What the heck is a "gat?" In "Scene for Dummies," a line in the chorus is: "Scene kids, ghetto stars come on grab your gats." WTF?

she`s right, it`s another word for gun...
Old slang, meaning gun. Came from shortening Gattling gun to just gat. Was used during the prohibition era to name any gun, but specifically the thompson submachine gun, aka The Tommy Gun.
**********************************************************************
Slang for gun. Contrary to (apparently) popular belief, it is not a term created by modern rap stars, but has been in use since the prohibition era.
"scene kids ghetto stars come on grab your gats"
"that night at 82 the parking lot was stacked. grabbed my gat and got my hand stamped by matt."
THANK YOU HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD.<3
