Bullets
The Game Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a bullet with your name on it
You 'bout to have a hoodie with a motherfucking stain on it
Dashboard with your brain on it
Motherfucking bitch, you worried bitch nigga tell yo mama put a frame on it

Know it's murder, if The Game on it
Irv Gotti with the flame on it
I'm in the coupe, know the roof and it smell like Mary Jane, don't it?
Balmain crew neck, [?] with the chain on it
Goddamn, I'm the motherfucking man
Tote drums like a motherfucking band
So fly, I don't know where to land
So fly, motherfucking Peter Pan
You put the city on your back like a motherfucking tat
Damn nigga, you can stand where I stand
You can eat where I eat
I got a house on the beach but I run these streets
100 grand every week
10 mil in the safe, so you know where I sleep
Put a pillow by the combo
Band arms like I'm Mutombo
Ears to the street like Dumbo
High school on El Segundo
So you ain't gotta ask where I'm from though
Hit the corner on Cedar, polo beater
Run up on a nigga like pronto
Run up on a nigga like Wingstop
Lemon pepper wings when the motherfucking beam hot
Got the molly, got the white and the lean locked
Selling dreams on my grandmama grandpop

I got a bullet with your name on it
You 'bout to have a hoodie with a motherfucking stain on it
Dashboard with your brain on it
I got a bullet with your name on it
Know it's murder, if The Game on it
Goddamn, I'm the motherfucking man
Got a bullet with your name on it
Know it's murder, if The Game on it
I got a bullet with your name on it

You know what the fuck be pissing me off?
That other motherfuckers think they run my block
Nigga, this my block, nigga I don't give a fuck who on this motherfucker
Grannies, kids, nigga old people, dogs, cats
I don't give a fuck when i'm walking through the block, nigga everybody moving
You don't understand, nigga, this is my motherfucking block
Anything can die, nigga
we killing motherfucking flowers, we killin' air, we'll put bullet holes in clouds
niggas gon' move when we coming down the block
Get the fuck off that stoop

I'm a fucking alcoholic
I'm on Rosecrans & Central
In the Tam's drive thru
And I got murder on my mental
Lord please forgive me
Please forgive me
I say Lord please forgive me
Please forgive me

You with the shit? Then you gotta show me you with the shit, nigga
Jump off that fuckin' stoop, hit the fuckin' gate, nigga
Grab your burners, it's time to go to war
Nigga, it's a block war, it's my motherfuckin' block
It ain't yours, yours, his, hers, it ain't nobodies but mine
If you wanna stay on this motherfuckin' block, you standing behind me
and I grip this motherfuckin' trigger and I start giving it to niggas like ugh, ugh, ugh

I got a bullet with your name on it
You 'bout to have a hoodie with a motherfucking stain on it
Dashboard with your brain on it
I got a bullet with your name on it
Know it's murder, if The Game on it
Goddamn, I'm the motherfucking man
Got a bullet with your name on it
Know it's murder, if The Game on it
I got a bullet with your name on it

Can't nobody stop what the fuck I'm doing
Lay that shit the fuck down,
everybody get down, nigga, ah
You don't want none of this shit, nigga
I'll give a nigga the whole fuckin' clip
Every motherfuckin' round in this motherfucker you can get
I'm breaking windows, I'm tearing hinges off of fuckin' doors
I'm flipping motherfuckin' cars, trucks, ambulances
This is my motherfuckin' block, lay it down

I got a bullet with your name on it
You 'bout to have a hoodie with a motherfucking stain on it
Dashboard with your brain on it
I got a bullet with your name on it
Know it's murder, if The Game on it
Goddamn, I'm the motherfucking man
Got a bullet with your name on it




Know it's murder, if The Game on it
I got a bullet with your name on it

Overall Meaning

The Game feat. Nipsey Hussle's "Bullets" is a song that speaks about gang violence, turf wars, and the repetitive cycle of violence in inner cities. The song paints the picture of the "my block" mentality that drives gang members to come out of their house with guns at the slightest provocation or dispute with others who are perceived to have disrespected a particular area. The refrain "I got a bullet with your name on it" underscores the message of the song- that violence begets violence, and the only way to win in this cycle is not to take part in it.


The lyrics of the song remind us of the life of inner-city residents- Constantly living in fear of gang violence, feeling that they have to show that they are not weak, and always being ready to retaliate. As the two rappers talk about having to jump off stoops and start shooting, they show the utter hopelessness and desperation that leads people down this path. They paint a picture of young people who have little to lose and, as such, are ready to risk it all for the sake of asserting themselves and their territory.


The song is a call to action to address the root causes of gang violence, such as poverty, lack of opportunities, and systemic inequality. It calls for taking a holistic approach to the problem, one that goes beyond mass incarceration and police brutality. Overall, the song shows the need for empathy, understanding, and the urgent need for systemic change.
