The Game - The Doctor's Advocate lyrics

(Hook) I didn't mean to walk away But I hear every word they say I guess my mind just drew a blank, like la-la-la Now I'm sitting in this god damned cage Reminiscing about my day, with your blood all over my slate as the devil sings la-la-la (Verse: Game) Dre, I ain'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 wearin' khaki suits I was 12 smokin' 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 bangin' 'Gin & Juice' Never knew back then, I'd be friends with Snoop sponsored links 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** Eminem might do If every n***a hated him, for the 'Black b**h' track And n***as stopped bumpin' Dre after Dee Barnes got slapped When Doc say it’s a wrap it’s a wrap It’s still Aftermath, and ain't nothing after that (Hook) I didn't mean to walk away But I hear every word they say I guess my mind just drew a blank, like la-la-la Now I'm sitting in this god damned cage Reminiscing about my day, with your blood all over my slate as the devil sings la-la-la (Verse: Game) I never said 'Thank You', and I took for granted You let me in your house, and made me a part of your family Now I'm eatin' with you, Eve, and Busta Rhymes I wasn't starstruck, I was just glad to be signed And even though sometimes I run loose You still my homeboy Doc, I'd take a bullet for you I'm not askin' you to take my side in the beef But you told me it was okay to say "f** The Police" Now it’s my turn to carry the torch And I still got the chain that you wore on the cover of 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 Sittin' here lookin' at my platinum plaques Thinkin' what the f** am I without a Doctor Dre track When Doc say it’s a wrap it’s a wrap) It’s still Aftermath And ain't nothing after that. (Hook) I didn't mean to walk away But I hear every word they say I guess my mind just drew a blank, like la-la-la Now I'm sitting in this god damned cage Reminiscing about my day, with your blood all over my slate as the devil sings la-la-la (Verse: Busta Rhymes) See when the world is on your shoulder and the stress grows bigger The fire in 'em, made it difficult to talk to the n***a Most of the time I let 'em know I dont agree wit' what he do But he a hardhead Dre thats why I'm talkin' to you See when I first met my n***a son was layin' in the cut Type reserve, homie was quite 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** As time went on, now he was workin' with the finest I saw the pressure started to build, so I gave 'em additional guidance You gave him something that can make or break a n***a 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***a with conviction The only problem was our little n***a wouldn't listen But when Doc say its a wrap (its a wrap) It’s still Aftermath And ain't nothing after that. (Hook) I didn't mean to walk away But I hear every word they say I guess my mind just drew a blank, like la-la-la Now I'm sitting in this god damned cage Reminiscing about my day, with your blood all over my slate as the devil sings la-la-la
