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."

The Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said last time, last time
A bitch done slept on me
Was when I fucked her ass to sleep
I done fucked her ass to sleep, dead homies
Last time, last time
A bitch done slept on me
Was when I fucked her ass to sleep
We was sippin' D'Usse in the Mulsanne
Rollin' Old Dirty Bastard to some old Wu-Tang
I told her for the poontang, I would do things
Even though we had different colors in our shoestrings
She grew up in the 60s, did her new new thing
I wasn't really trippin', so we kicked it, Liu Kang
I was all on them titties, boy, 2 Chainz
This bitch pussy bomber than Saddam Hussein, dead homies
Said last time, last time
A bitch done slept on me
Was when I fucked her ass to sleep
I done fucked her ass to sleep, dead homies
Last time, last time
A bitch done slept on me
Was when I fucked her ass to sleep
I done fucked her ass to sleep, dead homies
Dead homies
Dead homies
Ridin' through Compton with the angel on the hood
Got niggas on Death Row, everything ain't all Suge
My nigga 4 Bent gone for good
So I'ma fuck you in the back of the Ghost for the (dead homies)
I'm in here doin' the most for the (dead homies)
Shoot my shot in her throat for the (dead homies)
I poured the Henny on her chest, put that pussy to rest
Then woke her up, stop sleepin' on the West
Said last time, last time
A bitch done slept on me
Was when I fucked her ass to sleep
I done fucked her ass to sleep, dead homies
Last time, last time
A bitch done slept on me
Was when I fucked her ass to sleep
I done fucked her ass to sleep, dead homies

He then mentions a friend who is "gone for good" and how he's going to have sex in the back of his car for his "dead homies."
