[Intro]
Bang, bang, bang, bang
[Hook]
Remember I was 7 years old with a pallet gun
Playing outside with a cap, drinking Caprisun
We thought we was having fun
Shoot, then you had to run
Now you know why gangsters and drugs fascinate the young
Cause, we were 7 years old with a pallet gun
BAKKA, BAKKA
7 years old with a pallet gun
BAKKA, BAKKA
[Verse 1]
1997 was the first time I got it, watching bad boys
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence
We was playing cops and robbers
By then we used to shoplift
And that became a problem, we aimed it before we shot it
We hold the gun with both hands, it seemed like we was programmed
Watching t.v programmes
See the gun go bang, its cocking and exploding
Its locking and its loading
I never got married to the game, but it was proposing
And I made the right decision, but my friend made a collision
He wanna shoot people now, we used to practice shooting pigeons
Violence is his religion, I hope that God will forgive him
The brasse, used to be brasse but now they trying to kill him
Scores need to be settled, its fatal and detrimental
The bullets used to be plastic, and now its hollow and metal
Aiming at the enemy, he used to be a friend of me
But now its like his dead to me, and I still have the memories
[Hook]
Remember I was 7 years old with a pallet gun

BAKKA, BAKKA
7 years old with a pallet gun

[Verse 2]
2016, 16 bullets in a 9mil
Brothers killing brothers, you can read that in the bible
Kill illuminati, so there won't be no arrivals
Ambulance on the scene there's no chance of a revival
Gun against my temple, I was feeling suicidal
Staring in a narrow barrel, looking down a spiral
Instincts is animalistic, I am feeling primal
It used to be a toy at home, now its homicidal
Shooting at a rival, its dangerous and hazardous
One up in the spine and it could lead to paralysis
Bullet just jammed you would think they making sandwiches
Now you need an ambulance
Morphine and bandages
I wish that we was playing outside living happily
We used to read comic books and now they loading magazines
I worry about my friends in the ghetto, and my family
Surrounded by this weaponry
I still have the memories
[Hook]
Remember I was 7 years old with a pallet gun
Playing outside with a cap, drinking Caprisun
We thought we was having fun
Shoot, then you had to run
Now you know why gangsters and drugs fascinate the young
Cause, we were 7 years old with a pallet gun
BAKKA, BAKKA
7 years old with a pallet gun
BAKKA, BAKKA
It go ba,ba,ba,ba, booyakka shaa
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
[Verse 3]
It`s already crazy I don`t know about the future now
2019, they will sieker pull bazooka`s out
I have big dreams and the snipers wanna shoot it down
So I`m very careful who I tell, I bulletproof my mouth
Imagine I could make a song that would make the violence stop
Pallet gun was plastic why we striking when the iron`s hot
Looking out for roses but the pistols you can find a lot
I used to buy the toy guns in Wynberg by the Chinese shop
[Hook]
Remember I was 7 years old with a pallet gun
Playing outside with a cap, drinking Caprisun
We thought we was having fun
Shoot, then you had to run
Now you know why gangsters and drugs fascinate the young
Cause, we were 7 years old with a pallet gun
BAKKA, BAKKA
7 years old with a pallet gun
BAKKA, BAKKA
[Outro]
That is how it works here
So, the children of today . . I`m not gonna say all of them, but I`m gonna say most of them, they don`t give a damn
I said, I`m not gonna say all of them (most of them), but I`m gonna say most of them, they don`t give a damn
