About This Track

Future and The Game trade verses on a track built around competing notions of loyalty. Future's opening sets the frame: a demand for unwavering devotion, money spent without hesitation, the kind of ride-or-die commitment that matters more than anything else. The chorus hammers the point home with blunt repetition. The Game's response complicates things. He moves through a relationship in retrospect, cataloguing the small betrayals and larger fractures that accumulate between two people. References to shared history, material excess, and the children caught in the middle accumulate into a portrait of something that worked once but has curdled. His final bars circle back to the streets, to the identity he held before all of it, suggesting that some loyalties run deeper than romance ever could.

"Dedicated" is a track by The Game, from the album The Documentary 2, released 9th October 2015. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Dedicated

[Intro: Future]

Can I trust you gonna ride for me like I ride for you?

Future Hendrix, yeah!

Bongo, by the way

[Verse 1: Future]

Money we burn it on bitches like candles

Can I trust you gonna ride for me like I ride for you?

I speak your name and it's royalty

You see the stress and my loyalty

You gotta be there for me through the casualties

You see my trials and my tribulations

You can tell them demons tryna capture me

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

I know these niggas gon' ride, yeah, squeeze triggers

You gotta put in some time for this

Almost lost my mind for this

Fuck all that crying lil bitch

Niggas round my way, they dying for this

[Chorus: Future]

Fuck all these bitches, I'm yours

Fuck all these bitches, I'm yours

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

Fuck all these bitches, I'm yours

Fuck all these bitches, I'm yours

[Verse 2: The Game]

You already know me, know how I get down

Know I'm with the shit when I pull up

Any nigga ever disrespected you from the beginning

I put the chrome to his neck like a pull up

You know a nigga bang Cedar block

You was bool with it, wasn't you?

Talkin' 'bout when a nigga gonna leave the block alone

But you never say this shit when I'm fucking you

We was the Huxtables, everything was perfect

Everything was working

We had some beautiful kids together

Had a nigga feeling like everything was worth it

Closet full of Birkins

How you make a nigga spend a million dollars on purses?

Then have an attitude

Like you in the studio helping a nigga write verses

Had a nigga focused on the future, now a nigga feeling like Future

We both dealing with a new nigga 'round our kids

And we ain't kill 'em yet, nigga, I salute you

And I still bang like I used to, red Impala, gold things like I used to

Pick up my kids, they don't see none of that

But when I'm back in the hood I'm yelling soo woo!

And it was all good just a week ago

Shit, we was Nicki and Meek a week ago

Gave you everything, the watch, the house, the cards

Tatted your passport, and now you wanna see me low

Wanna take my pussy, give it to the next nigga free

One thing about the next nigga

He just the next nigga, he can never be me

I'm coming to get my kids and they momma like

[Chorus: Future]

Fuck all these bitches, I'm yours

Fuck all these bitches, I'm yours

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

Fuck all these bitches, I'm yours

Fuck all these bitches, I'm yours

[Verse 3: The Game]

Compton ain't the same

Where all these bitch niggas come from?

Can’t even take a fade or ride through the hood

Without niggas hands out like they want some

But where you at when I need you?

See most of these niggas see through

You throw up a P, I throw up a P too

You pulling out heat, I draw the heat too

Compton made me like this, nigga

Fuck all these bitches, get money and die

Hundred niggas in my section, hundred Rollies in the sky

There's a hundred little niggas that will bang on a nigga

Put the flame on a nigga, take chains from a nigga

That will go BG, Turk and Wayne on a nigga

When the club get cloudy let it rain on a nigga

We are with the shit, let us redefine lit

That’s in the club smoking on extendos, extendo with the clip

Standing on the couch like wah

Backwood hanging out my mouth like wah

Who the fuck want a problem?

Once you’re shot, leave a nigga dead on an island

Creep out the back door with my side bitch, aye

[Chorus: Future]

Fuck all these bitches, I'm yours

Fuck all these bitches, I'm yours

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

Fuck all these bitches, I'm yours

Fuck all these bitches, I'm yours

[Outro: Sonyae & (Future)]

Oooh-oooh-oooh

Fuck these other bitches I just

Oooh-oooh-oooh

Fuck with them when issues begin

Oooh-oooh-oooh

I be with my niggas, when I'm

Oooh-oooh-oooh

Say I'm with my niggas, I just

Oooh-oooh-oooh

Don't you know there's no better time than when I'm with you?

But I can't control these temptations when a nigga not with you

You wanna be done with me, but your heart won't let it

Standing at the front door but you just can't exit

You wanna be with me

You wanna be with me

You wanna be with me, with me, with me, with me

Me, me, me, me

You wanna be with me, with me, with me, with me

Me, me, me, me

Me, me, me, me

(Fuck all these bitches, I'm yours

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas

Only thing that ever mattered to me was my niggas)
