Lyrics
Gun Ya Down
(Intro)
I. What's up? What's up? Yo' instagram photo looks hot.
I'm game. I'm game. So, we'll meet, we'll meet in th' park.
You showed up. Loved me once. Now, what have I got?
A broken heart, from ya, baby. Rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat!
II. I'm down. I'm down. I wish I could get over it.
I try. I try. But, I can't, I just can't forget.
Miss you so. That ain't all. A child you ain't met.
Th' way that ya dumped me, baby. Rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat!
(Chorus)
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, I'm gonna drink th' day away.
He hurt me then he left me. That's all I gotta say.
My family is connected. Better get outta town.
You mess with Baby Sister, they'll gun ya down! Rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat!
III. Some days. Some days. I don't wanna crawl outta bed.
Th' pain. Th' pain. In my heart. It ain't in my head.
Don't come 'round anymore. I guess you are dead.
Th' spell that ya put on me, baby. Rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat!
(Chorus)
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy. I'm gonna drink th' day away.
He hurt me then he left me. That's all I gotta say.
My family is connected. Better get outta town.
You mess with Baby Sister, they'll gun ya down! Rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat!
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, I'm gonna drink th' day away.
He hurt me then he left me. That's all I gotta say.
My family is connected. Better get outta town.
You mess with Baby Sister, they'll gun ya down! Rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat!
(Tag)
You mess with Baby Sister, they'll gun ya down!
Gun ya down! Gun ya down!
Rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat!
