Shotgun...scattershot
Leaded up metal

Short-range...max pain
Make ya backpeddle

The scattershot, that I got
-Has given me a medal

Fully loaded, shell exploded
Metal to the petal

Shotgun...scattershot
Leaded up metal



Loaded up...unloaded
With the pistol whip grip

You can hear the 'click' 'click'
Before the bullet-tips flip



Shelled in half...but, the half's 
Going on half-cocked

Leaded shells ring your bells
Till you're half shell-shocked



Because the scattershot, that I got
-Has given me a medal

Yeah, my shotgun...scattershot
Scatters heavy metal

Trigger finger...bullet slinger
Slingin' till you settle

Short-range...max pain
Metal to the petal


Fully loaded, shell exploded
Make ya backpeddle

My shotgun...my scattershot
My leaded up metal
