Here We Go Again
The Game Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo Dre hit the switch (What)

Guess who's bizack wit an ounce of crizack
Or a black mizak fitted to the bizak
LA dodgers kid's at
That's where my shit's at
Niggas want my life homey come get that
I'm tired of the rif rat
Niggas better sit back
Cause when the guns come out
They break like kit-kats
But if it's beef break me of a piece
I eat that beat that i'm back on the streets
I got a whole lot of bitches to see
And i don't fuck any dub niggas bitches to me
And a bitch is a bitch
Thats just a simple fact
Next time I'm in town you gonna get me jacked
Send the baby daddy see how the kids react
When the daddy comes home and
His ribs is cracked
And he files a lawsuit for a million flat
Fuck it I gotta deal wit that
That's just how it is

Dre ridin' again westside again
Go get your ties again
You muthafuckas still ain't take a vacation
If you come back then we go again
Dre ridin' again westside again
Go get your ties again
You muthafuckas still ain't take a vacation
If you come back then we go again

Guess who's back again straight out the CPT
DOC dRE y'all know me wit the shit bangin'
I'm in the streets again
This west coast shit gettin' played again
Its a new season and a lot of people waitin'
A lot of niggas hatin'
Whole lot of stipulation
It's Dre makin the beats
Puttin' riders on the floor
I gets dope I'm the Aftermath CEO
Half the world wanna see me flow
The other half wanna see me go
It won't happen muthafuckas
Dre still rappin muthafuckas
The streets still love him
Paid in full since "Deep Cover"
All three speakers still drumming
Beats still coming
Comptons version of "Feel Drumming"
Same Dre different strokes
Same six-tre different spokes
Same chronic just different smoke

Dre ridin' again westside again
Go get your ties again
You muthafuckas still ain't take a vacation
If you come back then we go again
Dre ridin' again westside again
Go get your ties again
You muthafuckas still ain't take a vacation
If you come back then we go again

It ain't easy being signed to Dre
I'm in the press so much I
Ain't got time to pray
It's been six months too long
Aftermath gotta move on
Now the beef wit me and 50 Cent gone
I told y'all not to fuck wit me
Ghost writer my pens got that Murder Inc
I feel kinda bad about "murdering" Ja
What goes around comes around
Look at 50's shot
But fuck that never mind that shit you did
You tryin' to sell albums I'm just
Tryin' to feed my kid
Game, you gonna respond to Mr potato Head
I told I'm just tryin' to feed my kid
Why scoop to a level that requires a shovel
That's like throwing ice cubes
At the muthafuckin' devil
I left the group cause
The group's too crowded
Now watch Game finish his
Second album without him

Dre ridin' again westside again
Go get your ties again
You muthafuckas still ain't take a vacation
If you come back then we go again
Dre ridin' again westside again
Go get your ties again
You muthafuckas still ain't take a vacation
If you come back then we go again





Aftermath!, It's Game Time

Overall Meaning

The Game and Dr. Dre's "Here We Go Again" is a somber and introspective meditation on the pain of living day-to-day with depression and suicidal thoughts. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is struggling to stay alive, using a mix of vivid imagery and disjointed stream-of-consciousness musings. The opening lines, "Here we go / Spitting these rhymes cuz its all I know / A little disjointed like my flow / Out of sync with the static snow" set the tone for the rest of the song - this is a frank and raw portrayal of a person who is at the end of their rope.


The theme of the tape recording recurs throughout the song, representing both the character's fragmented mental state and the ephemeral nature of life itself. "The tape is faded so play it slow / Wind the reel to make it tight / But there's no switch to set things right" speaks to the idea that we can try to control our lives and emotions, but ultimately we have no power over fate or our own mortality. The lyrics "If the booze don't get me, the darkness will / Suicide thoughts like guns and pills / Drunk in the bath giving all I got / Slide under water with the toaster hot / Get a nice shock that wake me up / Then back to the bar to drain my cup" are particularly harrowing, painting a vivid picture of someone who is in a constant battle to stay alive.


Overall, "Here We Go Again" is a powerful and uncompromising look at the reality of living with depression and suicidal thoughts. It offers no easy solutions or platitudes, but rather invites us to sit with the pain and the darkness that is all too often hidden beneath the surface.


Line by Line Meaning

Yo, Yo, Here we go
Starting the song with energy and enthusiasm


Spitting these rhymes cuz its all I know
Rapping is the only talent that the artist knows


A little disjointed like my flow
The rapper's style is not smooth and polished


Out of sync with the static snow
The rapper is having difficulty finding his voice and staying on beat


Ten degrees south where the rabbit ears go
Trying to tune in and find direction


I told my sister hold em so
Asking for assistance from a loved one to find direction


Find the signal from years ago
Looking for guidance and clarity from past experiences


Where we're headed I don't know
Feeling lost and unsure about the future


The tape is faded so play it slow
Memories and experiences from the past are distorted and unclear


Wind the reel to make it tight
Trying to hold on to old memories and make them more clear


But there's no switch to set things right
There is no easy solution to fix the problems or mistakes of the past


Tape goes forward, Tape goes back
Memories can be confusing and unclear when revisited


It seems sometimes it jumped its track
Memories can be jumbled and out of order


Cut out the bad, Glue what's nice
Trying to remember only the good parts of past experiences


The rots still there beneath the splice
Even when only remembering the good, the bad memories will still linger


If you're lucky, you die first
Death is often seen as a release from suffering


Before your children meet the earth
Not wanting to bring children into a world filled with suffering


But if your luck marks you cursed
Feeling as if you are trapped in a world of suffering


You see your children suffer worse
Knowing that the next generation will likely experience even more suffering


Signal noise turned up loud
The noise of the world can be overwhelming and distracting


Too distorted to hear a sound
With so much noise, it can be difficult to hear what truly matters


Copper wire. Ohms per pound
Referencing the technical aspects of sound and electricity


To catch the charge under ground
Trying to ground oneself and find stability in a chaotic world


Lean in close and listen hard
Taking time to really listen and pay attention to what is happening around you


Hear the screams of a dying god
Feeling as if God or some higher power is suffering with us


It's not right that we suffer so
Questioning the fairness of life and why there is so much pain


And all our friends are made to go
Dealing with loss and the fact that everyone will eventually die
