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."

This ain't how it go but this what it is
Fuck what they say bout what I should've did
You tried to play a role and couldn't fit
Tryna get a bag nigga i don't wanna chill
Filling up my cup nigga I don't wanna feel
This just what it is
This just what it is
Life already written so I gotta face my destiny
Mama came from Haiti said them spirits be protectin me
Only see me round some niggas who gone slide and step for me
Nigga please don't check on me unless you gotta check for me
I cannot be nice to people ain't no disrespecting me
Found out ima have a son that news just motivated me
I ain't gettin trapped up in these streets it ain't no baiting me
Tryna get a bag Nigga i don't wanna chill
Filling up my cup nigga I don't wanna feel
Crossing out the fake because they failed to keep it real
Ain't fuckin' with no labels cuz they be bucking on them deals
This shit don't happen over night no no no
Ain't going down without a fight no no
I know they watching I ain't worrying bout no numbers sticking to the grind
It get greater later just be patient ima blow in time
This ain't for me this shit for my jits, fuck how it go bitch it's what it is
Fuck what they talking bout, bout this and this
You tried to play a role but couldn't fit
I'm tryna get this bread Nigga I just wanna vibe
Fill my cup with patron smoke a Boolie getting high
It's just what it is, it's just what it is
This the hand i'm dealt I can't complain about the cards I got
Cant vent to nobody bout my problems cuz they talk a lot
Love be runnin low it got a nigga feelin empty
If I tell you how I feel is you gon use that shit against me
You gone judge me you gon hate me
Is you solid or you fakin'
Bet not play me yea play me im out that water like navy
Only god could save me
Let my nuts hang on the pavement.
Still stuck all in the mud my fam in haiti think i'm famous
Came up with a master plan with G's like i'm Dapper Dan Heavy Game on High Demand
I swear i'll never bite the hand
Only God a judge a man
Only I could plug me in
Only when it hit the fan you'll find what it really is
This ain't for me this shit for my kids
This ain't how it go but this what it is
Fuck what they say bout what I should've did
You tried to play a role and couldn't fit
Tryna get a bag nigga i don't wanna chill
Filling up my cup nigga i don't wanna feel
This just what it is
This just what it is
In the song "What's In" by The Game feat. Ya Boy, the lyrics convey a sense of determination and focus on both personal and familial success. The rapper states that this effort is not just for himself, but also for his kids. He acknowledges that life is not always easy and one cannot change what has already happened. He also asserts that he is not swayed by what others think he should do, as he and only he knows what is best for himself and his loved ones.
The rapper then goes on to express his aversion to wasting time and how he would rather actively pursue his goals with his energy being directed towards his children and building a positive legacy for both himself and his family. He gives a shout out to his mother who is from Haiti and speaks about the spiritual guidance she provides, which gives him strength. He makes it clear that he does not tolerate disrespect and demands that people who approach him be respectful. The rapper also describes how he feels motivated upon discovering that he is going to have a son, which suggests that he is excited about the prospect of passing down his knowledge and values to future generations.
