On Bail
The Game Lyrics

Yeah, help for the helpless
Acknowledging the need for help for those who are in a helpless state

Big money, big cars, big weed
The typical lifestyle of those who are involved in criminal activity and make large amounts of money

Y'all know what time it is
Everyone knows what is expected of them in this lifestyle

But you better stack that money for bail
It is important to have money set aside for bail, as getting caught is a common risk

I'm on bail, got that weight for sale
Despite being on bail, I am still dealing drugs

Strawberries and blueberries all on a *** tail
Describing the drugs that are being sold as a reference to their color and packaging

I'm on bail, bet not 'nare *** tell
Despite being involved in illegal activity, it is important to maintain loyalty and silence among those in the same circle

Bet not 'nare *** tell, yeah
Emphasizing the importance of secrecy and loyalty among those involved in illegal activity

I'm on a two million dollar bail
The amount of money required for bail is often very high, reflecting the seriousness of the charges

Caught with the products that them young *** sell
Being caught with illegal drugs, which are typically sold by younger individuals

I'm fresh outta cells, twelve hours later
Despite being arrested, I was released relatively quickly

My clientèle hit my pager
My customers are reaching out to me to purchase drugs again

The situation gettin' thick, dat *** Daz is major
The danger of my situation is increasing, and I am concerned about being caught again

I live the life of a gangster, I rob gangsters
Living a lifestyle of illegal activity, which includes stealing from other criminals

Ten years up on the table, I deny that flavor
The possibility of receiving a ten-year sentence, which I deny as being a possibility

See a fighter to the fullest, if I lose, I catch a bullet
Living a very dangerous lifestyle, where violence and death are always a possibility

Can't tell a *** nuttin' when he starvin' and losin'
Individuals in desperate situations are unlikely to be cooperative with the authorities or disclose information

Now I'm back up on the street, completely, correctly
Despite getting arrested, I have returned to my previous lifestyle

You disrespect me, it's the same that's it's gon' be
My response to disrespect will be violent and deadly

Automatics get tragic when you let *** have it
Owning a gun can often lead to violent and tragic outcomes

Then I'm caught back up like before, I gotta stack my cabbage
Getting caught often results in a loss of income and resources, so it is necessary to rebuild

Monday mornin', 8:30, right back in court
Continuing to be subjected to the legal system, returning to court after getting arrested

Couple of homeboys, my momma give me full support
Having the support of family and friends during difficult times is important

Raised up filthy but the Lord be with me
Despite growing up in difficult circumstances, my faith provides me with strength and guidance

Like a Heaven, it's the verdict and the jury, 'Not guilty'
Being found not guilty is a feeling of relief and victory, similar to going to heaven

They used to have me on that paperwork
Having a criminal record or being under court supervision

'Cause I used make my paper work, lifestyle covered with dirt
Living a lifestyle of illegal activity and making money from it, while trying to keep it hidden from the authorities

See I was first on my block with 40 caliber glock
The possession of firearms is common in this lifestyle

Similarities to my uncut, they ready to rock
The firearms are similar to the uncut drugs, in that they are both in high demand and can result in violence

'Cause everybody wanna ball, nobody wanna get caught
Everyone wants to enjoy the rewards of illegal activity, without facing the consequences

Only the pros and the cons get to stack these knots
Only those who are experienced and skilled in illegal activity can make significant amounts of money

Motherf*** want that Benz with the millions by the karats
The desire for luxury items and wealth by any means necessary

When they pacin' all day, they start talkin' like a parrot
When someone is nervous or anxious, they may start to repeat themselves or reveal information

Information, they sharin', so be cautious where you walk
Information about illegal activity is often shared, so it is important to be careful about where you go and who you talk to

Never pillow talk behind closed doors in the dark
Avoiding discussing illegal activity with intimate partners, especially in private

It might creep back and bite you, indict you, convict you
Discussing illegal activity can result in negative consequences, such as being caught and convicted

To a five by nine for a very long time
Going to prison for a long time

*** droppin' dimes, *** is droppin' whole hundreds
Refers to people informing on each other and potentially receiving money for doing so

So the hood's gettin' skinny and the one-times love it
The police are enjoying the fact that less illegal activity is occurring and less people are participating in the lifestyle

If I don't go get it, then the next *** will
Competition for profits in the illegal drug trade is intense, and there is always a risk of losing business

So I kill at will with my gauge in them killin' fields
Being willing to use violence to protect one's business interests and profits

Tell my momma to put the house up, wait, the house cost too much
Desperation to come up with bail money, even if it means putting one's own family's house in danger

Tell her to get a hundred grand out the Porsche truck
Asking for a large sum of money that is likely to be in the possession of the individual's mother

It's just like a house 'cause I take a bath in it
Referring to the Porsche truck as if it's a house, because of the amount of time spent in it

Get *** in it and I gotta stash in it
Storing illegal drugs in the Porsche truck for easy access and transportation

*** hash in it, blueberry chocolate tah
Describing the type of drugs that are being stored and transported

*** chronic make me see ***, like 2Pac alive
Referring to the drug's effects as a hallucination, in which the deceased rapper 2Pac is still alive

Bandanna knotted in the front like 2Pac alive
Imitating the style of the deceased rapper 2Pac

Walkin' out the courthouse, spittin' on the camera guy
Expression of defiance towards the justice system and the people who observe it

I bang 'Thug Life' but this ain't Death Row
Despite living a lifestyle similar to that of Death Row Records' artists, I am not signed to the label

This some gangster *** for my *** down on death row
Creating music that appeals to those who are currently incarcerated

Exhibit A, watch how I let the tec go
Showing off one's familiarity with firearms and willingness to use them

And Exhibit be, burn the rubber on the West coast
Referring to himself literally burning rubber in a car on the West Coast

y'all know y'all miss that
Acknowledging that the audience enjoys hearing about this lifestyle, despite its many dangers and negative consequences
