my mother
It isn't safe around here, everyone needs armour
16 shots, we are going to kill any brother
Rah-ta, rah-ta
Ka-kah, ka-kah, ka-kah
Rah-ka-ka-ka-ka-rahh!
You couldn't be tougher than a Kingston?
Disrespect my mother, and your skin will start to bleed
So, don't bother, don't mess with my mommy
With my mommy, with my mommy
Baby, think you're tough, say you're tougher than she
If a dog barks, it's been a long time since he's eaten
Rap (music) on, pop (music) off, makes you move like a freak
They say that they are gangsters, but so is mommy
They are going to put their hands on a girl
They are going to put their hands on her
Eyes watching when I come through the door
What I am going to do, no one is prepared for
No girl can tell me about my mother
16 shots, we last longer than a ladder
None of them want to talk about their crime boss
Put the bodies in a pot, they will burn like grabba
Nobody can disrespect me or my mother
It isn't safe around here, everyone needs armour
16 shots, we are going to kill any brother
Rah-ta, rah-ta
Ka-kah, ka-kah, ka-kah
Rah-ka-ka-ka-ka-rahh!
You couldn't be madder than Kobe Bryant?
Disrespect my mother and your lips won't move
So, don't bother, don't mess with my mommy
With my mommy, with my mommy
You really think that you are tough, say you're tougher than me
If trouble starts tonight, you won't sleep
Pop on, cut off, makes you look like a creep
They say they want a bad girl, but there are none
They are going to put their hands on a girl
They are going to put their hands on her
Eyes watching when I come through the door
What I am going to do, no one is prepared for
No girl can tell me about my mother
16 shots, we last longer than a ladder
None of them want to talk about their crime boss
Put the bodies in a pot, they will burn like grabba
Nobody can disrespect me or my mother
It isn't safe around here, everyone needs armour
16 shots, we are going to kill any brother
Rah-ta, rah-ta
Ka-kah, ka-kah, ka-kah
Rah-ka-ka-ka-ka-rahh!
Take one shot, if you think they are men
Take two shots, if you feel they are a gangster
Take three shots, if you think they are idiots
Take four shots if you are a couple
Take five shots, if anyone thinks they are tough
Straight "thump thump" head lump, you will drop (to the floor)
If you hit up the Da-Da-Da-Don
Bullets are going to hit you wherever you are
No girl can tell me about my mother
16 shots, we last longer than a ladder
None of them want to talk about their crime boss
Put the bodies in a pot, they will burn like grabba
Nobody can disrespect me or my mother
It isn't safe around here, everyone needs armour
16 shots, we are going to kill any brother
Rah-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta
Ta-ta, ta-tah-ta
Ta-ta-ta-ta-tah
No girl can tell me about my mother
16 shots, we last longer than a ladder
None of them want to talk about their crime boss
Put the bodies in a pot, they will burn like grabba
Nobody can disrespect me or my mother
It isn't safe around here, everyone needs armour
16 shots, we are going to kill any brother
Rah-ta, rah-ta
Ka-kah, ka-kah, ka-kah
Rah-ka-ka-ka-ka-rahh!
