Jayceon Terrell Taylor (born November 29, 1979 in Compton, California, United States), better known by his stage name Game, formerly known as The Game, is an American Grammy Award winning gangsta rapper signed to Aftermath Entertainment through his own label Black Wall Street Records, with which he founded with his half brother Big Fase 100. He rose to fame in 2005 with the success of his debut album, The Documentary, and his two Grammy nominations. Since then he has released several other critically acclaimed albums, 2006's Doctor's Advocate and 2008's LAX. The RED Album was released August 23, 2011. All of his four albums debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 100, and he is widely considered to be a driving force in bringing back the West Coast hip hop scene and competing with many of his East Coast counterparts.
Studying various influential rap albums, Game developed a strategy to become a rapper himself and with help from Big Fase, they founded The Black Wall Street Records. The label originally featured such artists as Glasses Malone, Vita, and Nu Jerzey Devil, along with Game himself. His stage name was coined by his grandmother. Game first gained prominence when he attended a hip-hop summit hosted by Russell Simmons and Louis Farrakhan, releasing his first mixtape You Know What It Is Vol. 1 in 2002, followed by a record deal with the independent label, Get Low Recordz owned by JT the Bigga Figga. Originally Sean Combs of Bad Boy Records was going to sign him to his label, but Game's mixtape found the attention of famed producer Dr. Dre, who signed him to Aftermath Entertainment in 2003. In October 2004, he released his first album Untold Story through Get Low Recordz, which sold over 82,000 copies within its first three months. The album featured artists like Sean T, Young Noble (of the Outlawz), and JT the Bigga Figga. Game also appeared on various mixtapes hosted by DJ's such as DJ Kayslay, DJ Whoo Kid, and DJ Clue. Game also released a second mixtape You Know What It Is Vol. 2 through his own record label and appeared on the video game NBA Live 2004 on a song produced by Fredwreck called "Can't Stop Me".

Heavy Artillery
The Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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]

You know we got em
We have what we need for any situation
Forty fives, machine guns, heavy artillery
We have a variety of firearms and weapons at our disposal
We got those grenades on your ass, nigga
We are prepared to launch explosives at our enemies
Boss, Black Wall Street
We are the leaders of our organization and affiliated with Black Wall Street
I'm in that bulletproof Maybach nigga (Teflon Don)
I am protected in my luxurious vehicle, like a Teflon Don
Nigga talking like a G but walking like a broad
Someone is acting tough but not backing it up with action
I pull up at the light, pineapple in your car
I will damage your car with a grenade launcher at a stoplight
Nigga I shatter lives, my music camouflage
My music disguises the fact that I destroy people's lives
I court killers at the center of my synagogue
I associate with other dangerous individuals at the core of my network
Torch in hand, extortion to the fortune five hundred
I use violence and intimidation to gain leverage over wealthy individuals
From the porches to the Porsche's with the wides on it
We move from smaller crimes to larger ones, targeting expensive vehicles with rims
'Fore you snitches bitch, you better put your lives on it
Before anyone rats on us, they should consider the danger to their own life
Get you twisted by the ? with them wires on it
We will torture you with electrodes to get information
I get my money smoking spliffs like it's Friday
I make a lot of money and indulge in smoking marijuana
I'm sitting sideways like I'm in my driveway
I am relaxed, comfortable, and not worried about danger
My champagne kicks, my shit three wheels
I am living a lavish lifestyle and can afford expensive things like champagne and an eccentric car
You niggas six feet, we gettin' three meals
We are successful in our criminal enterprises and do not go hungry or unnoticed
They got jumped
The people we are targeting are ambushed
Yeah I got two gun charges, two felonies, just got off probation
I have been in legal trouble for gun-related crimes but am currently out of probation
Real nigga, I hold no grudge with no thugs
I am authentic and do not bear any ill will to other criminals
Come through spraying, bullets out the McLaren
I will rapidly discharge bullets from a McLaren car
They ain't meant for you, so move bitch, you hard of hearing?
The bullets are not meant for innocent bystanders, so they should move out of the way
I speed off doing 90 with the Carter blaring
I make my escape while listening to Jay-Z's album The Carter
Bust shots in the Cavalier like I ball with Baron
I shoot at a cheap car like I have more money and power than the driver
Yeah I Blake Griff niggas, make stiff niggas
I overpower and intimidate anyone who crosses me, like NBA player Blake Griffin
Eminem wasn't Dr. Dre's only sick nigga
Dr. Dre has had other successful collaborations with dangerous individuals
Insane in the membrane like Soul Assassins
I am mentally unstable like the rap group Soul Assassins
Twelve gauge stop a nigga heart like a bowl of Aspirin
A shotgun can kill someone quickly and without warning
I hold automatics, let your man hold the casket
My guns can cause death, and someone else will have to bury the victim
Murder game cold as Aspen, body found in the trash bin
Killing people is routine and their bodies are disposed of without remorse
First forty-eight, they don't find me, case closed
If the police do not find evidence immediately, they will give up on the case
Like a rehabilitation spot in Bobby Brown nose
The police will not find anything where Bobby Brown was once treated for drug addiction
Take em back to Boyz in da Hood when I pull the pump out
I cause a sense of nostalgia for the violent imagery in the movie Boyz in da Hood
Something like C-Murder on Worldstar when I dump out
I will release footage of my violent actions, like rapper C-Murder on the website Worldstar
Ain't nothing changed but them bullets in my clip
My violent behavior has not changed, but now I have more ammunition
I still pull it, still bully niggas on the strip
I still use guns to intimidate and coerce people in the street
Beef, I cook it fully with the fifth
If there is a conflict between me and someone else, I will use my firearm to resolve it
And I ain't got no pets, I put a bullet in ya bitch
I do not care about living things and will kill anyone, including a woman
A nigga with a gun in his hand who won't bust it?
Someone who has a gun and does not use it is useless
Like a bitch with a dick in her hand who won't suck it
Someone who has an opportunity but does not take it is a waste
This is the art of war, you niggas just drawing
I am skilled in the tactics of war, while my enemies are unprepared and weak
Anything I target on is dearly departed, gone
Anyone I target will be killed or seriously injured
Drive by or walk up on, I just stop, breathe, aim cock squeeze
I am skilled and calm when using my firearm, whether I am in a drive-by or walking up to someone
Silencer on the Glock, infrared beam
My gun is equipped with a silencer and a scope, making it easier to kill people quietly
So your block up on machines while the pussies run and scream
Your neighborhood will be filled with police and frightened people while I escape without anyone stopping me
