[Intro: Lateef the Truthspeaker]

Yeah, It's a gunfight, It's a gunfight

Where?

Outside


[Verse 1: Lateef the Truthspeaker]

I step out the saloon, about a quarter to noon

Might as well have been a quarter to DOOM

Strapped with my six-shooter, next to my six pack

My sawed-off, slung over my right shoulder, hung on my back

Heavy artillery weigh down my belt strap

Ain’t gon' be no killing me without the clack clack and crack

Of the hammer slamming down into action

On the chest of any courageous brave soul

Who wanna come test The West?

Select the weapon you want

But don’t mess with the best

Any problems we can lay ‘em to rest

Make sure they sleepin’ in the closed casket

With skills, that’s obviously the most, murderous

I paint the bullseye, just show me the target

There’s a vest that can stop that's ain’t been invented yet

If I got ya in my sights, it’s a fair bet

The back of your shirt is probably wet

And it ain’t just sweat


[Chorus: Lateef the Truthspeaker]

It’s a gunfight

Ya life on the line what's your rep?

It’s a gunfight

High noon, fight to the death

It’s a gunfight

Don’t bring no knives, no fists

It’s a gunfight, it’s a gunfight

Ya life on the line, what's your rep?

It’s a gunfight

High noon, fight to the death

It’s a gunfight

Don’t bring no knives, no fists

It’s a gunfight


[Verse 2: MF DOOM]

Squash it, proper airen aim on the strong bear

Matching pair o' nickel six poppers and throwin' on our gear

See 'pure Iroquois mi amor ya massi breed deed

To feed black bellies seeds in need

.44’s before the black talons, black stallions

Bag o' wagon’s rations, bullying for the cash in

What’s the haps, bust the caps

It’s a rap attack, factor that it could be a trap clatin' hats was cracked

Catch him at the river bed, nakedly wretched

Blood’ll flow downstream as they shiver, dead or check it

I’ll be up ahead away

Hold your fire, stay out the light

The stagecoach was wide open, something ain’t right

Shot in the back, felt two hot-lit entities

Empty 12 shells, horse fell

Sent Hell, six enemies

Surrounded by militia, they ‘bout to unmask me

Lastly, blew her a kiss and made plan B gasted blasphemy


[Chorus: Lateef the Truthspeaker]

It’s a gunfight

Ya life on the line what's your rep?

It’s a gunfight

High noon, fight to the death

It’s a gunfight

Don’t bring no knives, no fists

It’s a gunfight, it’s a gunfight

Ya life on the line, what's your rep?

It’s a gunfight

High noon, fight to the death

It’s a gunfight

Don’t bring no knives, no fists

It’s a gunfight


[Verse 3: Gift Of Gab]

Stepped out the s'loon about a quarter to five

I was jittery but the whiskey put the jitters behind me

I've been sipping since 12:50 (Not tipsy and blindly)

I come into the city square (Just to get blindly)

You see, Ol' Black Jack done got out of city jail and word is

He's pissed off and looking for my tail

Now we go back, me and Black Jack some time extended

He just did 3 years in jail for a crime I committed

Now when I tell we don't call lawmens

We take the dispute into our own hands

Cock pistols, take paces, and shoot

I hear footsteps behind me

It's Ms. Otture

I hear rufflin' in the bushes

It's just a old mule

I'm paranoid, it's gettin' dark and folks is goin' inside

Somebody grabbed me by the shoulder, I blew off his eye

It is just old Todd Rittlis

Now the jitters return

My soul started shivering

A Pallbearer carries his urn (Past me)

Ms. Cassidy came whispered in my ear

Said, "No need to look no further Mr. Black Jack's in here"

So here it is, I guess you might call this the moment of truth

I bust inside, my pistol cocked, Black Jack is sittin' at the booth

He turns around, we make contact, I can't see him, he see's me back

Once we draw, cut back and aim at each other, squeeze, clack clack

Oh, oh, you got me

You got me

[Chorus: Lateef the Truthspeaker & MF DOOM]

It’s a gunfight

Ya life on the line what's your rep?

It’s a gunfight

High noon, fight to the death (Do what I tell you)

It’s a gunfight

Don’t bring no knives, no fists

It’s a gunfight (You'll never take me alive)

It’s a gunfight

Ya life on the line, what's your rep?

It’s a gunfight

High noon, fight to the death

It’s a gunfight

Don’t bring no knives, no fists

It’s a gunfight
