Stainless
The Game Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rollin' on the 1-0-5 (1-0-5)
I don't drink when I drive (I don't think you know)
But I gotta do it high (know)
Blowin' smoke in the sky (smoke in the sky)
It's something you should try (something you should try)
Swear to God it's a vibe (know)
Got the stainless on my side (stainless on my side)
This pretty thing by my side (I don't think you know)
Say she rollin' with the vibe (know)
And she rollin' with the vibe (rollin' with the vibe)
And she rollin' with the, vibe (and she rollin' with the, vibe)

2 A.M. I was all alone (alone)
Lamborghini truck in the and the Sade song (sade song)
All day long just callin' my phone (phone)
You and your friends wanna tag along
2 A.M. I was all alone (alone)
Lamborghini truck in the and the sade song (sade song)
All day long just callin' my phone (phone)
You and your friends wanna tag along

You and your friends

If I'm stuntin' then I'm stuntin'
If I'm drippin' then I'm drippin'
Lambo truck with blue laces tell Nipsey it's crippin'
Zero to sixty still shoot it with precision, these is grown man bars
Nigga sit down while you pissin'
Picture me rollin' like Pac, nigga
But I ain't Pac, nigga
I be in that Bimmer with a cock, nigga
Death Row chain just for the trip, I ain't affiliated
West side nigga so they really hate it
I be out in Las Vegas, at the MGM
By the crap tables in some MCM
And it's Monday I'm lookin' like somebody MCM
Niggas better watch their bitches, I be in DM's
Baby Lane killed Pac, niggas killed baby Lane
Bunchry was bustin' back heron died in his chain
A fatal car crash killed Fatal Hussein
Rip Kadafi, ridin' down memory lane

Rollin' on the 1-0-5 (1-0-5)
I don't drink when I drive (I don't think you know)
But I gotta do it high (know)
Blowin' smoke in the sky (smoke in the sky)

Swear to God it's a vibe (know)

I went from wantin' to be Suge, to hatin' Suge, to fuckin' with him
28 years' a long ass time, it's fuckin' with him
Talked to him on the phone the other day
'Bout how Crenshaw was before Dre, now I'm back in L.A.
Ridin' sunset with my clip full
Watchin' the sunset 'cause this shit cool
Life be like that, I'm just tryna catch a vibe, nigga
See some bitches, roll some trees and get high nigga
Run up on my Lambo, that's suicide nigga
Pistol grip, pump on my lap at all time
If the nigga brown, brown rap, it's prolly sound like this
Somewhere between cube and kiss, I can't miss
Documentary, doctor's Ave.
When niggas was really platinum on the 'math
Executive produced by Dr. Dre but that's the past
Believe it now, you play with Dre's name, I'm on your ass

Rollin' on the 1-0-5 (1-0-5)
I don't drink when I drive (I don't think you know)
But I gotta do it high (know)
Blowin' smoke in the sky (smoke in the sky)
It's something you should try (something you should try)
Swear to god it's a vibe (know)
Got the stainless on my side (stainless on my side)
This pretty thing by my side (I don't think you know)
Say she rollin' with the vibe (know)




And she rollin' with the vibe (rollin' with the vibe)
And she rollin' with the, vibe (and she rollin' with the, vibe)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Game and Anderson Paak's song Stainless are about indulgence in vice, but with a sense of self-awareness and a call for others to try it out. The song starts with The Game rolling on the 1-0-5 highway and smoking while driving, something which he swears is a vibe. He also has a pretty girl by his side who is rolling with the vibe as he blows smoke into the sky. The chorus repeats itself twice, emphasizing the call to try out the vibe of living life in indulgence.


The second verse has The Game describing a night at 2 am, alone in his Lamborghini truck, and listening to Sade. This is followed by friends who want to tag along, but the lyricist still mentions that he is indulging in things that are not good for him, such as smoking and drinking. The final verse has The Game being reflective of his past years and talking about his experiences with Suge Knight, how he talked to him recently, and about his riding in his Lambo while smoking.
