The group first garnered a following in the underground New York scene by independently releasing several mixtapes. The group's founder, Queens-based rapper 50 Cent, officially brought the group mainstream success by establishing it as a division at Interscope Records. Since signing to the label, G-Unit's members have released solo albums.

G-Unit was founded shortly after 50 Cent left Columbia Records. The original members were: 50 Cent, Bang Em Smurf, Domination, Lloyd Banks, Sha Money XL & Tony Yayo. These rappers collectively established the group as a whole in 2000; however, after Yayo got a prison sentence 50 Cent signed Young Buck and along with himself and Banks became the three faces of G-Unit. Smurf and Domination left the group due to some problems with the General, 50 Cent.

After being shot, 50 Cent signed to Interscope Records. Due to the success of his commercial debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin', he was granted his own record label. This was when 50 and Sha Money XL founded G-Unit Records.

The group continued to work hard and released several mixtape series which earned them a lot of attention in the rap industry. The most prominent of these being 50 Cent Is the Future, God's Plan, No Mercy, No Fear and Automatic Gunfire. G-Unit have also started a mixtape series with their DJ, DJ Whoo Kid, called G-Unit Radio.

These mixtapes gave them a gigantic buzz throughout New York City, which eventually led to 50's first solo album Get Rich or Die Tryin' selling over 12 million copies.

Before the group had a chance to record its debut album, Tony Yayo was sentenced to prison for a gun-possession charge as well as bail-jumping. During Tony Yayo's prison sentence, the group signed Nashville rapper, Young Buck. They continued their activity, working on yet more mixtape recordings. In particular, their 'G-Unit Remix' to 50 Cent's "P.I.M.P." was successful.

During Tony Yayo's prison sentence, G-Unit recorded their debut album, Beg for Mercy. The album was quickly released on November 14, 2003 to combat bootlegging and had significant commercial success. Tony Yayo made only two appearances on the album, both on songs that were recorded before his arrest. The album peaked at #2 on the Billboard charts and sold over 4 million units.

50 Cent later went on to sign The Game, Mobb Deep, M.O.P., Olivia, Spider Loc andMase. The Game was asked to be put in the group by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. 50 Cent agreed, and gave 7 of his records which was supposed to go on his second LP The Massacre. After The Game went on the radio and said that he had no problems with some rappers 50 Cent had issues with, 50 felt that Game was disloyal and kicked him out of the group, which lead to the infamous G-Unit vs. The Game/Black Wallstreet meet and beat off.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
I want to get to know you
I really want to fuck you, baby
I'm lost in your lovin'
I'm simply going to drive you , crazy
I want to be your lover
I want to get to know you, baby
I'm lost in your lovin'

I'm simply going to drive you , crazy

[Young Buck]
I'm lovin' how you look in my eyes
Swingin' them hips when you pass
I'm visualizing my name tattooed on that ass baby
Jump on this Harley
Lets go smoke some of that Bob Marley
Sip some Bacardi
Then go pull up at the after party
I think we make a perfect couple
But you think I'm trouble
Maybe that's the reason you gave me the wrong number
She got me feeling like "maybe she the wrong woman"
Think I'm'a be chasin' the chicken head you own somethin'
Your toes painted half fixed all the time
And your Gucci boots the same color as mine
If you read between the lines you can see that I want you
I betcha I have you doin' what you said that you won't do
Making decisions shorty good things don't last long
Your girlfriend keep showin' me that thong
Before I head home
I'ma stop at your house and blow the horn
If you come outside you know it's on

[Chorus]

[Lloyd Banks]
Bitches be frustrated with the baller
Wonder why I don't call her
Maybe because I'm busy and she needs someone to spoil her
It gets annoying from time to time I gotta ignore her
In order to let her know we'll be friends and nothing more
She loves it when I'm in town
Hate it when I'm not around
I get her and wear down
Next door neighbors hear the sound
Pictures hittin' the ground
Just enough to hold us down
I'm stickin' n' moving cruising after the third round
Just lay back baby and let me drive you crazy
I can make a 40 year old feel like a young lady
I admit I fell in love with a frame
And to make her feel special I let her call me by my government name
Her panties wet over fame
Fall in love with my chain
I wonder if I wasn't an entertainer would she remain
Surrounding me hounding me trying to be my only
I'm not your boyfriend I'm your homie.

[Chorus]

[50 Cent]
(Yeah) What would fuck me up more
Watching her lick her lips
Or watching her walk she hypnotize me with her hips (yeah) man
I sweet talking her if she like
Cause all she really want is a nigga to treat her right right
Look I'm legit now used to break laws
Now you can reap the benefit of world tours
Big house big Benz girl it yours
Mink coats Italian shoes stones with no flaws
You ain't go to look like a model for me to adore you
All you gotta do is love me and be loyal
Don't Indulge in my past fuck what happened before you
Cause their be some honies gonna hate you that never saw you
Come here let my touch on you I let you touch on me
Put my tongue on you you put your tongue on me
Let me ride on you and you can ride on
We can do it all the night
We can have a balla night

[Chorus]

I want to be your lawyer
I really want to defend you, baby
I'm lost in your lovin'
I'm simply gonna try you, crazy

I want to be your lover
I want to get to know you, baby
I'm lost in your lovin'
I'm simply gonna try you, crazy

I want to be your lover
I really need to stand you, baby

I want be your lover
I really need to stand you, baby, baby, baby, baby.

Bitches be frustrated with the baller
Women become annoyed with rich and successful men

Wonder why I don't call her
Women question why I do not contact them

Maybe because I'm busy and she needs someone to spoil her
Perhaps I am too preoccupied to provide for her needs

It gets annoying from time to time I gotta ignore her
She can be bothersome, so I ignore her occasionally

In order to let her know we'll be friends and nothing more
I communicate that our relationship will only be platonic

She loves it when I'm in town

Hate it when I'm not around
She dislikes when I am absent

I admit I fell in love with a frame
I confess that I am attracted to her physical appearance

And to make her feel special I let her call me by my government name

I contemplate if she would still be interested in me if I were not famous

Surrounding me hounding me trying to be my only
She constantly seeks my attention and attempts to be the only person in my life

I'm not your boyfriend I'm your homie
I am not in a romantic relationship with you, but we are friends

What would fuck me up more
What would be more distressing to me

Watching her lick her lips
Observing her run her tongue over her lips

Or watching her walk she hypnotize me with her hips
Or viewing her walk, which mesmerizes me with her body movements

Cause all she really want is a nigga to treat her right
All she desires is to be treated with respect by a loving partner

Look I'm legit now used to break laws
I am now a lawful person, previously a lawbreaker

Now you can reap the benefit of world tours
You can now share the advantages of traveling the world with me

Big house big Benz girl it yours
I can provide you with a luxurious lifestyle

Mink coats Italian shoes stones with no flaws
I can buy you expensive garments, shoes, and jewelry

You ain't go to look like a model for me to adore you
You do not need to have a perfect appearance for me to love you

All you gotta do is love me and be loyal
You must only love and remain faithful to me

Don't Indulge in my past fuck what happened before you
Do not concern yourself with my history or past behavior

Cause their be some honies gonna hate you that never saw you
There will be women who dislike you without even meeting you

Come here let my touch on you
Allow me to touch you

I let you touch on me
You can touch me too

Put my tongue on you you put your tongue on me
We can engage in oral sex

Let me ride on you and you can ride on
Let's have sex in different positions

We can do it all the night
We can have extended sexual activities throughout the night

I really need to stand you, baby
I am infatuated with you

I want to be your lawyer
I want to protect and defend you

I'm simply gonna try you, crazy
I will do everything to make you feel crazy for me
