I was importing some of my old CDs to my iPod, and I started listening to my old Sir Mix-A-Lot CD (Mack Daddy). The one with “Baby Got Backâ€, and I listened to another song on the CD called “No Holds Barred†that I haven’t listened to in years. I had forgotten that the whole song was anti gun control. It’s pretty unusual subject matter for a rap song. This CD came out in 1992. Here are some lyrics from the song. I only included passages that deal with guns or the gun control issue:
The song opens with some sound clips of voices:
“The police urge people to keep their guns locked up and unloaded.â€
“Congress today seems on the verge of approving gun control.â€
---
I don’t give a damn about a stupid-a** burglar, it’s all circular,
The dope dealer sells dope to the dope smoker, the smoker breaks in and tries to choke ya, but I ain’t the one to run from ya son, this is my house, and it’s full of guns.
---
When my house got robbed, a top-notch job, cops laughed while my mom just sobbed. 911 only works for the rich ones, so I collect guns.
Gun control? I ain’t with it, they ban the AK and any fool can still get it.
The innocent have been beaten, bruised and scarred, but for this citizen there ain’t no holds barred.
Sound clips of voices:
“It is an absolute infringement on my 2nd amendment rights.â€
“When is this attack on gun owners going to end?â€
“Education versus restriction.â€

Hypothetical situation…gun control starts sweeping the nation, now you got a bunch of unarmed innocent victims, getting f***** by the system, sitting at home with a butter knife, any fool can rape your wife. So what’s up when the criminals can’t be stopped? The only ones with guns are the cops. But it’s hard for a brother to trust police, so this s*** don’t cease, so I go downtown and buy a hot gun, I hated criminals, and now I’m one. Because I bought a gat to protect my house, the cops want to bust me out. So it’s illegal to protect yourself? Hell, you either get killed, or you’re in jail. So when you vote, you better think about what I just wrote, and f*** writing a note to your congressman, you got the fool hired, now help get the fool fired.
A scary scenario, and I put it in your stereo, so when a fool tries to run up on my car…RIP, no holds bared.
Sound clip:
“They take aim at the law abiding citizen instead of the criminal.â€
