Arkansas [English translation]

When I was six, my Christmas gift was a toy gun, an industrial replica.

There were garlands all over the house

I thanked Santa Claus because he was good to me.

When I was seven, I had to get another

Unfortunately, I got it, whose fault was that?

I became an expert in shooting by instinct,

Hearing the explosions was the only thing I liked.

For me, the future was at the end of my gun,

My dad had guns; we would shoot in front of the house

Empty bottles, like in John Ford movies

And as necessary, I even had the wardrobe:

Camo, rain boots,

Automatic weapons, revolvers, Uzis, hunting rifles, semi automatics, Glocks,

One fine morning, I shot the rooster.

I fought with a girl in the schoolyard.

Now that I think about it, it was really nothing

To avenge myself I planned an operation

Opened the garage, selected the ammunition.

At 9 am, we took our places in front of the school, me and my friend John, we waited, we drank alcohol

Lying in the bushes, I wait for the bell, one knee on the ground, this is serious shit

Driven by adrenaline,

I load the M-16

Rat-tat-tat-tat

I got my first victim.

John has the sniper rifle, it's like a game,

Hang on, it's a fire sale, you smoke whoever you want.

We are in Arkansas,

My dad keeps saying it's awesome, carrying guns, he likes action movies.

2 dead, 11 wounded,
