Every day I keep hear the same thing
Looting and shooting and stealing and genocide
Gunshot, I no respect that
Gunshot, I no respect that
Lord have mercy!
Down in Jamaica there's lots of war and crime
Youth man just settle and the warrior mind
Soon one day you will end up on the line
Behind the bars to pay a fine, Lord
If you would know and change your plan, yeah
You got to know just who I am or else
Gunshot, we no respect that
Lord have mercy
Gunshot, we no respect that
Work so hard to feed my family
My mother she work in the bank
My father work so hard just to make some money
Working in the cane factory
My mother works into a stall
She tries so hard just to sure, yeah
She try to make a living for us although she's poor
Some robbers steal her things and leave me and her floor, so
Gunshot, we no respect that
Gunshot, we no respect that
You better think before you leave
Remember old time people say, "I, you them steal"
If you go to jail we have to weep
Through the cell iron bars you have to peep
And provocation it will cause bitter despair
The things you do is as if you really don't care
You leave my mama poor, their eyes is full of tear
You make we walking every day, our life is in fear
Gunshot, we no respect that
Lord have mercy
Gunshot, we no respect that, Lord
Every day it's pure of this
Looting and shooting and stealing and genocide
My brother, he get shot
Hear pon the shout of police to chat
Them say the robbery spirit sharp
He bought a whole TV and a brand new car
My sister wash my clothes in the moat one day
A robber man pass and take them all away, yeah
Oh goodness gracious, God, what must I say?
I'll never stop cease searching 'til I find them one of these day
Gunshot, we no respect that
Lord have mercy, yeah
Gunshot, we no respect that
