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."

(fuck you) ya doctaz advocate nigga
Fuck you, Its Game
Get used to it man
[Chorus:]
You niggas had a chance and this shit iz ova
Its my turn (my turn, my turn, my turn)
Its my turn (my turn, my turn, my turn)
24 loren hearts on dat 06 rover
Its my turn (my turn, my turn, my turn)
Let the sun roof back and i keep on coastin
Its my turn (my turn, my turn, my turn)
[Verse 1:]
I can hear niggas talkin, whisperin in the dark
Like dogs with no barkin when i pull over and park
And them gunz start to spark and them bulletts find a mark
Niggas outlined in chalk and i speak from tha heart
When i say dat i kill you its simple and plain
Dont say shit about dre, and dont mention the game
Thiz industry is fake and i cant understand how a grown ass man
Sent a bitch to tha pen, had a snitch on tha stand
He a bitch like his man, eat a dick for a gram
Eminem call his stand, ima say it again
If i had one more chance, i'd break all his ribs, with my bare fuckin hands
Im a gangsta on fire, now aint you a liar, you aint got no pride
Is a snitch and a liar
The fan base Know dat ya gangsta is Dyin
And i wont stop till dat wanksta retires (Im goin)
[Chorus:]
You niggas had a chance and this shit iz ova
Its my turn (my turn, my turn, my turn)
Dont be mad at me cuz i kept it rollin
Its my turn (my turn, my turn, my turn)
24 loren hearts on dat 06 rover
Its my turn (my turn, my turn, my turn)
Let the sun roof back and i keep on coastin

[Verse 2:]
These rap niggas hate, and they smile in my face
You otha niggaz mad cuz i turn one to waist
And tha radio debate, what tha fuck they gon play
All tha hot shit is my shit, dey take what i say
You scrabble with my words, bring it on the front page
And they gon find a picture of 50 and game
Then say its east vs west, New York and L.A
Since i dont button up, now im beefin with jay
And apolligize say, you niggaz is reckless
You not gon bait me to beef wid a legend
My pride i protect it, tha streets i respect it

After 5 million records, tha dr dre lectures
Da 3 world tours, west coast reserrected
Won four of tha group till my help waz rejected
And not fill da bentis, so i threw away my neckaless
[Chorus:]
You niggas had a chance and this shit iz ova
Its my turn (my turn, my turn, my turn)
Dont be mad at me cuz i kept it rollin

Its my turn (my turn, my turn, my turn)
Let the sun roof back and i keep on coastin

[Verse 3:]
After 20 magazines, and a couple of wars
I can close da first chapter, put my plaqz on da walls
Till da top of da billboard, Who ever knew
I would sell more destineys child nd U2
Or do a song with Busta, go neck to neck with usher
Went gold in a week, Im a bad mutha fucka
This gangsta disciple and This Vice Lord shit
'Round proud some Latin King, This is blood, this is crip
Hit tha impala switch, and i keep a full clip
For any nigga sayin that i fucked hiz bitch
Or changed cuz im rich sayin game use to strip
Niggas wasnt sayin shit, till i came with a hit
Now they wanna see me dead, blood stains in his whip
Take a father from his son, put my name in cement
And after im gone, they gon sample my songs
You can bury my bones, but my music lives on
[Chorus:]
You niggas had a chance and this shit iz ova
Its my turn (my turn, my turn, my turn)
Dont be mad at me cuz i kept it rollin
Its my turn (my turn, my turn, my turn)
24 loren hearts on dat 06 rover
Its my turn (my turn, my turn, my turn)
Let the sun roof back and i keep on coastin
Its my turn (my turn, my turn, my turn)

Do not be jealous of me because I am doing well and living the high life with my fancy car and enjoying the smooth ride and the sunshine.
I can hear niggas talkin, whisperin in the dark
Like dogs with no barkin when i pull over and park
And them gunz start to spark and them bulletts find a mark
Niggas outlined in chalk and i speak from tha heart
People are secretly talking about me, but when I confront them, they do not have anything to say, and then I retaliate with gunfire, leading to their death, all while speaking honestly and directly from my heart about my actions.
When i say dat i kill you its simple and plain
Dont say shit about dre, and dont mention the game
Thiz industry is fake and i cant understand how a grown ass man
Sent a bitch to tha pen, had a snitch on tha stand
If I say that I will kill you, it is straightforward, do not talk badly about Dr. Dre or mention my name. This industry is fake, and I cannot comprehend how a grown man would send a woman to jail and have a snitch testifying.
He a bitch like his man, eat a dick for a gram
Eminem call his stand, ima say it again
If i had one more chance, i'd break all his ribs, with my bare fuckin hands
Im a gangsta on fire, now aint you a liar, you aint got no pride
Is a snitch and a liar
The fan base Know dat ya gangsta is Dyin
And i wont stop till dat wanksta retires (Im goin)
He is pathetic and just like his associate, he would do anything for clout. I will say it again; I would physically hurt him if given the chance. I am a dangerous person, and those who think otherwise are lying. He is a weak snitch, and his fans are aware that he is not real. I will not rest until he leaves the rap game.
These rap niggas hate, and they smile in my face
You otha niggaz mad cuz i turn one to waist
And tha radio debate, what tha fuck they gon play
All tha hot shit is my shit, dey take what i say
These rappers are envious of me but continue to act friendly. Other rappers are mad at me for leaving one of them behind. On the radio, all the hot tracks are copied from me, and they cannot deny it.
You scrabble with my words, bring it on the front page
And they gon find a picture of 50 and game
Then say its east vs west, New York and L.A
Since i dont button up, now im beefin with jay
You try to use my words against me, to make headlines and sell newspapers. When they find a picture of 50 Cent and me, they spin it as an East vs. West rivalry between New York and L.A. Now, since I do not act like everyone else and dress up properly, I am feuding with Jay-Z.
And apolligize say, you niggaz is reckless
You not gon bait me to beef wid a legend
My pride i protect it, tha streets i respect it
Im not tryna replace pac so accept
They apologize and admit that they are reckless and ignorant. They cannot coax me to fight with a legendary rapper because I guard my pride, and I honor the streets. I will not try to replace Tupac Shakur, so they should accept that.
After 5 million records, tha dr dre lectures
Da 3 world tours, west coast reserrected
Won four of tha group till my help waz rejected
And not fill da bentis, so i threw away my neckaless
After selling over five million albums and tours, Dr. Dre still guides me. I helped revive the West Coast rap scene. Despite winning four times with my group, I was still rejected and did not receive a Bentley, so I threw away my necklace.
After 20 magazines, and a couple of wars
I can close da first chapter, put my plaqz on da walls
Till da top of da billboard, Who ever knew
I would sell more destineys child nd U2
I have been featured on the cover of twenty magazines and participated in multiple rap feuds. I am now finishing the first chapter of my career and ready to move on. I have achieved mainstream success, reaching the top of the Billboard charts, surpassing even Destiny's Child and U2.
Or do a song with Busta, go neck to neck with usher

This gangsta disciple and This Vice Lord shit
'Round proud some Latin King, This is blood, this is crip
I collaborated with Busta Rhymes and took on Usher in a competition. My album went gold in a week, which shows that I am an outstanding and exceptional rapper. I represent two gangs, Gangsta Disciples and Vice Lords, and I am also proud of being a Latin King. My gang loyalty is strong.
Hit tha impala switch, and i keep a full clip
For any nigga sayin that i fucked hiz bitch
Or changed cuz im rich sayin game use to strip
Niggas wasnt sayin shit, till i came with a hit
I am prepared for confrontation and will load my gun for anyone who claims I slept with their girl. People accuse me of changing because I am wealthy now, going from being a stripper to a rapper, but they never said anything before I had a hit song.
Now they wanna see me dead, blood stains in his whip
Take a father from his son, put my name in cement
And after im gone, they gon sample my songs
You can bury my bones, but my music lives on
My enemies want me dead, and they will drive around with evidence of it. They will take me away from my child and legacy by putting my name in cement. Even after I am gone, they will still sample and use my music. My career will outlast my death and remain present.
