Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, you know you got me going crazy
You run around my head like these waves
Yeah, baby you
You know that you the one that I adore
The one I introduce to Tom Ford at dinner
That was you
You'se the one I fell in love with
The one I move these drugs with
But now you on some fuck shit
Anybody but you
I ain't figured it that you would be the one to cut me
Leave me on the floor fucking bloody, Goddamn
Baby you, you had me fooled the whole time
Now you got me in King of Diamonds giving these hoes time
Girl, baby you
I can't blame you though
When you see the door, you see the door
Now listen, baby you

Every time I decide to leave you all in the past
Baby I be thinking 'bout you on the long drive, yeah
And you ain't no one make me feel unsatisfied, no
But baby you, you got me going
But you got me going, you got me going
But you got me, you got me, you got me, you got me, you got me, yeah
You got me, you got me, you got me, you got me, you got me
Baby you, yeah, oh

Like you the one that put us in these cribs
Not me but baby you
Like I ain't getting money for these shows
I guess you think I'm tripping on these hoes
They fans but look at you
Who in them Celine bags? Who in them Giuseppes?
Louboutins, wanna bet me? I win 'cause it's you
You begged me to get on that show
I ain't want it but you did
I'm a real nigga I did it for you
You don't see Swizz and Alicia
Kim K and Kanye arguing all the time

I begged you to marry me
Half a million dollars out my safe down the drain
But fuck it 'cause that was you
Damn we got some beautiful kids
But you never say it something we did
I guess your baby daddy you
Regardless of the shit we go through
I got Jason in the booth, 2 AM singing shit about you

Every time I decide to leave you all in the past
Baby, I be thinking 'bout you on the long drive, yeah
And you ain't no one make me feel unsatisfied, no
But baby you, you got me going
But you got me going, you got me going
But you got me, you got me, you got me, you got me, you got me, yeah
You got me, you got me, you got me, you got me, you got me
Baby you, yeah, oh

Blood is money and I spent it on ya
Ain't it funny how it ended up in
You said you'd go down for the last time
But we both know it's not the last, but I say fine
Long as you going down

When you got me baby, yeah, yeah
Don't listen to what your friends say
Don't listen to what the people say




Don't listen to the blogs baby
'Cause they full of shit, oh, oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Game's song "Baby You" depict a tumultuous relationship filled with deception and betrayal. The singer is deeply infatuated with his love interest, referring to her as the one he adores and fell in love with. He even introduced her to prestigious designer Tom Ford at dinner, showcasing her importance in his life. However, the tables turn, and the singer discovers that she has been deceitful, engaging in actions that hurt him emotionally. He is left feeling shocked and broken, emphasizing that he had been fooled by her all along.


Despite the pain caused by his love interest, the singer finds it difficult to let go and move on. He confesses that even when he tries to leave her behind, her presence still occupies his thoughts during long drives. He admits that she is the only one who can make him feel satisfied, highlighting the depth of their connection. The repetition of "you got me" signifies his entanglement in her grip and his inability to break away from her influence.


In the next verse, the singer addresses the rumors and external judgments that their relationship attracts. He references their luxurious lifestyle, suggesting that his partner believes she is the reason for their success and material possessions. The singer counters this belief, asserting that he is the one earning money through his shows and dismissing her concern about other women. He points out the hypocritical nature of her accusations, highlighting how she begged him to appear on a show he had no interest in, while other high-profile couples also face relationship challenges.


Additionally, the singer expresses frustration over the lack of appreciation for their children and the sacrifices he has made for their relationship. He believes his partner does not recognize the efforts they have put into building a family together. Despite their hardships, the singer remains loyal and dedicated, even having Jason (possibly a close friend) sing about their relationship in the studio at 2 AM.


The final part of the lyrics conveys a mix of conflicting emotions. The singer acknowledges that he has spent a significant amount of money on his partner, suggesting that he has invested a lot in the relationship. However, he also acknowledges that their bond is tumultuous, as evidenced by her promise to go down "for the last time" but knowing deep down that it won't be the last time. The singer is willing to say what she wants to hear to maintain their connection, emphasizing that she "got" him, implying a sense of possessiveness in their relationship.


Ultimately, the lyrics suggest a complex and dysfunctional love affair, wherein both individuals contribute to the toxicity. Despite the challenges, the singer finds it hard to break free from the hold she has on him, even in the face of external criticism.
