Heavy Artillery
Game feat. Rick Ross Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"You know we got em
Forty fives, machine guns, heavy artillery
We got those grenades on your ass, nigga
Boss, Black Wall Street
I'm in that bulletproof Maybach nigga (Teflon Don)"

Nigga talking like a G but walking like a broad
I pull up at the light, pineapple in your car
Nigga I shatter lives, my music camouflage
I court killers at the center of my synagogue
Torch in hand, extortion to the fortune five hundred
From the porches to the Porsche's with the wides on it
'Fore you snitches bitch, you better put your lives on it
Get you twisted by the ? with them wires on it
I get my money smoking spliffs like it's Friday
I'm sitting sideways like I'm in my driveway
My champagne kicks, my shit three wheels
You niggas six feet, we gettin' three meals

[Chorus]
They got jumped
Forty fives, machine guns, and heavy artillery
They got jumped
Forty fives, machine guns, and heavy artillery

Yeah I got two gun charges, two felonies, just got off probation
Today motherfucker, won't budge for no charge
Real nigga, I hold no grudge with no thugs
Come through spraying, bullets out the McLaren
They ain't meant for you, so move bitch, you hard of hearing?
I speed off doing 90 with the Carter blaring
Bust shots in the Cavalier like I ball with Baron
Yeah I Blake Griff niggas, make stiff niggas
Eminem wasn't Dr. Dre's only sick nigga

Insane in the membrane like Soul Assassins
Twelve gauge stop a nigga heart like a bowl of Aspirin
I hold automatics, let your man hold the casket
Murder game cold as Aspen, body found in the trash bin
First forty-eight, they don't find me, case closed
Like a rehabilitation spot in Bobby Brown nose
Take em back to Boyz in da Hood when I pull the pump out
Something like C-Murder on Worldstar when I dump out

[Chorus]

Ain't nothing changed but them bullets in my clip
I still pull it, still bully niggas on the strip
Beef, I cook it fully with the fifth
And I ain't got no pets, I put a bullet in ya bitch
A nigga with a gun in his hand who won't bust it?
Like a bitch with a dick in her hand who won't suck it
This is the art of war, you niggas just drawing
Anything I target on is dearly departed, gone
Drive by or walk up on, I just stop, breathe, aim cock squeeze
Silencer on the Glock, infrared beam
So your block up on machines while the pussies run and scream

[Chorus: x3]

Overall Meaning

The song Heavy Artillery by Game feat. Rick Ross is a hardcore rap track that boasts about the artists' extravagant and lethal possessions. The chorus of the song mentions the variety of weapons the artists have- from forty-fives, machine guns to heavy artillery and grenades. The lyrics depict the rappers defending their territory from intruders explicitly. The line "I'm in that bulletproof Maybach nigga (Teflon Don)" suggests that the artists are not only protected physically but emotionally as well, which is why they are comparing themselves to the notorious gangster John Gotti, also known as Teflon Don.


The lyrics then shift to Game's verse, where he brags about his techniques of shattering lives and the camouflage of his music. He portrays himself as a Mafia boss in reference to the term synagogue, which refers to a Jewish house of worship. He also describes himself using the analogy of torches and fortune 500 companies. In the next line, he warns snitches to put their lives on the line before snitching on him. He shows off the extravagance of his lifestyle with references to his Porsche, spliffs, and champagne. Finally, he asserts his dominance by declaring that he is getting three meals while others are in the grave.
