WHAT ABOUT US?
LYRICS
by Samson
Don’t tread on me.
Those are words that I stand by, Homie
It doesn’t mean I’m gangster, it doesn’t mean I’m country
It means that my life is in my hands, only
I don’t have money for security, I don’t have armed guards
That I keep stuck around me
You don’t think god is a protection
Like you doing that means you don’t give a [ __ ] about me
Gated community, that’s what you live in
Hatred and mutiny, that’s what we live in
So, come down here and hang with us for a minute
See if you leave with the same [ __ ] opinion
Qho’s gonna help me out if i get robbed?
What if somebody were to beat up my mother?
Who’s gonna be there to save our lives?
You? Nah, me!
I’m the only one that’s got my back
It’s dog-eat-dog these are not no cats
There’s cops in Michigan they can’t even respond to their calls
‘Cause their cars ain’t got no gas!
Great! Police don’t have any fuel
You don’t know if they’ll arrive when you call them
Their babies are starving, my girlfriend can’t find a tampon
And yet, somehow you and I are the problem?
Somehow, I’ve never brought a gun
Without having my background scanned and approved
The only loophole I’ve seen on a gun
Is the one that you put a laniard through
It’s not true that you can go to the store
And just swipe the card and get a Glock and run
It’s funny, the people that say that [ __ ] have
Literally never even shot one! Dumbass!
Hey, Matthew McConaughey, shut the [ __ ] up!
Just ’cause you’ve murdered people onscreen doesn’t mean
You know [ __ ] about guns you dumb [ __ ]
What, you worried about us?
What about all of those violent movies that you played?
How about you go talk to Alec Baldwin
Before you start telling me what to do, okay?
Uvalde. I was horrified by it
That’s your hometown, you were born right by it
It probably cuts deep and I hope that it does
Because you work in an industry that glorifies violence
There’s more your fault fall than it will ever be mine
The lord only knows how many crimes that you’ve influenced
Throughout your whole career
‘Cause I’ve seen you kill people plenty of times
What do you think is gonna cause a shooting?
A YouTube video of a gun review?
Or a Hollywood murder scene that seems so realistic
It looks like it’s from the news?
So next time, now you want to point your finger
With a stupid opinion and chime in with it?
Remember it ain’t mean that they’re trying to be like dog
It’s you that they’re trying to mimic!
I feel way more safe in a place where the people are legally-armed
If something happens. like a mass shooting
I have a way less chance of being lethally harmed
A criminal is going to think twice
If he knows everybody has a piece underneath
Their clothes and Mayor Lightfoot would probably tell you different
But have you seen Chicago?
And no, before you ask, I don’t want to be like Canada, either
And i don’t want to be like Australia
I’m sick of everybody using them as the humanity meter
There’s a reason that they can do whatever they want to their citizens
Like [ __ ] throw them in camps
And there’s a reason that our government doesn’t even try that [ __ ]
‘Cause they know that they can’t
If you don’t think for one split second
That if we didn’t have our Second Amendment,
The government wouldn’t overstep his boundaries
And make us do [ __ ] even when we’re against it
You’re out of your mind
I don’t give a damn where you stand
Or how or what you vote
That’s dandy and fine if you trust Uncle Sam
But I for one [ __ ] don’t and why would I?
What have they done?
Give me a reason for me to believe them
They want to trade me a little security
In exchange for a big ass piece of my freedom
They don’t want to take away guns because they care about you
And they want to keep you safe at night
They want to take away guns because
It’s easy to control people if they don’t have any way to fight
Hey buddy, well Ukraine started handing out rifles
To all of their citizens when the Russians invaded
So what about that? I thought it wouldn’t help
I guarantee that it’d be better than nothing
I hope it never does but if the day comes I bet
that you’re going you had something
This is the only country on Earth where the people have real strength
And nowadays with all the [ __ ] going on
That’s the only thing that makes me feel safe
If there’s anything that I’ve learned in the past couple years
Looking back at the pandemic all of this [ __ ]
That we have is fragile and it can snap it any second
[ __ ] all of the politicians I don’t trust anything they say
Take the word gun out of gun control
And that’s all that it is at the end of the day
I don’t give a [ __ ] how crazy you think that I look
Or I sound when I say this [ __ ]
But our Second Amendment’s the only thing
That stands between us and a dictatorship
And as for the kids I’m not a security expert
So I won’t act like one but I think that
If we can send over $50 billion to Ukraine
We could surely spend that much or more or less here
In our own country to fortify our schools
And make them more secure
So that every kid can get an education safe and sound
Place several trained armed guards in every school across America.
You know real men who won’t stand by for 45 minutes in the hallway
While a shooting unfolds in front of their own eyes
And pay them well, too
There’s veterans that need the work
Why not protect our kids the same way that we protect you
Politicians are protected by guns
Celebrities are protected by guns
Every important person that walks this Earth is protected by a gun
But our kids, they’re important
Just not as much as you
