One man pull his iron
So the other man, retaliate
While the youths dem in the streets a playing

Someone's life gets destructed
Innocent victim is what the newsman will say
But I beg to differentiate you see

The gunman was once a youth
And the community let his life go to waste
But simmer down youth, life can be so great

Simmer down youthman, hold on

One bust a cap so the next man

So the next man pull he Glock
And the next man fire shot, gunshot
Lord, Mac-10, Gatt, nah

Now these clown a got, Grenade!

And all dem smoke

All dem toke, Gunsmoke
All dem smoke, all dem toke
Gunsmoke

Gangster is what dem want to be
Might as well wear white sheet


Blood she'd on our little islands
Armageddeon clouds of dismay
But gangster wouldn't last a day in Vietnam

Where were they when, Grenada got invade
Dem don't fight to improve the schools
For the youth dem

Naw, look what dem did
Bu'sting down man chest, gash inna de head
Lord, destroying what God create

But, look what smoke these man a toke
Gunsmoke, gunsmoke
Walking strap with their holster bout

Gunsmoke, gunsmoke
Gangster is what dem want to be
Might as well wear white sheet


One step forward
Three steps backward

Lord, war inna a Gabylon
One step forward,
But the man dem backward

Lord, war inna Gabylon
War inna Gabylon, Gabylon ways
Man adopt, Gabylon ways, bu'sting

In Gabylon ways

Blood stains on our little islands

Too many Mommies crying over graves
But the gangster
Wouldn't last a day in Vietnam

Where were they when
Grenada got invade
Dem don't try to improve the schools for the youth dem

Don't fight the bigotry of the Klu Klux Klan
Don't fight the economic genocide, lord
That is rampant in our land, but say


Look what smoke these man a toke
Gunsmoke, gunsmoke

Walking strap with their holster bout
Gunsmoke, gunsmoke
Gangster is what dem want to be

Might as well wear white sheet
Like the Klan
All they doing is shooting people down

Like the klan, like the klan
All they doin is, shooting our heroes down
Like the klan, like the klan, lord

Catch dem alone and dem man a run
Satan's capitan!
Satan's capitan!

Satan's capitan!
Man adopt, bu'sting shot in Babylon ways
Look what smoke these man a toke
Gunsmoke, gunsmoke
Walking strap with their holster bout

Gunsmoke, gunsmoke
Gangster is what dem want to be
Might as well wear white sheet
