(feat. Busta Rhymes, Chauncey Black)

[Chorus:]

I didn't mean to walk away
But I hear every word dey say
I guess mah mind just drew a blank like lalala

Now i'm sittin' in dis god damn cage
Reminising about mah day
Wit ur blood all ova mah sleeve as da devil say lalala


[Verse 1: The 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 its be Crip or be Piru

Whatever I was, I was bangin' 'Gin & Juice'
Never knew back then, I'd be friends with Snoop
Now I gotta keep it gangsta, cause its in my roots

So I owe you my life, when I betrayed you
I tried to think of what the $#&@.. Eminem might do
If every ^!$$% hated him, for the 'Black (*##$' track

And ^!$$%s stopped bumpin' Dre after ?DeBars? got slapped
When Doc say its a wrap.. (its a wrap)
Its still Aftermath, and ain't nothing after that


[Chorus:]
I didn't mean to walk away

But I hear every word dey say
I guess mah mind just drew a blank like lalala
Now i'm sittin' in dis god damn cage

Reminising about mah day
Wit ur blood all ova mah sleeve as da devil say lalala


[Verse 2: The 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 "$#&@ The Police"

Now its 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 plats
Thinkin' what the $#&@ am I without a Doctor Dre track

When Doc say its a wrap.. (its a wrap)
Its still Aftermath..
and ain't nothing after that...


[Chorus:]
I didn't mean to walk away

But I hear every word dey say
I guess mah mind just drew a blank like lalala
Now i'm sittin' in dis god damn cage

Reminising about mah day
Wit ur blood all ova mah sleeve as da devil say lalala


[Verse 3: 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 ^!$$%

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 ^!$$%.. 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 $#&@

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 ^!$$%.. you should face it

So big, I don't even think he was ready to embrace it
With the potential to be a strong ^!$$% with conviction
The only was.. our little ^!$$% wouldn't listen
But when Doc say its a wrap (its a wrap)
Its still Aftermath

And ain't nothing after that...

[Chorus:]
I didn't mean to walk away
But I hear every word dey say

I guess mah mind just drew a blank like lalala
Now i'm sittin' in dis god damn cage
Reminising about mah day
Wit ur blood all ova mah sleeve as da devil say lalala
