Living Colour - Who Shot Ya Lyrics






Gun violence takes the life of an African-American man every five hours. It's the leading cause of death for black men under the age of 35

Who shot ya? Separate the weak from the obsolete
Hard to creep them Brooklyn streets
It's on nigga, fuck all that bickering beef
I can hear sweat trickling down your cheek
Your heartbeat sound like Sasquatch feet
Thundering, breaking the concrete
Finish it, stop when I foil the plot
Neighbors call the cops, when they heard mad shots

Who shot ya?
Who shot ya?
Who shot ya?
Who shot ya?

Saw me in the drop, three and a quarter
Slaughter, electrical tape around your daughter
Old school/new school need to learn though
I burn, baby, burn like "Disco Inferno"
I burn slow like blunts and yayo
Peel more skins than Idaho Potato
Niggas know: the lyrical molesting's taking place
Fucking with me. it ain't safe
I make your skin chafe, rashes on them asses
Bumps and bruises, blunts and Land Cruisers
Big Poppa smash fools, bash fools
Niggas mad because I know cash Rules
Everything around me, two Glock 9s
Any motherfucker whispering about mine
And I'm Brooklyn's finest
Come on, tell me

Who shot ya?
Who shot ya?
Who shot ya?
Who shot ya?

I seen the lights excite all the freaks
Stack mad chips, spread love with my peeps
Niggas wanna creep, gotta watch my back
Think the Cognac and indo sack make me slack?
I switches all that, cocksucker G's up
One false move, get Swiss cheesed up
Clip to TEC, respect I demand it
Slip and break the 11th Commandment

Who shot ya?
Who shot ya?
Who shot ya?
Who shot ya?

  1. R.... W....

    Guns not the problem, people are. So change ourselves, not the world with gun laws.

    R.... W....

    Legislation is literally how we govern ourselves.

    R.... W....

    @Uejji I didn't say that. I meant banning guns.

  2. M.... S....

    My favorite track from that album. Loved these guys since '92!

  3. D.... S....

    I love this group since 1988 their first album. And they still Great and sound better then rap and rock artists today.

  4. A.... V....

    This is exactly the kind of music we expect black artists to go for!!! Not these rap nonsense

  5. B.... ....

    Thank You For Making This AMAZING version of who shot ya?
    im in love man ❤❤

  6. T.... L....

    👍👍

  7. C.... P....

    The Klan ain't wearing just White anymore .

  8. M.... F....

    Corey has the most powerful voice and delivery. Iconic badass.

  9. s.... A....

    Indeed Kings indeed

  10. N.... M....

  14. P.... S....

    Corey's pipes get better with age...this band shatters my mind with each listen...

  15. S.... I....

    Unfortunately you can add our brother Raphael Sassi to the list of great artists denied to us all by a senseless act of gun violence. This song has new meaning for us now. :(

  16. M.... A....

    Why don't they play nice jazz,blues...like other older musicians?This sounds like hororr...😨

  17. L.... T....

    Awesome Song! 🤘❤🎶🎵🎶🎵

  20. N.... d....

    Great song!!!!

  21. W.... A....

    A handgun saved my life twice. If bad people have guns to kill us, I will have guns to kill them. Words or pieces of paper won't keep bad people from harming you. The beauty of this country is we dont have to be victims. We can choose to be responsible for our own lives and safety, because the Supreme Court already ruled that the police are not responsible for protecting us.

  22. z.... w....

    underrated

  23. T.... F....

    Cupid draw back your bow

    One reminder. Gun deaths include suicides, which is half of the gun deaths stated. Suicide is a ginormous problem that people ignore, while talking about gun deaths/violence.
