How We Do (feat. 50 Cent)
The Game · The Documentary (Edited Version)
A glossy celebration of violence, sex, and status with nothing underneath it.
Where the words land
Signal: At Odds.
What do these signals mean?
- Edifying: Points the heart toward God, truth, hope, or love.
- Worth Weighing: Real good and real concern together. Test it before you take it in.
- Strained: Strains against Scripture: leans toward what could dull or mislead.
- At Odds: At odds with Scripture: celebrates what it warns against. Little here builds up.
Weighed against Scripture
“I'm bangin with my hand up her dress like, unh”
“Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.”
Sex here is reduced to conquest and self-gratification, far from the honoring of the body Paul describes.
“Get your f****n head, lumped”
Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”
Violent vengeance is glorified as strength, directly opposing the call to leave vengeance to God.
The song as a whole
“An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.”
The song treats quick anger and retaliation as a badge of honor, the opposite of the restraint Proverbs commends.
“Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.”
The chase for sudden wealth and status is worn as pride rather than examined as the snare Paul warns against.
“The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
The song's whole posture, sexual immorality, drunkenness, rivalry, and strife, reads like a checklist of what Paul calls 'works of the flesh.'
In short
This is a party and bravado track built on wealth, guns, drugs, and sexual conquest, meant to hype a club crowd rather than say anything deeper. There's no searching or lament here, just unapologetic celebration of status and dominance. It's a vivid snapshot of a particular hustler mythology, not a song reaching toward anything beyond itself.
- Lyrical content
Heavy profanity, graphic sexual content, drug references, gun violence, and boasting about wealth and status throughout.
- Spiritual posture
The song centers entirely on self-glorification, materialism, violence, and sexual conquest with no reach toward anything beyond itself.
- Apparent intent
This is a club anthem built to celebrate a lifestyle of guns, drugs, and dominance; it entertains through bravado rather than reflecting on consequence.
What do these ratings mean?
- Lyrical content, what the words say on the surface. Clean: nothing coarse, sexual or violent. Mild: a trace of it, by allusion or a rare word. Strong: profanity, sex or violence in plain words. Explicit: graphic, or sin held up to admire.
- Spiritual posture, where the song's heart points. God-honoring: toward God, truth or hope. Searching: honestly reaching or wrestling toward truth, without arriving. Neutral: spiritually indifferent; neither reaches nor rejects. Dark: despairing, nihilistic, self-exalting or hostile to God.
- Apparent intent, what the song is for. Edifying: worship, encouragement, honest lament. Cathartic: letting grief, anger or longing out, told honestly. Ambiguous: hard to say what the song is for. Harmful: celebrates evil, mocks faith or draws toward sin.
