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".

Takin It All
The Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wrapped in photo booth
Flashes of your face
Those vibrant and pale waves
Which softly frame your face
Just keep appearing
Can't help but encourage the memory
Attempts to stop the image from fading
These lay-by lyrics won't save me now
You've taken me in I've fallen down
Should have left me out on the back seat
You don't feel, how I feel
That's alright, any night
You want what you don't know
Anymore than you
Ever will let on
Boy I've really got it all
The bar closed we head we head out to the cold
With you the temperature it rose
A flowing silhouette I've met too late
The oven's got your veggie concoctions in
And you're sitting on the floor waiting
I'm leaning on the counter sipping gin
You don't feel, how I feel
That's alright, any night
You want we can be here
Together near
Flames just won't appear
With other firelighters here
Boy I've really got it all
In "Takin It All" by The Game, the lyrics depict a sense of longing and desire for someone who may not reciprocate the same feelings. The singer's mind is constantly consumed by thoughts of this person, as if their thoughts are jumping through hoops and being wrapped in a photo booth. The flashes of the person's face create a vivid image in the singer's mind, with waves that softly frame their face. Despite their attempts to make the memory last and prevent it from fading, they can't help but be drawn to the secret tone of the person's voice, which seduces their ear.
The singer acknowledges that these lay-by lyrics won't save them now, indicating that the person's presence or affection is what they truly desire. They feel as if they've fallen down, and perhaps that the person should have left them isolated on the backseat of their lives. There is a sense of unrequited love or one-sided feelings in the lyrics, as the singer recognizes that the person doesn't feel the same way they do. However, they seem to be accepting of this reality, stating that it's alright any night and that they want what they don't know. The singer feels as though they have it all, even if the person they desire may not feel the same.
The second verse takes us to a bar where the intimate connection between the singer and the person intensifies. As they head out into the cold together, the temperature rises, symbolizing the heat of their connection. The person is described as a flowing silhouette, someone the singer has unfortunately met too late. Meanwhile, the oven has their veggie concoctions in, possibly indicating that the person takes care of themselves and their well-being. The singer finds themselves leaning on the counter, sipping gin, as they observe the person waiting on the floor.
Despite the ongoing desire and passion, the lyrics suggest that the person may not be fully available or willing to commit. The flames of their connection don't appear, possibly due to the presence of others or outside influences. The singer acknowledges that they've truly got it all, perhaps implying that the intensity of their desire and the memories they've created are valuable, even if the person they desire may not fully reciprocate those feelings.
Line by Line Meaning
My minds been jumping hoops
My thoughts have been restless and uncertain
Wrapped in photo booth
Surrounded by memories captured in photographs
Flashes of your face
Fleeting memories of your visage
Those vibrant and pale waves
The contrasting emotions and feelings associated with you
Which softly frame your face
That gently enhance the beauty of your countenance
Just keep appearing
Continuously resurfacing in my mind
Can't help but encourage the memory
Unintentionally allowing the memory to persist
Attempts to stop the image from fading
Efforts to prevent the memory from fading away
Your voices secret tone stroking my ear
The intimate and soothing way your voice caresses my ear
These lay-by lyrics won't save me now
Mundane words cannot rescue me from my emotions
You've taken me in I've fallen down
You have captivated me and I have surrendered to my feelings
Should have left me out on the back seat
It would have been better if you had ignored or forgotten about me
You don't feel, how I feel
Your emotions don't align with mine
That's alright, any night
But that's okay, any time
You want what you don't know
You desire something you are unaware of
Anymore than you
More than you currently comprehend
Ever will let on
Or will ever reveal
Boy I've really got it all
I possess everything I need
The bar closed we head we head out to the cold
After the bar closed, we moved to the chilly outdoors
With you the temperature it rose
In your presence, the atmosphere heated up
A flowing silhouette I've met too late
I encountered a graceful figure when it was already too late
The oven's got your veggie concoctions in
Your vegetable creations are cooking in the oven
And you're sitting on the floor waiting
And you patiently wait while sitting on the floor
I'm leaning on the counter sipping gin
I lean on the counter, savoring a sip of gin
You want we can be here
If you desire, we can remain together
Together near
Close to each other
Flames just won't appear
But the passionate intensity does not arise
With other firelighters here
Despite the presence of other passionate individuals
Boy I've really got it all
I truly possess everything I desire
