They call him Automatic Jack, but his real name is Cyril
Walks like a killer but he runs like a squirrel
Gives it like a Thompson and you can't stop him yakkin’
Only got his balls for the pistol he be packin’
But…
Any dope can pull a gun.
just so long as they got one.
Take a brother down for a place in the sun?
Any dope can pull a gun.
Wayne ‘Trigger’ King was a legendary farce
Had to leave the smoke ‘cos his dad was a grass
Came into the room for some Rizla and baccy
Beretta down in the back of his trackie’s
But…
Any dope can pull a gun.
just so long as he got one.
Take a brother down for a place in the sun?
Any dope can pull a gun.
To have or to hold? But you should be asking what?!
When you pick up a piece, you deserve to get shot.
Rapper, cop, soldier, gangster or thief?
No one gives a damn whether you got a beef.
Cos…
Any dope can pull a gun.
just so long as he got one.
Take a brother down for a place in the sun?
Any dope can pull a gun.
