[The Game]
Yo Bus, I think I got.... the answer to all my problems...
[Busta Rhymes]
The f**k you talkin' bout, n****, what's that?
[The Game]
Belevedere... and Banana Snapple [hiccoughs]
[Busta Rhymes]
Look.... get your f**kin' a** up, n****, you over here trippin' on yourself, n****, you get in the f**kin' car, man, we gotta bounce, nig!
[The Game]
I'm a man... and most of these n*****, they don't know how to be a man... I got a son...
[Busta Rhymes]
The f**k you talkin about, n****, come on, n****, let's take yo' a** to the crib, n****, you tired, n****. And put the drink down, n****! We gotta go, n****!
[The Game]
One more shot....
[Chorus]
I didn't mean to walk away,
But I hear every word that you say,
I guess my mind just drew a blank,
Like la, la, la....
Now I'm sitting in this g****** cage,
Reminiscing about my day,
Wit' your blood all over my slate,
As the devil says, la, la, la...
[The Game]
[Verse 1]
Dre, I didn't mean to turn my back on you,
But I'm a man, and sometimes a man do, what he gotta do,
Remember, I'm from Compton too,
I saw you and Eazy in 'em so I started wearing Khaki suits,
I was 12, smoking chronic, in '92,
I had a choice, be like Mike, or be like you,
I made a choice, now it's be Crip, or be Piru,
Whatever I was, I was banging Gin and Juice,
Never knew back then, I'd be friends with Snoop,
Now I gotta keep it gangsta 'cause it's in my roots,
So I owe you my life, when I betrayed you,
I tried to think of what the f**k, Eminem might do.
If every n**** hated him, for that black b**** track,
And n***** stopped b**ping Dre after Dee Barnes got slapped,
When Doc say it's a wrap, it's a rap,
It's still Aftermath, and ain't nuttin' after that!
[Chorus]
I didn't mean to walk away,
But I hear every word that you say,
I guess my mind just drew a blank,
Like la, la, la....
Now I'm sitting in this g****** cage,
Reminiscing about my day,
Wit' your blood all over my slate,
As the devil says, la, la, la...
[The Game]
[Verse 2]
I never said thank you, and I took it for granted,
You let me in your house and made me a part of your family,
Now I'm eating with you, Eve and Busta Rhymes,
I wasn't star-struck, I was just glad to be signed,
And even know sometimes I run loose,
You still my homeboy, Doc, I'd take a bullet for you,
I'm not asking you to take my side in the beef,
But you told me it was okay to say 'F**k the police!',
Now it's my turn to carry the torch,
And I still got the chain that you wore on the cover o' The Source,
Remember when we got drunk to do Start From Scratch?
I told you you was like a father to me, I meant that!
Sitting here looking at my platinum plaques,
Thinking 'What the f**k am I without a Dr. Dre track?'
When Doc say it's a wrap, it's a rap,
It's still Aftermath, and ain't nuttin' after that!
[Chorus]
I didn't mean to walk away,
But I hear every word that you say,
I guess my mind just drew a blank,
Like la, la, la....
Now I'm sitting in this g****** cage,
Reminiscing about my day,
Wit' your blood all over my slate,
As the devil says, la, la, la...
[Busta Rhymes]
[Verse 3]
See when the world is on your shoulders, and the stress grows bigger,
The fire in him made it difficult to talk to the n*igga,
Most of the time I let him know, I don't agree with what he do,
But he a hard-head, Dre, that's why I'm talkin' to you,
See when I first met my n****, son was laying in the cut,
Type reserved, homie was quiet and kept his mouth shut,
Until you told him to spit for me, he flippin' from the gut,
I dug his spirit, and I thought the dude was talented as f**k,
And as time went on, and he was working with the finest,
I saw the pressure start to build so I gave additional guidance,
You gave him something that could make or break a n**** you should face it,
So big I don't even think he was ready to embrace it,
With the potential to be a strong n**** with conviction,
The only problem was our little n**** wouln't listen,
But when Doc say it's a wrap, it's a rap,
It's still Aftermath, and ain't nuttin' after that!
[Chorus]
I didn't mean to walk away,
But I hear every word that you say,
I guess my mind just drew a blank,
Like La, la, la....
Now I'm sitting in this g****** cage,
Reminiscing about my day,
Wit' your blood all over my slate,
As the devil says, La, la, la...
[Busta Rhymes]

We at your crib, n****, get the f**k outta the car, n****, get up, man!
[The Game]
This ain't my house... my house is.... is green!
[Busta Rhymes]
The f**k you talk- look, come on, n****, let's go man, let me walk you up to the... come on... n**** where the keys at, n**** we need to open your door, n****!
[The Game]
