Big Gun
Ice-T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's goin' down. Yo the girl got a gun,
Best run. Because she's quick to flip and empty out the clip,
And make a man understand where she's comin' from.
The hardcore's connected to the base of her fate.

She just breaks and bring drama to the situation,
Ejaculation of my projectile, she's buck wild.
Better recognize when she comes she comes correct.
Collects respect and if not, you catch a broken neck.

Buddy look down and your shirts all bloody,
Looks like she caught you with a bad one for messin with da mad one.
Told you bout this girl before, you didn't listen to me.
As I talk, now you're stalked by the hunter of the fronter,

Who's size five and sexy.
Quick, they catch your body and another one next week.
Huh it doesn't matter 'cause the girl stays strapped
She says she had enough of men and now she's lookin for payback.

And there's no way you can fade her son.
She walks softly but she carries a big gun.

[Chorus]
She walks softly but she carries a big gun.
She walks softly but she carries a big gun.
She walks softly but she carries a big gun.
And there's no way that you can fade her son.
She walks softly but she carries a big gun.
She walks softly but she carries a big gun.
She walks softly but she carries a big gun.
She walks softly but she carries a big gun.

The most venomous feminist, homie, she ain't soft.
You give her trouble then she might cut your head off.
Or something that you like to think's the best:
She'll blow big holes in your chest.

She says she gotta 'cause she says a lotta ladies won't
She says she gotta 'cause she says a lotta ladies don't
She says she gotta 'cause she says a lotta ladies can't
She says she gotta 'cause she knows a lotta ladies

Romance the thoughts of giving men their own medicine.
Electrocute 'em light 'em up like Con Edison,
She got no fear five rings in their ear,
Holes in their nose, way-out clothes.

Living life to the fullest buck shot and bullets.
Triggers she'll pull it, Earth she want to rule it.
Maybe she will 'cause she's quick to kill.
The city lights make her dresses tight, yes she bites.

You never know where she'll come from.
She walks softly but she carries a big gun

[Chorus]

You got no time to trip or argue, you're through.
I'll bet she gets ya. Homeboy you'll catch a stretcher like so many before.
She's on a bodycount tour. But not rock, she's puttin sucker punks in cops.
You say she's nothin but a woman then you come up shot.

You say "Why you want to kill me?" and she says "why not?"
Pop she got a body that'll make you cry.
Pop she got a shotty that'll make you die.
Don't bring drama to her homie, 'cause you'll wind up flat.

She'll put your ass horizontal then she'll peel your cap.
She got no lovin', love is something that she never had.
She loved her mother but she hate her motherfucking dad.
So stay the hell out her way, 'cause the girl don't play,
None!

[Repeat: x 3]
She walks softly but she carries a big gun.
She walks softly but she carries a big gun.

[Repeat: x 3]
So don't even try to play her, son.
She walks softly but she carries a big gun.





So don't even try to front, son.
She walks softly but she carries a big gun.

Overall Meaning

Ice-T's song "Big Gun" describes a dangerous and unpredictable woman who is armed and not afraid to use her weapon. The lyrics imply that the woman is seeking revenge on men who have wronged her in the past. The song starts by warning listeners to stay away from the woman because she is quick to use her gun and will make men understand where she is coming from. The chorus repeats the line "she walks softly but she carries a big gun," emphasizing the woman's deceptive appearance and dangerous potential.


The lyrics suggest that the woman has a lot of power and control in her relationships with men. She brings drama to situations and is quick to assert her dominance. The line "she collects respect and if not, you catch a broken neck" implies that the only way to deal with her is to give her the respect she demands. The woman is presented as a feminist figure who is taking revenge on men who have mistreated her or other women. She says she is doing this because other women can't or won't.


Throughout the song, Ice-T paints a picture of a woman who is both alluring and deadly. She is described as sexy and stylish, but also cold and violent. The song builds to a climax in which the woman is on a "body count tour," killing anyone who gets in her way. The final message of the song is clear: don't mess with this woman, or you'll end up as another victim of her big gun.
