Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I come to find out though, all these years, man
The game wont wait no matter who you are
Where you are or how you are
The game wont wait
Its a cold thang, its a cold game
You know how it is

Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait
Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait

Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait
Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait

Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait
Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait

Now all I, see is we
The LBC, 213s
Cheese and please and the reason the season
The click's off the heezy, Mr. Warren G Z
Gots to make it easy, for Snoop D Z
They come back, and drop raps and make snaps so easy
The most hunted, and most wanted
With a pocket full of hundreds, you know how we run it

Snoop D woop pass the M-I-C
Anticipation 213
We contemplate, and regulate
Now we got the game tight, its money to make (money, money, money)
The game wont wait but you can wait for the game
Worldwide tour, with skirts screamin our name

The hits dont stop because the game wont change
all we goin to do is maintain, maintain

The hits dont stop because the game dont wait
I got no time for no payin much rate
I gotta go out and buy some brand new clothes
change my socks before they reveal my toes
The hits dont stop because the game dont wait
And the girls dont stop because the dick is straight
let me teach you what I already know
the hits dont stop so its time I go

Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait
Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait

Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait
Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait

Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait
Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait

Now its the second time around ain't no phonies any fakes
Let me holla at cha tryin to snake my stakes
you older than me, you say OG, you almost 40
tryin to stay young and sporty
Sport you roll me those and stay in ya place
Before you see all-stars, right up in ya face

Youngsta never bite the hand thats feeds you
Proceed to get back to your folks, the loccs that need you
We do, we always keep it on the true
213, thats the name of the crew
Its true, that the dirt i did
As a kid got me caught up, but I was brought up
With the M-O if a D-O, so play your info,
Youngster I been doin this before I hit the radizzo
Snoop D Z is off the heezey
So you can make mine, extra cheesy
The crew's a twist cuz it consists of
3 riders, eastsiders, one love
The hits dont stop because the game won't change
All we ever wanted was a small time rap chain

Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait
Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait

Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait
Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait

Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait
Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait

The shit keeps movin it'll never stop
Long as we able to make hit roccs
Long as a papa can't stop my flow
The shit don't stop I gotta make my flow
The shit don't stop if you intend to take
The shit don't stop its companies we break
Take all the money and toss them hoes
The shit don't stop thats just how it goes

Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait
Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait

Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait
Game dont wait
Shit dont stop because the game dont wait

Game dont wait

Yeah, help for the helpless!
Big money, big cars.. big weed!
Y'all know what time it is! But you better stack that money!
(Awww shit! Ha ha ha ha...)
For baaaiiilll....
I'm on bail, got that weight for sale
Strawberries and blueberries all on a nigga's tail
I'm on bail, bet not 'nare nigga tell... bet not 'nare nigga tell
Yeah!
I'm on bail, got that weight for sale
Strawberries and blueberries all on a nigga's tail
I'm on bail, bet not 'nare nigga tell... bet not 'nare nigga tell
Yeah!

I'm on a two million dollar bail
Caught with the product that them young niggas sell
I'm fresh outta cells, twelve hours later.. my clientele hit my pager
The situation gettin thick, Dat Nigga Daz is major!
I live the life of a gangster, I rob gangsters
Ten years up on the table, I deny that flavor
She a fighter to the fullest, if I lose I catch a bullet (bullet)
Can't tell a nigga nuttin when he starvin and losin
Now I'm back up on the street, completely correctly
You disrespect me, it's the same that's it's gon' be
Automatics get tragic when you let niggas have it
Then I'm caught back up like before, I gotta stack my cabbage
Monday morning, 8:30 right back in court
Couple of homeboys, my momma give me full support
Raised up filthy but the Lord be with me
Like an addict, it's the verdict and the jury, "NOT GUILTY!!!"

I'm on bail, got that weight for sale
Strawberries and blueberries all on a nigga's tail
I'm on bail, bet not 'nare nigga tell... bet not 'nare nigga tell
Yeah!

They used to have me on that paperwork
Cause I used make my paper.. work, lifestyle covered with dirt
See I was first on my block with .40 caliber Glocks
Similarities to my uncut, they ready to rock (ready to rock)
Cause everybody wanna ball, nobody wanna get caught
Only the pros and the cons get to stack these knots
Motherfuckers want that Benz with the millions by the karats
When they fencing all day, they start talkin like a parrot
Information they sharing so be cautious where ya walk
Never pillow talk behind closed doors in the dark
It might creep back and bite you, indict you, convict you
To a five by nine for a very long time
Fuck droppin dimes, niggas is droppin whole hundreds
So the hood's gettin skinny and the one-times love it
If I don't go get it, then the next nigga will
So I kill at will with my gauge in them killin fields
Yeah!

I'm on bail, got that weight for sale
Strawberries and blueberries all on a nigga's tail
I'm on bail, bet not 'nare nigga tell... bet not 'nare nigga tell
Yeah!

Yo X, tell my momma to put the house up, wait, the house cost too much
Tell her to get a hundred grand out the Porsche truck
It's just like a house cause I take a bath in it
Get ass in it and I gotta stash in it
Smoke hash in it, blueberry chocolate tah
Smokin chronic make me see shit, like 2Pac alive
Bandana knotted in the front like 2Pac alive
Walkin out the courthouse spittin on the camera guy
I bang (Thug Life), but this ain't Death Row
This some gangster shit for my niggas down on death row
Exhibit A - watch how I let the tec go
And Exhibit B - burn the rubber on the West coast

I'm on bail, got that weight for sale
Strawberries and blueberries all on a nigga's tail
I'm on bail, bet not 'nare nigga tell... bet not 'nare nigga tell
Yeah!
I'm on bail, got that weight for sale
Strawberries and blueberries all on a nigga's tail
I'm on bail, bet not 'nare nigga tell... bet not 'nare nigga tell
Yeah
Y'all know y'all miss that shit
