(Siren vocals)

What's a boy to do if he'll never be a gangsta
Anger in his heart, but he'll never be a gangsta
If you move into his neighborhood, he'll never make a sound

What's a boy to do if he'll never be a rockstar
Singin' from his heart, but he'll never be a rockstar
If you move into his neighborhood, he'll never make a sound
If you move into his neighborhood

Bang bang bang oh
Ain't never move to my hood
Cause danger is crawling out the wood
(x4)

What's a girl to do if she'll never be a rockstar
Singin' from her heart, but she'll never be a rockstar
If you move into her neighborhood, she'll never make a sound
If you move into her neighborhood, she'll never make a

If you move into her neighborhood, she'll never make a sound

Bang bang bang oh
Ain't never move to my hood
Cause danger is crawling out the wood
(x4)

Hey
(You're going to put that on tape for the sake of posterity)
(You're ruining the tape)

Life in the city (the city)
Makes more sense when Jesus comes

Bang bang bang oh
Ain't never move to

Bang bang bang oh
Ain't never move to my hood
Cause danger is crawling out the wood
(x4)

Bang Bang Bang

    Song Meaning:This song is talking about how there are so many people that want to come off like something (gangster or rasta), but their backgrounds make it so they'll never be what they want to be. Merrill then suggests that her neighborhood is actually bad, or these could be the words of the wannabe-gangsters. I see all these white kids in suburban neighborhoods trying to act tough.

    General Comment:I always thought she was saying "rockstar" not "rasta." But you're probably right! For all I know there's a lyric book and you got it from that, so don't take my word for it, lol.
