Trigger Bang

Album: No Shame (2017)
Play Video
  • Grab a few grams and a few grand
    Wrapped in elastic in the blue bands
    Reach for handouts with your two hands
    Who's that? We're the cool gang
    No hippy but it's so sticky
    I'm a old school nigga, fam, I know Zippy
    Steamboat Willie like the old Mickey
    Steamboat willy, she gets the whole dicky
    '06 ratchet, had the old flicky
    '017, now I got the whole strip in
    Lowkey bredda on the low, sippin'
    You can be the cool gang, but nigga, no slippin'

    And it fuels my addictions
    Hangin' out in this whirlwind
    If you cool my ambitions
    I'm gonna cut you out

    That's why I can't hang with the cool gang
    Everyone's a trigger bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    Goodbye bad bones, I've got bigger plans
    Don't wanna put myself in your hands

    When I was young I was blameless
    Playin' with rude boys and trainers
    I had a foot in the rave 'cause I was attracted to danger
    I never got home for Neighbors, hey
    When I grew up, nothing changed much
    Anything went, I was famous
    I would wake up next to strangers
    Everyone knows what cocaine does
    Numbing the pain when the shame comes, hey

    And it fuels my addictions
    Hangin' out in this whirlwind
    If you cool my ambitions
    I'm gonna cut you out

    That's why I can't hang with the cool gang
    Everyone's a trigger bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    Goodbye bad bones, I've got bigger plans
    Don't wanna put myself in your hands
    That's why I can't hang with the cool gang
    Everyone's a trigger bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    Goodbye bad bones, I've got bigger plans
    Don't wanna put myself in your hands

    Back in the day like at YoYo
    Then in L.A. at the Chateau
    Someone would say, "did you bang? No?"
    I shake my head, I say "no, no"
    Maybe we did, I don't think so, hey
    I need to move on and grow some
    Been in the Firehouse for too long
    LDN's burnin', so tan one
    I'm gonna love you and leave some
    I'm gonna go out while I'm still strong, hey

    And it fuels my addictions
    Hangin' out in this whirlwind
    If you cool my ambitions
    I'm gonna cut you out

    That's why I can't hang with the cool gang
    Everyone's a trigger bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    Goodbye bad bones, I've got bigger plans
    Don't wanna put myself in your hands
    That's why I can't hang out with the cool gang
    Everyone's a trigger bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    Goodbye bad bones, I've got bigger plans
    Don't wanna put myself in your hands Writer/s: Benjamin James Henry Jack Garrett, Jason Neville Thompson, Lily Rose Beatrice Allen
