The Man With A Gun

3 mins • 2019

Have you ever thought about how ordinary moments collapse under the weight of stray bullets, fear, and broken systems? Vector and Brisb examine senseless violence through two striking character stories in “The Man With A Gun”.

One narrative follows a young man who finds hope within a church, only for fate to betray him, then shifts to another boy whose ordinary life spirals into danger he never imagined. This grim record will push you to confront uncomfortable realities with unfiltered honesty.

[Intro]
Well I say the tragedy never stops
Well I say the tragedy never stops
Huh

[Verse 1]
Well I say the tragedy never stops
Still ticks and tocks
Tick tick tick tick
From tock to tock
You better watch your watch
Or better still watch your back
You never know what time has in store for you
So take for instance you
On your knees praying
The church not being
The safest place for you to be in
A dark Saturday night
Bullet takes a flight
Jesus Christ
Police and hoodlums are in a fight
Back to the church scene
On his knees he was still begging
Baba God make a way out of the life that I′m living
He said
Then out of nowhere
Came that stray bullet
Blood splattered on the alter
His life had been ended
This man was tall
Had high hopes of playing football
Saw the writing on the wall
Then he knew that was all
He saw his handwriting on the wall I guess

[Chorus]
Shèybí Ölúwä Loro Yi yé!!
Shèybí Ölúwä Loro Yi yé!!
Shèybí Ölúwä Loro Yi yé!!
Shèybí Ölúwä Loro Yi yé!!

Sey the man wey gett'n gun gett'n upper hand,
Sey the man wey gett'n gun gett'n upper hand,
Sey the man wey gett'n gun gett'n upper hand,
Sey the man.
Sey the man wey gett'n gun gett'n upper hand,
Sey the man wey gett'n gun gett'n upper hand,
Sey the man wey gett'n gun.
Sey the man wey gett'n gun gett'n upper hand

[Verse 2]
Well I say the tragedy never stops
Lives are still losing
Kids are still thugging
And drugs they still using
He had a chance to be a person in life
Had a dad who still had his wife
Knew nothing about stress and strife
But every good story has a bad part
And every good Tony must have a Montana standing alert
Wait
What I mean is
The kind of life he was living
Wasn′t with bad guys
But a group of bad demons
There was this operation
That he was meant to be in
Police on a look out
The kid never saw this coming
He didn′t know the whole group had guns
He was too fat to run
Then the kid got done
Bullets chasing
Chaos breaking
Started running on pause
Felt his little heart was aching
Stopped, hand on his chest
Moist he was bleeding

[Outro]
Shèybí Ölúwä Loro Yi yé!!
Shèybí Ölúwä Loro Yi yé!!
Shèybí Ölúwä Loro Yi yé!!
Shèybí Ölúwä Loro Yi yé!!

Yeah!!!
