The Game Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Excuse me, Travis Barker, you're on, on, on
Crowd been waitin', so don't take too long, long

Can a drummer get some?
Can a drummer get some?
Can a drummer get some?
Can a drummer get some?
Can a, can a drummer get
Can a, can a drummer get
Can, can a drummer get
(Can a drummer get some?)

Boom, guess who stepped in the room?
Drpaed in black diamonds like a fucking Monsoon
Back from the dead but they never found my killer
So I jumped up out the grave like Michael Jackson in Thriller
Iller than most MC's 'cause I be killin' 'em
Most emcees turn into ghost emcees
Yeah, give the drummer some
If 32 Seville when that all black Hummer run
Face off, Nicholas Cage with a gauge
I'm famous for killin' rappers, my style, grenade
Cook shit like Rae, the chef Raekwon
The beats are filet mignon without the A1
Who bark like a pitbull, you? Bitch, please
I ate your favorite rapper's heart out with a 16
Didn't hit the switch on something with big fiends
Make money with Ruff Ryders, homie, that's Swizz cheese

Can a drummer get some?
Can a drummer get some?
Can a drummer get some?
Can a drummer get some?
Can a, can a drummer get
Can a, can a drummer get
Can, can a drummer get
(Can a drummer get some?)

Bang, guess who checked in the game
Smoke in the air like LeBron James
Running this shit like he Ron Dayne
Pull out my dick and just pee on flames
She on Wayne, but she ain't what I be on
I'm beyond, I pee on you peons for eons
I'm in my prime like Deion, I'ma shine like neon
I'm a lion like Leon
But I'm 'bout to go off, 'cause that is all I know of
I don't have to show y'all, I'd rather show off
Yeah, Travis on the drums, Travis on the beat
Wayne got the smoke and Game got the heat
Weezy F, I'm an F'ing star
Haha, get it? F and star
Ha, and it's the rock you bastards
If I'm the rock star we'll rock you bastards

Can a drummer get some?
Can a drummer get some?
Can a drummer get some?
Can a drummer get some?
Can a, can a drummer get (Boss)
Can a, can a drummer get (Black Wall Street)
Can, can a drummer get (Maybach Music)
(Can a drummer get some?)

2Pac in Juice, Radames on the loose
Ten chains 'round my neck, haters wish it was a noose
Long Maybach and I wish it was a coupe
Kush out the jar, car smellin' like Joop
Quarter milli on the seat, yeah, I know I'm a goof
Designer underwear, she knows I'm the Gucc'
Got the wide body, I'm a fat motherfcker
In Swahili I'm screaming "Stack motherfucker"
Your homie won't stop until I decide to
Until then, I'm making goldies for the homies to ride to
Spokes on the folds, folks wanna know
Bitch, I'm the boss, best foots on the blow
Keep the hat pulled low, Big P on the front
Travis on the drums, big weed on the blunt
Being savage where I'm from, girls menage from the jump
Don't try me like a punk, Travis handing me the pump, so

Can a drummer get some?
Can a drummer get some?

it's 2024 & i'm still waiting for a 30 minute version of this song that brings in every #1 rapper & the song just keeps going & going & going...

The fact that more rappers didn't want to get in on this is a shame. Plus I still wish we got a proper drum solo as well.
