Heatseeker
AMB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bullets fly just let me die
If I can't shoot and make your head go poof.
On the loose, no juice, get used to the sound
Of the buckshot pound, bodies bleedin' on the ground.
In attack mode, everyone around gets hit
When this heatseek shit locks on and spits
Got clips in every capitol in the whole nation
I'm hatin' you f**ks, make no mistake
My missiles create aftershocks like earthquakes
In amazement fill the pavement with red
If you cover your chest, I just aim for your head
I let nobody live or leave, I bring fever
Judges, cops, I'm even gunnin' at the teachers
Nobody lives, please, I'm too eager to be O-T-I-S
Oh yes, the HEATSEEKER!
Chorus x 2:
Bullets fly at everybody (Otis)
And ain't nobody got a bulletproof face (Shaggy 2 Dope)
Missiles fly at everybody (Otis)
I'ma blow up the whole planet and watch 'em all vanish in dust (Violent J)
Bonez Dubb:
I just blasted away at your hideout.
Who destroyed your home? It's time to find out
Take cover and maybe you can ride out
And I'ma drop the whole bomb to turn the lights out.
If you want it all, then watch the top fall
When the wall comes crumblin' down the long hall
Armageddon time's comin' better be runnin' from us
No trust in your fellow relatives and such
And much love and hate is takin' over your mind
Bonez Dubb and fate workin' over this time
Shots to the dome with the nickel-plated chrome
Leave a soul homeless and all alone
Nightscope, I'm doped up take out the long range
Shotguns to the face like Kurt Cobaine
Strange things about my ways, I turn the page
Of the book of the dead so I can splatter your brains
The Heatseeker!
Chorus x 4:
Bullets fly at everybody (Otis)
And ain't nobody got a bulletproof face (Shaggy 2 Dope)
Missiles fly at everybody (Otis)
I'ma blow up the whole planet and watch 'em all vanish in dust (Violent J)
The lyrics of "Heatseeker" by AMB tell a story of violent destruction, conveyed through powerful imagery and aggressive language. The first verse is delivered by Otis, who boasts about his ability to kill with ease, causing bodies to bleed on the ground and creating aftershocks like earthquakes with his missiles. He revels in the chaos he creates, taking aim at judges, cops, and even teachers. The chorus reinforces the theme of indiscriminate violence, as bullets and missiles fly at everybody and nobody has a bulletproof face. The second verse, delivered by Bonez Dubb, continues the destructive narrative, as he brags about blasting away at a hideout, dropping a bomb to turn the lights out, and leaving souls homeless and alone. He describes himself as a nightscoper doped up on drugs and compares his shotgun blasts to those that killed Kurt Cobain. The chorus repeats four times, driving home the message of destruction and annihilation.
Overall, "Heatseeker" can be interpreted as a warning against the dangers of violence and a call for peace. The aggressive language and imagery are meant to shock and provoke, highlighting the senseless brutality of extreme violence. By depicting a world where nobody is safe from the destructive power of bullets and missiles, the song encourages listeners to reject violence and seek nonviolent solutions to their problems. The repeated chorus serves as a reminder that violence only begets more violence, ultimately leading to the destruction of all that we hold dear.
