2024 anyone here 😊😊

LYRICS: What you go and do Go and give a boy a gun Now there ain't no place to run to Ain't no place to run When he holds it in his hand He feel Mighty He feel strong Now there ain't no place to run to Ain't no place to run One day he may come back Repay us for what we've done There where you Gonna run to Where you gonna run But one fine day All our problems will be solved 'Cause Bang Bang Bang We shoot him down Give him drugs and give him candy Anything Oh to make him think he's happy So he won't ever come for us He won't ever come But if he does And if there's no one else around Bang Bang Bang We shoot him down If he Preys only on his Neighbors Brothers, Sisters and Friends We'll consider it a favor We'll consider justice done But if he comes for you and me And we can place a gun in his hand Bang Bang Bang We Shoot him down What you go and do Go and give a boy a gun Now theree ain't no place to run to Ain't no place to run Now we'll all be at his mercy If he decides to hunt us down 'Cause there ain't no place to run to Ain't no place to run He wants the chances that you took from him Oh and nothing that you own Then they'll be no place to run to They'll be no place to run And if he finds himself to be A reflection of us all Bang Bang Bang He shoot us down Before you can raise your eyes to read The writing on the wall Bang Bang Bang He shoot you down Before you can Bridge the Gulf between And Embrace him in your arms Bang Bang Bang He shoot you down

This beautiful strong woman was a gift to the people of this planet ..

SHE SHOULD BE SEEN AS ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME

Tracy Chapman is all about humanity, honesty, humility & compassion. All her songs speak of that. Can't find no singer like her today.

Im a punk and metal guy but i gotta respect a true artist like her..mark my words..her music will be remembered in years to come.genius

The most inspiring, humble, respectful, patient and singer of all time. God bless her heard her songs from 1988

She's been telling us what's really been going on in the 🌎 through her music for decades, she's the GOAT.

To miss out on Tracy Chapman's music, is to miss out on an amazing life experience.

Tracy has always been acutely aware of the heartache of the world in which we live. Be it personal loss, Domestic Violence, gun laws gone mad or any manner of injustice, Tracy gets down to the nitty-gritty. This lady tells it as it is, yet somehow refrains from passing judgement. Tracy has a pure soul and quietly goes about her business of helping those less fortunate. When will people realise that the pen is indeed mightier than the sword or in this case, gun?

Selfless human. A very rare gem! Tracy Chapman is a legend. Never seen an artist so unique as her. A legend✌️

From 2023 to 2030 ill keep coming to this place and adding a like to all comments here, Legend Tracy 🙌

A underrated legend.

"He wants the chances that you took from him and nothing that you own." One of my favorite songs by her.

With Everything going on in this world right now Tracy is just the voice that the world needs to hear

No matter what song she sings..she has the ability to reach into my heart...I absolutley love her voice.. wish she would only sing more...

Written about a decade ago and still true today. I love this woman's voice and messages in her music.

"he wants the chances that you took from him, and nothing that you own" God damn... That is mercilessly beautiful

Tracy Chapman la plus grande chanteuse de tous les temps en plus de son immense talent elle est d une modestie et d une simplicité à susciter l admiration.

I can't believe I've never seen this video. Chapman is a star in music and lyrics. She is also a gorgeous woman with no makeup - or very little I can't see. I am so tired of seeing over made up women with freakish lashes and lips that are so exaggerated they scare me. And let's not mention the clown colored plastic talons. Really would love to see more of her. Fantastic !

'And if he finds himself to be a reflection of us all, bang bang bang, he'll shoot us down'. Amazing music, amazing lyrics, amazing artist.

This song reminds me of the saying "the child that is rejected by the village will burn it down to feel it's warmth." Wrong or Right the village is just as responsible for the actions of the child as he himself is. Can be applied to so many situations in life.

I can honestly say Tracy Chapman was the only artist I have heard that every song she wrote I loved, Tracy had that sort of feeling Brilliant

Why can't we get music like this anymore? It's truly aching the trash music we get these days.

You can sense the sadness of emotion and heaviness in her soul...she's a rare jewel.

Who is till listening to this loving song in August 2020.

Tracy Chapman was ahead of her time with this powerful message about guns and the effects of it!

She's so beautiful. Her eyes are so gentle and her voice just soothes the soul. You talk that talk, Tracy!

I'm a hard rocker , but Tracy Chapman you have had my attention since 1990. Thank you for you're awesome music !!!

This song was put out years ago and speaks of everything that is taking place right now. She's an amazing talent and all of her music speaks of real life. POWERFUL MUSIC AND THE MESSAGES IN HER MUSIC IS EYE OPENING.

This song and she's got her ticket are my all time favourite Tracey Chapman. I was introduced to Tracey's when I was around 4. I'm now 43 and still a fan.

Best singer that ever lived on this planet. The most real and best voice. BANG, BANG BANG.x

Has too be one of the most important songs ever written

Tracy is just the best singer in the world in my eyes. Grown up all my life listening to her amazing voice. I love her so much. Its hard to explain how much her music means to me and my family x

Ohhhh Miss Tracey❤. It takes Heart, Body and Soul for teaching such as this. You have been inspiring us with your Authentic Soulful life teaching. Your expression only show us the Love you have for "LIFE." Your Beauuuutiful Heart is in every strings of your music... We Love and Cherished your Teachings. We NEED to Take Heed, Take Heed.... God's Blessings you are ❤🎉❤

not another artist on the planet like this woman for me, no singer hit quit like her 💯❤️

Tracey is always the artist for the times we are in. I love her music with my wholeheart. She is anti establishment and anti ignorance. In the end its clear that despite being a premier talent she will never get what she truly deserves. I like to think that she has already received everything she wanted and for her its enough. She will be forever in my heart! My soul rejoices whenever I hear her.

When the world need her the most she disappeared Tracy were are you we need you more than ever now

2024 is there ??

Absolutely love Tracy Chapman ❤

This song is the punch in the heart it needs to be - her courage and insight in writing these lyrics and performing them is what makes her the incredible, wise and unafraid artist she is.

I love her voice and her music very much and I won't stop loving her !!!!❣️💝❣️

I wish we still had good music like this these days! Tracy if you ever see this, please know that you're loved! Your music touches my soul and inspires me differently.

This was 13 yrs. ago...this song. We hear it and learn nothing. Change nothing. I have a son. And I worried about him constantly. But, I had to keep reminding myself that when he was sick with a bad cold and I had prayed to my Saviour, Yeshua/jesus...."Lord, please let me know if my son is going to be okay so I can get some sleep." He was only 3 mos. And we were living in a shelter. I had ran away from husband.That night the Lord showed me my son walking....he showed me fruits on a table. He would get well. He would have a fruitful life. He got well and he has a fruitful life. He has been every parent's dream of a respectful and obedient child. He's grown, now. YAH says we may not understand HIS ways and sometimes I don't. Why does HE allow bad things to happen to good people. I mean, innocent children, babies. That I don't understand. Why doesn't he intercept? Why do evil people live so long? You see, this song triggered many questions again in me. Seeing how our unarmed men are being shot down so many times before and only just recently these policemen and civilians are just now being held accountable. And I had worries for my son and his life. My son is very nice, quiet and soft spoken, but he likes dressing in black. He wears a knit cap always. He carries a backpack constantly. He looks like a bandit. He could be mistakenly targetted. I know YAH, YESHUA/JESUS, THE HOLY GHOST, ANGELS AND DEMONS EXIST. I HAVE SEEN THEM...TALKED TO THEM. NOT THE DEMONS, ONLY TO REBUKE THEM. THOUGH AN ANGEL WALKED ME HOME ONE NIGHT AND AN ANGEL FOUGHT A DEMON THAT WAS TRYING TO MAKE ME HAVE A HEART ATTACK ONE NIGHT WHY WEREN'T THEY THERE WHEN A MAN RAPED ME? I ASKED THE ANGEL WHO FOUGHT THE DEMON WHY HE HADN'T KILLED HIM HE SAID, "IT IS NOT THEIR TIME." AND THEN JUST BLENDED INTO THE DARKNESS OF THE CORNER OF MY ROOM. IS THERE A REASON? BECAUSE HE'S GIVEN US FREE WILL HE DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE PHYSICAL...ONLY THE SPIRITUAL? I DON'T KNOW. SORRY....THE BANG BANG IN THE SONG AND THE CALLOUS WAY WE LOOK AT TAKING LIVES IS JUST SURREAL TO ME. I ASKED THE LORD WHY DOES HE LET EVIL PEOPLE LIVE SO LONG? HE SAID, "I DON'T WISH ANY TO PERISH." I ASK THE LORD TO HURRY AND COME HE SAID, "DON'T WISH FOR THE END. IT IS A TERRIBLE DAY."

One of the greats, no doubt about it. Thank god for musicians with brains as well as beautiful sound.

love this woman she's got so much depth and writes about such important and rarely spoken of things

Her confidence ,respect for her professions, singing from bottom of her heart, her message through songs and inspiring for life ,her voice and charismatic of her face is another level of magic

Je suis français je comprends à peu près les chanson, mais sa musique est et restera éternelle dans les vibrations de mon corps, malgré mes 63 ans et je l’ai écouté à 18 ans environ !!!!! Bravo à Tracy et a KZfaq

i love how simple her music video is. so, we can concentrate on her message.

I have loved her music since she started singing. She is beautiful inside and out and a wonderful story teller. Never disappoints me.

sometimes I get surprised when I listen to these songs and it still feels like it was released yesterday. I love her songs

Love this lady. Taught me about history, love and oppression through her songs. Master class.

Tracy Chapman's songs reaches the mind and soul and they make me relax remember those days and my late husband who we used to listen together as a couple until we go to sleep

I simply love the Simplicity of Tracy. You are a powerful singer..keep the spirit burning girl

So beautiful she reaches inside of us and touches something most artist will never do!

Great artist and always will be. As relevant today as first recorded; the world over.

Very rarely does a musical talent of this magnitude come along; a true musical genius wrapped in a beautiful female package.

Her music got me through alot of tough times.

Her insight and wisdom have always been true and deep, her voice is incredible. A true gift to this world.

Beautiful woman. Beautiful song.

I love Tracey She’s a Great Artist and Sings of the American Experience

I have been listening to Tracy's music ever since I was a little boy. I adore her voice and the message that she conveys through her music. She is a real singer whom I find no match to compare with her. What a spectacular person she is.

The most clean singer of the time.no wild gossip,no wild lifestyle,no racisms.

she just sing with her soul , love her voice

I love Tracy Chapman , her lyrics so touching her voice calm and warm ❤

She is a gay black woman and I'm a straight white man in love with Tracy C what hope do I have Lol. Seriously though one of the most beautiful moving voices I've ever heard I love the duet she does with the Great Late Pavarotti.

For the Soldiers Fighting for Survival->>>Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Come on guys, only 8 million views? No way...this song deserves better!!!

Love the song, love the artist, one of the best story tellers/songwriters of our day.

"Before you can bridge the gulf between And embrace him in your arms Bang bang bang" There's so much humanity and care in this song, and so much understanding. It also struck me how real, natural and humanly beautiful the faces in the video clip were. They also took the care not to promote violence at all, and yet convey what the lyrics are about. Well done!

Tracy Chapman is Beautiful A great singer I love your music Keep on singing beautiful lady Helping me heal loosing my husband Charlie Speer 😢
