[Intro: Raheem DeVaughn]
I don't know why
We load it, cock it, aim and shoot
We load it, cock it, aim and shoot

[Chorus: Raheem DeVaughn]
Living like we bulletproof
We bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
I say we load it, cock it, aim and shoot, oh
We load it, cock it, aim and shoot, oh

[Verse 1: Raheem DeVaughn]
Some will die over oil, kill over land
Charge you for taxes and blame Uncle Sam
Read you your rights, and charge you for nothing
Now who’s really gangsta and tell me who’s frontin’?
Murder your sons, ravage your daughters
Here overseas and across the waters
Tanks and missiles, bombs and grenades
Inject your land with guns and AIDS
You better pray to the Most High or whoever you praise
The politicians can’t help you, they just puppets and slaves
Tryna get paid and you are too
What you gon' do when the gun is pointed at you?
Like bank robbers, we're living
[Chorus: Raheem DeVaughn]
Living like we bulletproof
We bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
We load it, cock it, aim and shoot
We load it, cock it, aim and shoot, hey
I said we living like we bulletproof
We bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
I said we load it, cock it, aim and shoot, oh
We load it, cock it, aim and shoot, oh

[Verse 2: Raheem DeVaughn]
Get you a paper, turn on the news
Ride through the hood, I witnessed the blues
How can you ignore it? It’s easy to spot it
The trap house, a liquor store and your city’s got it
And my city’s got it, and they city’s got it
This world is chaotic and love is symbolic
So life don’t get cherished, so our babies perish
And your babies perish, now tell me who’s careless?
Now who should I pray to? What should I pray for?
You can’t pay the preacher for your redemption
I know where we’re headed, I already read it
The good book done said it (Like cowboys and Indians, we just)

[Chorus: Raheem DeVaughn & Ludacris]
Living like we bulletproof
We bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
We load it, cock it, aim and shoot
We load it, cock it, aim and shoot, hey
I said we living like we bulletproof
We bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
I said we load it, cock it, aim and shoot, oh
We load it, cock it, aim and shoot, oh (Luda)
[Verse 3: Ludacris]
They say tomorrow's not promised today but today I promise
If we don’t make our own way, somebody’ll take it from us
Snatch it like rats to cheese, so Lord help me please
'Cause I rather die on my feet than to live on my knees
Living like I’m bulletproof, cocking the Glock and aim and shoot
My future’s ever clear, a 180-proof
So I open the bottle then swallow my pride
And drink the pain away
I take shots and just lay up then fade away
Dreaming of better days, dreaming of better pay
But we got our work cut out for us so we better pray
Pray to uphold the week, not for eternal sleep
But if I die, I pray the Lord my soul to keep

[Chorus: Raheem DeVaughn]
Living like we bulletproof
We bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
We load it, cock it, aim and shoot
We load it, cock it, aim and shoot, hey
I said we living like we bulletproof
We bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
I said we load it, cock it, aim and shoot, oh
We load it, cock it, aim and shoot, oh

[Outro: Raheem DeVaughn]
Living like we bulletproof
I don't know why
I don't know why (I don't know why)
We living like we bulletproof, hey, hey
I don't know why, no, hey
I don't know why, ooh
I don't know why, oh
We living like we bulletproof, woo
Ooh, Heavenly Father
I don't know why, hey
