They're saying "Gun Hawk". I think it takes its meaning from a Hawk being a bird of prey. Saying I'm a Gun Hawk is like saying I'll swoop down on you with a gun. Basically Gun Hawk is just a fancy way of saying Gunman. At least this was always my understanding of the term.

Ites,

I have seen -GUN ARK- as a song title.

On a Jammy$ Dancehall compilation.

Haven't heard to see how it was pronounced though.
