Jaz Elise - Gunman (Lyrics)




Oh god please forgive him for all of his sins
Please protect him
Yo, me only wah di best fi you
Wah yuh do things right
But yuh deh pon di streets dem with yuh crew
A whol’ yuh ‘matic tight
Me fi leave but me love yuh bad
And dis life it hard
Fi deh wid a gunman
Nuh wah you ketch nuh charge

Me nuh wah fi bury you early
Me doe wah fi see you in the street
Me nuh wah fi lose di love of mi life to a bullet from a gun of a enemy
Me nuh wah fi bury you early
Nuh wah yuh fi live a life a crime
So baby if yuh love me
Me beg yuh fi leave it all behind

Yuh never sleeping
Worry which friend turn to enemy, scheming
Wonder if dem and di police dem teaming
Remember when yuh tell mi that yuh love mi
Yuh did wipe away mi tears ah seh yuh wah fi start a family
So leave it
No tell mi seh dem yute a yuh friend
My dreams been turned to nightmares of your end
I’m pleading, staying up til the sunrise praying for you to come home safe

Me nuh wah fi bury you early
Me doe wah fi see you in the street
Me nuh wah fi lose di love of mi life to a bullet from a gun of a enemy
Me nuh wah fi bury you early
Nuh wah yuh fi live a life a crime
So baby if yuh love me
Me beg yuh fi leave it all behind

Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it

If you get lock up yo who ago keep me warm
You know seh me nuh smoke a you alone a keep me calm
Me nuh wah fi try a hug you wid no bars between mi arm
The court system slow, dem ago loss you in remand
Mi family tell me seh mi guilty by association
The way me love you me nah call yuh name in interrogation

But oh if you love me just affi stop walk wid Satan
And dash weh di Dutty ‘matic weh you get from all di Haitian

Me nuh wah fi bury you early
Me doe wah fi see you in the street
Me nuh wah fi lose di love of mi life to a bullet from a gun of a enemy
Me nuh wah fi bury you early
Nuh wah yuh fi live a life a crime
So baby if yuh love me
Me beg yuh fi leave it all behind

Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it

It’s a cold world
Cold world
And I doe wanna lose yah
I doe wanna lose
It’s a cold world
Cold world ahhh

Please forgive him
Please protect him
Please protect him
Please forgive him
