"The Game's song Rewind II" is a narrative in which the rapper tells a story in reverse, starting from the ending and working his way back to the beginning. The lyrics depict a series of violent and criminal activities, as well as personal encounters and reflections. In the first verse, The Game describes a scene where he shoots someone with a Draco gun, then proceeds to moonwalk back to his car. He takes off his ski mask, puts his blunt (a marijuana-filled cigar) in the trunk, and inhales smoke, driving in reverse while lighting it up. He mentions listening to Nas (another rapper) on his stereo while getting further away from his opponent. He also references the Chronic (a type of marijuana) and rolling up another blunt. The second verse includes messages from a woman and The Game's interaction with her while driving. He flips off police officers, encounters a person in a purple Maserati, and ponders whether they might have a weapon. He then drives up an exit ramp, turns back to the red light, and expresses his intention to kill someone before the night ends. The verse concludes with a conversation on a burner phone about the whereabouts of a person called "At he." The final verse details The Game's activities as he enters a store, purchases more wraps (for rolling blunts), and engages in a conversation with the store clerk. He puts money back in his pocket and returns to his car. Walking backward, he enters a building and encounters a sexual partner. They embrace, she briefly stops performing oral sex, and shares details about her day. She then leaves in an Uber as The Game cleans his gun and goes back to sleep, dreaming about Rihanna. He wakes up, goes to the recording booth, and samples Nas' song, using it as inspiration to write his own lyrics in reverse. The meaning behind the song can be interpreted in various ways. It explores themes of violence, criminal activities, and the rapper's lifestyle. The use of reverse storytelling adds a unique and creative element to the song, highlighting the rapper's storytelling abilities.
