Game The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you in the club with ice on, we takin' off
(I thought you was a gangsta nigga, you better shake it off)
(What?)
(Sh-Sh-Shake it off, or get banged on)
Gettin' my bang on, red strings on
Luis Vuitton kicks, Luis Vuitton frames on
You know who I am bitch, I'm Mr. Westside
(This West West or nothin' - get your pistols, get your flag)
(Gangstas we love to sag, we cock it back and blast)
(Like booyaka-booyaka, we lay the party down)
(G-G-Game, Dogg Pound)
Everybody get down
"Look nigga... I nurture and breed"
"I ain't never gave a fuck about a bitches needs"
"And bitch niggas try to invade our town"
"I'mma lay 'em down, spray the 'K and get out"
Say goodbye to the '6-4, hello to the '6-trey
He ain't never seen hydraulics, look at his bitch face
Up, down - now watch my shit scrape
Daz call Snoop, I'mma Crip Walk to get Dre
And Blood Bounce back, heat on the track
Dribble rock like Wade and bounce like Shaq
Throw a O in the pot and watch it bounce right back
Like that (like that?) like that
(You got them funny ass colors on, take it off)
If you in the club with ice on, we takin' off
(I thought you was a gangsta nigga, you better shake it off)
(What?)
(Sh-Sh-Shake it off, or get banged on)
(We street connected, respected, I gets pathetic)
(When I did it I must've meant it, so nigga go and rep it)
(Lil' homies around her constantly on smash mode)
(Lil' niggas with pistols that blowin' out your asshole)
(Bang how we give it, the culture that we live in)
(Fresh out the hospital or fresh out the prison)
(Real niggas for life, the roots of the G tree
N.W.A., Dr. D-R-E)
We not S-T-A-R's, we don't put stars in our shoes
Bitch we put the whole car on the shoes
You don't wanna see my car on the news
I'll "Set It Off" like Queen Latifah, red beam on the nina
"Bang out, chipping in traffic, dipping the classic"
"Dipping to classics, whooping that ass"
"It's hood niggas ready to get it, your bitch can get it"
"Cause I know she'll suck a dick in less than a minute"
"Cuz, I'mma have to show him where the house at"
"Two milli Macs, semi-automatic situational attack"
"In the back with a sack, Cadillac all black"
"Like this and like that"
"Bang, broken like glass and plastic"
"Bang out on him with the mask and plastic"
"We got access to massive plastiques"
"Purchased last week, D.P.G.C"

In Game's song Bang, he talks about the gang culture in his Westside neighborhood. He starts by describing someone with "funny ass colors on" and warns them to take it off or face the consequences. He then proceeds to describe his gang affiliation through various symbols such as his red strings and Louis Vuitton accessories. He also mentions his fo'-five and his reputation as "Mr. Westside". He continues to talk about his gang's love for sagging their pants and carrying weapons, and how they are always ready to "lay 'em down" and defend their town. He talks about switching from his '6-4' to his '6-trey' and the importance of representing his gang culture.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of adhering to gang culture by warning people with precious possessions like ice to take it off or face the consequences. The second verse repeats the themes from the first and emphasizes the idea of loyalty to the gang culture and how it has been passed down through generations. Additionally, he talks about putting the whole car on his shoes and emphasizes the idea of representing the gang at all times. The final verse mentions his friendship with Kurupt and the Crips, and how they run things in LA. He ends the song by reminding people to take off any fancy jewelry before they enter the club.
