Rihanna G4L lyrics

Verse

I lick the gun when I’m done, ‘cause I know that revenge is sweet

This is the gang; ladies thing

Any mother f*cka wanna disrespect…Got this girls like a soldier

Chorus

You know I’m down, I’m down for life, load it and reload it, let’s go Gangsta for life Till the day that I die I promise im standing by‘Cause you know that im down Gangsta for life

Verse

Nigga, we don’t play, no Girls come on, we aint done got a lot to handle, we aint took over the world yetWe’re an army, better yet a navyBetter yet crazy guns in the airGuns in the airGuns in the airWe got our guns in the mother f*cking air

I lick the gun when I’m doneCause I know that revenge is sweet

The opening of the lyrics immediately tells the audience what the song is going to be about

The power of a woman and her female associates, who are referred to as ladies, this lets the audience know that this is from a females perspective , on getting revenge.

This is showing Rihanna as a brave, powerful woman, trying to put across that it is not just men that are strong and ‘soldiers’.

Giving us an image of the gun

Reveals how she wants to be portrayed

Shows that she is not playing; a serious situation

The opening is Repeated at the ending of the song; to add emphasis and to create an effect of the meaning of the song.
