Guns Out A Hand by Welton Irie Lyrics
[Intro]
Lord a said thou shalt not kill
But don't you no way, man a do it still
Just like all dem cop jack and jail
Right upon di hill, I will say
[Hook]
Lord-a, well make di guns just a gwan so
Woo-ya, well make di guns just a gwan so
[Chorus]
Out a hand, di guns a get out a hand
Out a hand, di guns a get out a hand
[Verse 1]
Dem use it to kill off man and woman
And then them turn to start on the young one
Outta hand, di guns a get outta hand
Outta hand, di guns a get outta hand
A million years ago there was a revolution
When every kid and man had a club in his hand
But nowadays what I really can't understand
Everyone have sofisticated weapon
Is it dem use, in the Falklands
Is it dem a use over in Lebanon
But soon me goin' to have a confrontation
Between America and the Soviet Union (Why)
[Chorus]
Out a hand, di guns a get out a hand
Out a hand, di guns a get out a hand
[Verse 2]
Cah, just di other day there was a asssassination
Just di other day there was a asssassination
Dem shoot down di pope of babylon
Nobody watch dat, dem shoot down Sadat
Dem even kill di singer named John Lennon
And, in Jamaica, it was Echo and John
Gunman nowadays don't respect no one
Dem put three shots in a Ronald Reagan
Seh, when me come a dance, me no boost gunman
Dem fi turn it pon me same one (Hey)
Seh, dem fi turn it pon me same one (But)
You never hear bout di new style yet
You never hear bout di new style yet
Dem fire blank shot of the queen Elizabeth
Di boy weh do dat, a life sentence him get
Beca', di gun it ain't no something fi you ramp with
Beca', di gun it ain't no something fi you ramp with
Because a it kill me gyal over Linstead
Di boy weh use it right now is wanted
And every day him a hide like him haunted
Jah, me seh, out a hand, di guns get out a hand
Seh, tell me where you get your gun from
And then you tell me where you get your ammunition
A million years ago there was a revolution
Every kid and man had a stone in his hand
But nowadays what I really can't understand
Seh, everyone a use sofisticated weapon
Is it dem use, in the Falklands
Is it dem a use over in Lebanon
But soon me goin' to have a confrontation
Between America and the Soviet Union (Hey)
[Chorus]
Outta hand, di guns a get outta hand
Outta hand, di guns a get outta hand
[Outro]
Just di other day there was a asssassination
Dem shoot down di pope of babylon
Lord a said thou shalt not kill
But don't you no way, man a do it still
Just like all dem cop jack and jail
Right upon di hill, I will say

Lord-a, well make di guns just a gwan so
Woo-ya, well make di guns just a gwan so

Out a hand, di guns a get out a hand
Out a hand, di guns a get out a hand

Outta hand, di guns a get outta hand
