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 ↴
Oh, no
Say it ain't so
I've been hustling all this time
For a better tomorrow in vain
Know that I, I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I meant to cause you any pain
Oh, I
I blame it all on me, yeah
Lord knows that I could've been there
Could've been there
When you needed me but I'm here now (fought the whole world)
Fighting back the tears, I can't believe I gotta say goodbye
It's too soon to cry for you
Forgive me momma that I, I'm fighting back the tears
I can't believe my little brother died
Way too soon to cry for you
No, hell no
I'm thinking 'bout setting it off (thinking 'bout setting it off)
Thinking 'bout killing them all (thinking 'bout killing them all)
They say retaliation is mandatory
Lord help me (Lord help me to walk away)
Lord help me (Lord help me to walk away)
Lord help me (Lord help me to walk away)
And that job will be done, oh
The lyrics to The Game feat. SLY's song Help Me explore themes of regret, loss, and revenge. The song is written from the perspective of someone who is reflecting on their past mistakes and the consequence of their actions. The singer has been working hard to build a better life for themselves but feels like it has all been in vain. They express deep remorse for causing any pain or sorrow to their loved ones, particularly their mother and younger brother, who has passed away. The singer is struggling to come to terms with their loss and is fighting back tears as they contemplate how to move on.
The singer also expresses feelings of anger and a desire for revenge against those who have wronged them. They ponder taking revenge into their own hands and "killing them all," but they also acknowledge that retaliation is not the answer. In the end, they turn to a higher power for guidance and ask for the Lord's help in walking away from their desire for revenge.
Overall, the song touches on complex emotions and motivations that reflect the human experience. It is a poignant reminder of the impact we can have on those around us and the fragility of life.
