The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is a self-regulatory organization that assigns age and content ratings, enforces industry-adopted advertising guidelines, and ensures responsible online privacy principles for computer and video games in the United States, nearly all of Canada, and Mexico. The ESRB was established in 1994 by the Entertainment Software Association (formerly the Interactive Digital Software Association), in response to criticism of violent content found in video games such as Night Trap, Mortal Kombat, and other controversial video games with excessively violent or sexual content.
The board assigns ratings to games based on their content, using judgment similar to the motion picture rating systems used in many countries, using a combination of six age-based levels intended to aid consumers in determining a game's content and suitability, along with a system of "content descriptors" which detail specific types of content present in a particular game. The ESRB also maintains a code of ethics for the advertising and promotion of video games—ensuring that marketing materials for games display their ESRB ratings information, and are targeted to appropriate audiences, and an online privacy certification program. In 2011, the ESRB began a program for rating mobile apps in partnership with CTIA. The ESRB is also a member of the International Age Rating Coalition.

Gaming Historian provides a history of the ESRB's creation. In the early 90's, there was a growing concern from the public about violent entertainment. When the government began seeing footage of graphic video games, they stepped in with an ultimatum for the industry: Regulate yourselves, or we'll do it for you.

Small games, especially indie games, cannot afford the fee charged by organizations like the ESRB or PEGI for a full rating which requires someone to review the game's content and mark it by hand. Allowing developers to submit their own games which are then subject to consumer review for accuracy would make it possible even ...

[Intro: Nature (Half-A-Mill)]
Yea, (uh huh) - puff puff
We 'bout to do is - puff puff
(put a lil bit of hawaiin in there)
What you should do is - puff puff
This one goes out to everybody out there
Within the sound of my voice that gets high
(we'll mix it up like this, knawmean?)
Nature - Half-A-Mill - puff puff
(use that badboy, philly, dutch, backwood it all good)
It don't matter what you use - puff puff, Half-A-Mill
[Half-A-Mill]
Mill Gates low calico, rollin that Cali dro
Roll wit the baddest hoe, roll in that snow
Fold in that dough, playa you know my status quo
Gallons of 'mo, packed purple haze in the dutch
And I ain't passion to yo
Got cash in the stash money like fuck, but ain't flashin to yo
Benz buggy truck kidded up, no room for passenger
Bro "how the hell you gonna be a pimp and ain't a whip"?
Bitches gonna laugh at you
You I hit switches, switch sixes, big spliffs ridiculous
Officilous, nakedlious, chicks rub tits and lips and clit to this
[Hook x5: Nature (Half-A-Mill)]
24/7 - puff puff (puffin on some Izzerb)
[Half-A-Mill]
While you day dreamin, I stay schemin
On your girls face I spray semen
Make her sip syrup cause she earl-up
I'mma still fuck her til she curle up
And when my nut purle up
I gotta block chocolate twirl up
Smoke the whole world up
Word up its murder
How we keep that ganja to burn up
If you like chronic, I mean chronic rewinders turn it up
We got pounds, clowns downs, cock suckers your turn is up
The Firm is up, Sopranos all we do is handle
scrambble and gamble, roll out bamble
so high, Sosa holla out hola, wait I'm in cancun
[Hook x5: Nature (Half-A-Mill)]
24/7 - puff puff (puffin on some Izzerb)
It goes here, your half, what!
[Nature]
Ayo its that shit when you hear in the whip
Your goin to be bumpin yo, dimes, dubs, 50's of dro
Fuck that yo I'm dumpin yo
All day long all to the head, naw I might let one nigga know
Cause thirsty niggaz be bringin they friends
Like please "can my dunn hit it yo"?
They call me anti-socialable, I done coached a few
Made poacher moves, see me when I got a show to do
Back stage pickin wit hoe to screw
Show to improve or showin off
I hear 'em pistols goin off
No insurance on my whip
I crash like I don't know the cost
Laughin then I leave it there
Leave the place, leave the tapes
Take the guns from under the seats
Cause niggaz know, I don't need the case
I ain't the one to be laughin at or laughin wit
I'm action packed, catch me where the cashs at
Or any smoke shops after that
[Hook x9: Nature (Half-A-Mill)]
24/7 --- puff puff (puffin on some Izzerb)
puff puff - (puffin on some Izzerb)
