The Game Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
I think we got a problem, got a got a problem
I think we got a problem, got a got a problem
I think we got a problem, got a got a problem
Think we got a problem, think we got a problem

Think we got a problem, mask on, show you how to rob 'em
Revolver, show you how to solve'm
Drivin' down Harlem, the Aston a problem
No tint fishbowl it ain't hard to spot him
Think we got a problem, weed got too much
Only thing damn I'm down to my last dutch
Think we got a problem, but really it ain't dough
There's one of me, and these bitches I count about three four
Think we got a problem, the homey just all talk
He ain't gon' pop a balloon with a pitch fork
Think we got a problem in the club with this dogg
Rude boy, starks, ladies, everybody

[Chorus: ]

Think we got a problem, Game in Manhattan
Black on black Aston, the 21 strapped in
Dominican chick ridin' shotty all strapped in
Customize the dash on my shotgun strapped in
Cops on the shoulder gotta pull a Hova
Time to fade to black cause I ain't pullin' ova
The engine is a problem, that ain't no question
Pop the trunk see the speakers kickin' like Beckham

Think we got a problem, Sheek know I'm hot
Kiss and Styles should make me a member of the Lox
I take all the beats, I remember how to box
If I ever get knocked out, I remember how to pop
Remember how to load everything inside my glock
Ask the niggas in the hood 'cause they remember who I shot
Think we got a problem, I snitched on myself
And I hate rats so I dugg a ditch for myself, what

[Chorus: ]

Well it's the king of the trill Bun B'der you know the name
And the streets is like the NBA, I love this game
Keep a bottle of Henessey, a blunt and that purp
With my hand up on my heater, and my killaz on churp
You see me one deep in the spot, think I'm slippin', try ya luck
'Cause I got sixteen homeys with me, that stay ready to buck
You can duck dodge or dive, but it won't do diddley squat
But leave ya with a leaky liver and both ya kidneys shot
But you may not pimpin' I ain't fin to ask for it
My money, my hood or my respect, I'm a blast for it
You can't push fast forward, rewind or pause
I'm a beat you till you shittin' ya draws, so call the laws cause





[Chorus: ]

Overall Meaning

The Game's song "We Got It" talks about the problems that the artist and his friends face while living their lives. The chorus repeats throughout the song as a reminder of the problems they have. The first verse mentions the problem of robbery, and the Game talks about the process of robbing someone and then solving the problem with a revolver in Harlem. The second problem is that they have too much weed and only one dutch left. The third problem is with the Game's friends, who are all talk and no action. The final problem is in the club with a rude boy, starks, ladies, and everyone.


In the second verse, the Game talks about his own problems in Manhattan. He has a beautiful car, a Dominican chick riding shotgun, and customized dash on his shotgun. However, the cops are following him, and he needs to fade to black to avoid getting pulled over. The problem with the engine is no question, as the singers are kicking like Beckham. Sheek knows the Game is hot, and Kiss and Styles should make him a member of the Lox. He remembers how to box and load everything inside his glock.


Bun B takes the final verse, talking about himself as the king of the trill. He loves the streets, the game, and Hennessy, and smokes weed with his killaz. He warns people who see him alone that he has sixteen homeys with him, always ready to buck. Pimpin' isn't his style, and he won't ask for his money, hood, or respect. He'll blast anyone who tries to take it from him.

You can compare Game & Pac. Game's big like Pac was in the day. And he's straight fire.. I'd say they're comparable but most people will say Pac is the best ever so it's pointless to me. They're equivalent to me tho..
