Lyrics of 'Gunman World' by Damian Marley

Two sides to a coin
And one must chose which side they join
You know?
Brotherman

Yeah
And meanwhile one man's meal
Is another man's poison
Mankind will do what they must to survive
Innit

Hear me now

In a gunman world
Any night him clock in at work
Marrow splatter, the toolbox pull
The magazine inna the two glock full

And he's watching as the days go by
And he's counting as his peers all die
Sleeping with the rifle 'cross his chest
So he never gets a good night's rest

And then he's cranky in the morning times
And more victims have to lose their lives
The community a twist and twirl
Wishing that they wasn't in a gunman world

In a gunman life
He might not come home from work one night
So every minute matter
Ignores advice

From his weeping baby mother and child
That he won't win every game he plays
So she know he'll meet his end one day
Some juvenile will have to earn his stripe
And have to take another gunman's life

What if a backstabber names his price
And how ironic if him dead from knife
The 'mount of bullet weh him put 'pon boy
Job description: Kill and destroy

Now tell me is it worth it all?
If one don rise then a next must fall
Tell me is it worth it all?
Those sleepless nights on patrol roll call

Tell me is it worth it all?
One child smile while a next one bawl
Tell me is it worth it?
Is it worth it?
Is it worth it all?

Well in a gunman world
Life is so stressful
Back to school time come
'Cuz when a gunman work
If he is successful

And the job is well done
Then there will be an unsolved crime
With no one to fill out all blank line
John public haffi hear and deaf

Informer get a kuff, kaff, kweff
Does he get nervous just like you and I?
Watching out if the police pass by
'Cuz any day you hear a gunman fail
Then it's either dead house or jail

What will it cost to make a gunman rich?
How many lives before a gunman switch?
The truth me want the youth them stop ignore
Say the majority of gunman poor, oya, oh

Now tell me is it worth it all?
If one don rise then a next one fall
Tell me is it worth it all?
Those sleepless nights on patrol roll call

Tell me is it worth it all?
One child smile while a next one bawl
Tell me is it worth it?
Is it worth it?
Is it worth it all?

And when a gunman makes choice
I wonder what goes through a gunman's mind
And does a gunman think twice?
Before him takes another someone's life?

I wonder what it is a gunman say
To the father when a gunman pray
Does he kiss his kids to bed at night?
Making sure the blanket tucked just right?

Nothing no scary like a gunman voice
When people beg a gunman think twice
And him say no

Wha coulda scary like a gunman voice
When people beg a gunman think twice
And him say no

Can you tell me is it worth it all?
If one don rise then a next must fall
Tell me is it worth it all?
Those sleepless nights on patrol roll call

Tell me is it worth it all?
One child smile while a next one bawl
Tell me is it worth it?
Is it worth it?
Is it worth it all?
