[Intro: The Game & DJ Khaled]
It ain't easy being signed to Aftermath
Shoutout to my n***a game
I don' seen a lot of n***as come and go
I see you out there n***a, in the West Coast
Rakim, Joe Beast, Mel-Man, Brooklyn, shit

[Verse 1: The Game & DJ Khaled]
It almost been two years since I hollard at Eminem
Wanted to give him my support when he was fighting with Kim
Two weeks later, Proof died
Homie, that was my n***a
Wish I could've gave him a hug before he pulled that trigger
Weed in my system, I'm fucked-up, gone off-liquor
It's a hard knock life, but I can't blame Jigga
For niggers rockin' Air Force Ones with red strings in 'em On top, Nu Jerzey Devil
For them blue rags hangin' out the back of they denim
Compton's just like Philly, Philly like New York
Life ain't a cheesesteak, this just food for thought
I'm a real MC, and it's a contact sport
And we can get this shit poppin' like [?] did [?]
I hope he quick on the draw, 'cause life too short
And we all from the ghetto, gotta pass that torch
Dr. Dre don't raise no suckers motherfuckers
So as long as it's Aftermath, the world gotta love us
[Bridge: The Game & DJ Khaled]
You know n***a, the first time I was in the studio with Dre
Man, that shit was like the best motherfuckerin' thing that happen
You gotta see this n***a on a fuckin' machine, man
This n***a made beats, n***a 10 beats every fuckin' minute man
This n***a is crazy wit' it
N***as will never live to see that shit
Listen up

[Chorus: The Game, C.A.G.E. & DJ Khaled]
N***a, welcome to the Aftermath
Pull the chronic up and pass it
N***a, this a classic
N***a, welcome to the Aftermath
A lot of n***as come and go
So I'm here to let 'em know (My n***a C.A.G.E.)
N***a, welcome to the Aftermath
It's the new generation
Always n***as is hatin', so (Big J, waddup Philly)
N***a, welcome to the Aftermath
Another branch from the family tree, the Doc believin' in me
Talk to 'em!

[Verse 2: C.A.G.E.]
Game welcomed me to Aftermath
But I'm too busy ridin' around lookin' for the fish that killed my dad
It's C.A.G.E., the lower n***a from the AF with the Doc
On them pills my Mom OD'd on, my n***a watch
Both burned by A. Young, don't matter who better
'Cause C.A.G.E. and Game the same, only difference is a letter
From the East Coast, rep the West Side of Germantown
N***as passin' the torch, C.A.G.E. money gotta burn it down
Philly rider, I get it done
N***a from the ghetto do it big and record won
Come one, I hit on my scope for this math I'm after
I'm the neighborhood orphan
They call me 'The young bastard'
I'm droppin' tears from my n***as that's gone
I poor liquor my n***a, and put your name in a song
And I don't know what kinda drugs you on
If Game is the Doctor's Advocate, I guess I'm Dre's newborn
[Bridge: C.A.G.E.]
Shit crazy man
N***a come from the block of Philly, man
Being in the booth with Dre, D.O.C., Big Snoop
Shit crazy dawg
Puffin' that California chronic, n***a
I'm from the block, for real n***a
N***as better understand that shit, n***a
It's hard over here man
Shit ain't easy, it's work

[Chorus: The Game & C.A.G.E.]
N***a, welcome to the Aftermath
Pull the chronic up and pass it
N***a, this a classic
N***a, welcome to the Aftermath
A lot of n***as come and go
So I'm here to let 'em know, n***a
N***a, welcome to the Aftermath
It's the new generation
Always n***as is hatin', so
N***a, welcome to the Aftermath (Yeah)
Another branch from the family tree, the Doc believin' in me

[Verse 3: C.A.G.E.]
It's the beast from the Illadel, AMPM champ
From where they grab the CBR, and use your body as a ramp
Riddle n***as, get guzzled in the Tanqueray
Stressin', tryna get these songs in order for Dr. Dre
It's Aftermath, I came too far to flop
And I'm out pourin' liqour for rappers that got dropped
Like uh, matter a fact, I don't say no names
I fall back and leave that up to Game
Tell 'em n***a
[Outro: The Game & DJ Khaled]
Yo C.A.G.E
You know I usually air these n***as ass out man
But on behalf of Dr. Dre, and Aftermath Recordings
I'ma give you n***as a break
And while I'm givin' you this break
Go listen to Rakim, Eazy-E, N.W.A., Ice Cube (Listen up), Big Daddy Kane, Big Pun
All the n***as with 'Big' in their name
All the n***as with 'Big' in their name (Big Pun, R.I.P.)
You n***as is pions, man
