Heavy Artillery
The Game feat. Rick Ross & Beanie Sigel 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 lyrics of Heavy Artillery by The Game feat. Rick Ross & Beanie Sigel revolve around the theme of gang violence and the use of weapons to display power and dominance. The first verse talks about the weapons that the rappers possess, forty-five, machine guns, and heavy artillery, with grenades to show their might. They even ride in bulletproof vehicles, indicating that they are not afraid of anyone. The next verse describes how the Game uses his music to hide his illicit activities, which have led him to interact with killers at the center of his synagogue. He is proud of his criminal ways and is into extortion, from the porches to the Porsches with alloys. He advises those trying to snitch on him not to do so unless they are ready to die. He spends his money lavishly, his champagne kicks, and three-wheeled car, indicating he has significant wealth from his illegal activities.


The chorus of the song explains why people should fear them. They have numerous weapons at their disposal, forty-fives, machine guns, and heavy artillery. They can easily take down anyone who challenges them or stands in their way. The last verse talks about how Game handles his adversaries, pulling up beside them with his gun out and doing drive-bys, leaving people dead in his wake. He is not afraid to do what he must to survive and achieve his goals. The song paints a picture of a dangerous world where violence is a means to an end, and those who do not have weapons are often the victims.
