Gun shot fly around 
In dis a warfare 

Gang Warfare 
Messing up this town and country 
Don't you know it does not pay 
To join this bad man posse 
Gang warfare 
Messing up this town and country 
Don't you know it does not pay 
To join this bad man posse 

In a Brooklyn 
All this shooting around 
It is surely 
Coming like a cowboy town 
Gangs and gunmen 
Got their finger on their trigger 
And you can bet your life 
They're here to take no prisoners 

Gang warfare 
Messing up this town and country 
Don't you know it does not pay 
Hey yeh yeh hey yeh eh hey 

Gang warfare, is right around the corner 
Gang warfare your sister and your brother 
Gang warfare you killing one another 
Gang warfare why don't you help each other 

Cold blooded killings 
Don't make no sense to me 
We should be civilised 
And save humanity 
Why don't you wake up 
>From your sleep and from your slumber 
We've got to stop this madness 
>From taking over 

Gang warfare 
Messing up this town and country 
Don't you know it does not pay 
Hey yeh yeh hey yeh eh hey 
 
Dem a run dem a come 
Fe shoot up the dance 
Dem a run dem a come 
Fe shoot up the dance 
Dem gwaan like cowboy quick pon de draw 
Dem want respect and to be big bout ya 
Dem a worship gun instead of Almighty JAH 
And a wear gold chain and drive fancy car 
Call demself posse, gwaan like mafia 
And a model demself off a nuff gangster 
Capone, Babyface and Dillinger 
But history book seh dem never get very far 
Now dem full a bullet hole and favour tea strainer 
So listen carefully and consider 
When you shooting up your bredren and 
A kill you sister 
You better take a trip to South Africa 
And hide inna de bush like 
A freedom foghter 
And help Black people get liberation 
And get respect and I will call 
You a DON 
Nuff respect and I will call you a man 
Dem a run 
Dem a come 
Nuff respect 
Get respect
