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."

Turn this thing around,
Turn this thing around,
Let me go back to where we were.
You left me baby what you wanted to go for,
You said, "I go out my mind",
We carried on but it wouldn't get better,
I hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind at all,
Oh-oh,
You said, "This was our time of separation",
But baby I was just alright,
Yeah.
Turn this thing around,
Turn this thing around,
Turn this thing around,
Let me go back to where we were.
This is a summer of some casualation,
I don't need to tell you I'm down,
My head is spinning but I don't need no favours,
'Cause I don't want to feel you around,
And god I'd love you,
And god I'd love you,
And god I'd love you to stay,
Eh-eh,
Oh maybe baby this particular moment,
Oh I don't want to lose you this time,
Yeah.
Turn this thing around,
Turn this thing around,
Turn this thing around,
Let me go back to where we were.
Help me to be inside,
Help me to realize,
Help me to get by,
I'm gonna be on my way tonight.
And god I'd love you,
And god I'd love you,
And god I'd love you to stay,
Eh-eh

The lyrics to The Game's song "El Presidente" seem to be about a relationship that has gone sour and the desire to turn things around and go back to the way they were. The first verse suggests that the singer's partner left him even though he was just "alright" and that they went through a period of separation. He asks for the chance to go back to the way things were before and hopes that his partner won't mind.
In the second verse, the singer describes feeling down and not wanting his partner around anymore. He still loves her and wants her to stay, but at the same time, he doesn't want to feel her presence. He asks for help to get through this difficult time and laments that he doesn't want to lose her again.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing for a lost love and a desire to make things right. The repetition of the phrase "turn this thing around" reinforces the idea that the singer wants to go back to the way things were before the relationship fell apart.
