1. 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". On January 24th, 2011, he released a mixtape entitled, "Purp & Patron."

Lord forgive me for killin outta control

Line by Line Meaning
Lord forgive me for killin outta control
As a gang member, I ask forgiveness for the violence I have committed without restraint
Got the spirit of big will pourin outta my soul
I am inspired by rapper The Notorious B.I.G's music and persona
Gangbangin or put a tag on your toes
If you oppose my gang, you will face violence and possibly death
If you down for a drive by nigga we gottta role
If you are willing to participate in a drive-by shooting, then we have a purpose together
I know they hate me 'cause im out chasin dough
I understand that some people resent me for prioritizing money-making over other things
But id rather be doin that
But I would still choose this lifestyle over dying for a woman
Then dying behind these hoes
Then risking my life for women who are temporary
Tell hunned I need sumtin to hold
Tell my friend Hunned that I need something to cope with my grief
Bust a couple of shots in memory of my nigga foe
Shoot in remembrance of my deceased friend Foe
You at home nigga
Wherever you are, understand that I am dedicated to you
I swear to god ima empty out this chrome shit and never left you alone I
I promise that I would have fought for you with all my might if you were still here
Solemnly swear even though you in heaven with mars berg theres still apart of you here and I
I vow that even though you are no longer alive, you will always live on in my heart
Solemnly swear my nigga was the best at cookin yay
I promise that Foe was the most skilled at cooking and distributing cocaine
Since we was yay high
We have been involved in drug dealing since we were young
Im in love with that life
I am enamored with the drug dealer lifestyle
Dont hate me 'cause that bastard that I am
Do not despise me for being a thug
Is just the thug in me rite
My inclination towards violence is a part of my identity as a gang member
Lord I cant figure it out
I cannot understand why God has taken away my friend
Why you took my nigga from me
Why did you allow my friend to die?
We out here huggin the block
We are here on the streets, selling drugs and making money
All night tryna get this money
We work tirelessly to earn a living
You already know who it is
You are aware of my identity as a rapper
And how I play the game
You know my approach to the music industry
Wat you think im suppose to change
Do you expect me to alter my behavior?
'cause I fuk wit game
Because I am affiliated with fellow rapper The Game
Im addicted to these streets
I am unable to quit the drug dealing lifestyle
And this beat is automatic
This instrumental is effortlessly inspiring me to rap

Do not talk if you are not prepared for the violence that may ensue
Say we hit you nigga
If we assault you, we will likely shoot you with an AK-47
Gotta team of young niggas
I have a group of young associates who are willing to commit violent acts
That come and get you nigga
Who will attack you if necessary
Grippin 2 2 3's until they flip you nigga
Carrying firearms in order to kill
21 gunshots and new real thugs n killas
The sound of gunshots is the soundtrack to the lifestyle of my associates
Hey you know I clear the block for my nigga my nigga
I take action to protect those close to me
By any means neccessary
I will do whatever it takes to survive
Clear of galride til we berry(???) yea
Escape the authorities until we die

I would do anything to bring my friend back to life
U know what were my love is at
You know where my heart lies
Young playa real homie
I am a young person who is loyal to my associates

I am too filled with emotions to be calm
You know that deal homie
You are familiar with the situation
Jus keepin it real homie
I am simply being honest
And ima ride 44
I will ride my motorcycle until I die
Until a nigga kill homie
Until I am killed by rivals
As hard as it is for me
It is very difficult for me
Homie I got to spit my hearts hurtin
I must express my emotional pain
Sumbody help me
I need help
My niggas not here no more
My friend is deceased
Billboard real ass nigga the worlds gonna miss you nigga
A respected person, you will be missed by many
You supposed to be here rite now
You are meant to be alive at this moment
Holdin a movie down
Taking care of business
But now I gotta mourn you now
But now I must grieve
Thug, im really not stable
As a gangster, I am not in a good mental state
Last we was watchin cable
When I last saw you, we were watching television
And I feel bout talkin bout rippin piece up(???)
And all I can do now is discuss violent acts
Wen you left I felt wierd as fuk
After you died, I felt incredibly strange
Next mornin my nigga game look sick as fuk
The next morning, my friend The Game looked very upset
I new rite there
I knew what had happened immediately
Then he said foe is dead
Then The Game informed me that Foe had passed away
Why you couldnt take me insteadd
Why did you not take me instead of him?
Damn
I am devastated
