The lyrics of "Gun crime into your right ear" shows the lyrics are about a young man surrounded by crime. The lyrics of the song are very political and share the message of a young black males being scared of the police even if they are guilty. The chorus is the same as that from Dizzee Rascal's song 'Sirens', which 'Blue Lights' was sampled from and, therefore appeals to a similar young London audience that the lyrics of the song may appeal to. The imagery of "Tall black shadow as you're getting off the bus" set the brooding atmosphere of the song as well as displaying the London location of the imagistic narrative it tells being set in London. There is also a reference to Mobb Deep where it says, "Now it's really part two, cause you're the shook ones." This reference to the acclaimed 90s Hip-hop album 'Shook Ones Pt.2' will also appeal to the target audience of trendy, cultured youth.
