Heavy Artillery
Mr. Lif Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Usually I'm at the bottom of the sea, dormant
But every now and then I call upon the torment
So I emerge, feel the rays of the sun surge with power
Then prepare to tear and devour
And after that's understood I let my sounds blare like Underwood
After this, lightning and thunder could
Crash in the sky and project down to the terrain
The heat makes blood bubble in your veins
Waves of energy channel through your feet in the form of a beat
Rally back your troops, retreat
Abort mission cause you know can't compete
You're weak, fuck a backup plan, delete
Cause after the mega-charge
I grow mega-large
Increase in size so no one survives
You can't believe what you see before your eyes
Yes, the god Lif has returned to terrorize
Armed forces came out ready to brawl
But at a hundred stories tall niggas look small
This is the part where I stomp on Kong
Rip through the city, crush and romp
The [bus sailed]? at my frame but hit the flesh
My eye beam connects, burns shit up and wrecks
Lyrical Teks, slash necks
Blood splatters all over my specs
Body parts are found in tape decks
So visual you can't watch the scene
If you press stop the gears lock and pop your spleen
Then I start to finish em: metaphor, simile
Mr. Lif has broken out the heavy artillery

(I got artillery
Keep aware
I got artillery
Lyrics are ammo
You ready?
I'm always prepared for warfare
Get ready
Time to drop this real heavy)

Release the crack and then summon the gods
I defeated Zeus and Thor, now they want more
I call on the rains so now let it pour
To soften up the ground so I can bury the gore
Book me for a show son, send me on tour
Where niggas are fair game up in the airplane
I'll battle everybody aisles A through Z on the free
But none of them are fuckin with me
Watch how I maneuver this
Hype rhyme past the stewardess
Without her even noticing
Yes, I found an opening
You lost cause you weren't focusing
Now your dome's hot and smoldering
Open up the hatch so I can drop out the cargo
Cause I'm known to blaze stars just like the argo
These rhymes are going far beyond your belief
I'm like the Golden Child: each and every day I eat a leaf
Gimme the wreath, I'll have a feast
Gain knowledge of self then I plan to conquer the beats
And I'll build back your mental piece by piece
Giving brand new life to the mentally deceased
But after this the situation gets truly hazardous
Torturous, disastrous
Imagine this: experiencing hell right after bliss
In this experiment I'm the catalyst
Welcome to the realms where money is God
And they tamper with your brain 'til you're a spiritual fraud
As you focus on these words and enter the mind state
I slow down your pulse then increase the rhyme rate
Fall into deep psychosis, what's the prognosis?
Osmosis: underwater diffusion
Welcome to the realms of liquid illusion
Where stationary things appear to be movin
Look at your speedometer, how fast are you cruisin?
Thoughts race, images flash, you're gonna crash
But maintain your focus and move with agility
Cause Mr. Lif has broken out the heavy artillery

(I got artillery
Keep aware
I got artillery
Lyrics are ammo
You ready?
I'm always prepared for warfare
Bring a bulletproof vest and get ready)

Line by Line Meaning

Usually I'm at the bottom of the sea, dormant
I am not normally active, but am always present


But every now and then I call upon the torment
Occasionally, I will unleash my power upon the world


So I emerge, feel the rays of the sun surge with power
I draw strength from nature as I awaken


Then prepare to tear and devour
I am ready to attack and conquer


And after that's understood I let my sounds blare like Underwood
Once I have asserted my dominance, I make my presence known


After this, lightning and thunder could
My unleashed power could cause a storm


Crash in the sky and project down to the terrain
The effects of my power are felt throughout the world


The heat makes blood bubble in your veins
My power elicits a primal response in those who witness it


Waves of energy channel through your feet in the form of a beat
My music is a conduit for my power and energy


Rally back your troops, retreat
My power is too great for others to stand against


Abort mission cause you know can't compete
Others must retreat because they cannot match my power


You're weak, fuck a backup plan, delete
There is no hope for those who oppose me


Cause after the mega-charge
After unleashing my power


I grow mega-large
I become even more powerful


Increase in size so no one survives
My power is so great that it is lethal


You can't believe what you see before your eyes
My power is beyond what most can comprehend


Yes, the god Lif has returned to terrorize
I am a force to be feared and respected


Armed forces came out ready to brawl
Others try to face me, but are ill-equipped to do so


But at a hundred stories tall niggas look small
In comparison to me, others are insignificant


This is the part where I stomp on Kong
I am able to conquer even the mightiest foes


Rip through the city, crush and romp
I am a destructive force that cannot be stopped


The [bus sailed]? at my frame but hit the flesh
Others try to resist my power, but ultimately fail


My eye beam connects, burns shit up and wrecks
My power is focused and targeted, able to destroy anything in its path


Lyrical Teks, slash necks
My music is powerful and deadly


Blood splatters all over my specs
My power creates chaos and destruction


Body parts are found in tape decks
My power leaves a trail of destruction


So visual you can't watch the scene
The effects of my power are too intense for most to witness


If you press stop the gears lock and pop your spleen
Trying to stop me or my power will have serious consequences


Then I start to finish em: metaphor, simile
I am able to destroy and overpower others with just my words


Mr. Lif has broken out the heavy artillery
I am a powerful force to be reckoned with


Release the crack and then summon the gods
I have the power to control even powerful forces


I defeated Zeus and Thor, now they want more
I am able to conquer even the most powerful gods


I call on the rains so now let it pour
I am able to control natural forces with ease


To soften up the ground so I can bury the gore
I am able to create a destructive force that can level anything in its path


Book me for a show son, send me on tour
I am a formidable and popular force in any setting


Where niggas are fair game up in the airplane
I am able to conquer anyone, anywhere


I'll battle everybody aisles A through Z on the free
I am always ready and willing to fight anyone


But none of them are fuckin with me
No one is able to withstand my power


Watch how I maneuver this
I am able to navigate any situation with ease


Hype rhyme past the stewardess
My power is able to overcome even the most mundane obstacles


Without her even noticing
I am able to accomplish my goals with stealth and ease


Yes, I found an opening
I am able to seize an opportunity when it presents itself


You lost cause you weren't focusing
Others fail to resist me because they lack willpower and concentration


Now your dome's hot and smoldering
My power is able to overwhelm and defeat others


Open up the hatch so I can drop out the cargo
I am able to deliver powerful and destructive forces wherever I go


Cause I'm known to blaze stars just like the argo
I am able to create powerful and destructive forces like those of a great ship


These rhymes are going far beyond your belief
My music and power are beyond what most people can comprehend


I'm like the Golden Child: each and every day I eat a leaf
I am able to draw strength and energy from nature


Gimme the wreath, I'll have a feast
I am able to consume and overpower anything in my path


Gain knowledge of self then I plan to conquer the beats
I am always seeking to improve and strengthen myself and my powers


And I'll build back your mental piece by piece
I am able to help others overcome mental barriers and obstacles


Giving brand new life to the mentally deceased
My power is able to rejuvenate and revive those who are struggling mentally


But after this the situation gets truly hazardous
Once I unleash my power, anything can happen


Torturous, disastrous
My power is able to cause pain and destruction on a massive scale


Imagine this: experiencing hell right after bliss
My power is able to cause great upheaval and change


In this experiment I'm the catalyst
My power is the driving force that creates change


Welcome to the realms where money is God
I am able to confront and overcome even the most powerful forces


And they tamper with your brain 'til you're a spiritual fraud
Others may try to deceive or manipulate me, but I am able to resist their forces


As you focus on these words and enter the mind state
My power is able to create a deep and powerful psychological response in others


I slow down your pulse then increase the rhyme rate
My music is able to control and direct the energy and emotions of others


Fall into deep psychosis, what's the prognosis?
My power is able to create intense and overwhelming psychological experiences for others


Osmosis: underwater diffusion
My power is able to reach and influence even the deepest parts of others' consciousness


Welcome to the realms of liquid illusion
My power is able to create intense and surreal experiences for others


Where stationary things appear to be movin
My power is able to create powerful illusions and distortions of reality


Look at your speedometer, how fast are you cruisin?
My power is able to create intense and disorienting experiences for others


Thoughts race, images flash, you're gonna crash
My power is able to create intense and overwhelming psychological experiences for others


But maintain your focus and move with agility
Others must remain alert and focused in order to resist my power


Cause Mr. Lif has broken out the heavy artillery
I am a powerful and formidable force to be reckoned with
