Intro
1996, the disfunctional member of the alkohaliks family
itand's xzibit, bring it live, one time, like this
Verse one
Sometimes i wonder if itand's all worth my while
xzibit stay versitile
with million dollar lifestyle
and i can feel it as a child growinand' up
the niggaz that were real and the niggaz that were scared as fuck
thatand's why xzibit only roll with a chosen few
you ainand't really real, i can tell when i look at you
so ease off the trigga talk, you ainand't killin shit
itand's not affecting me or the niggaz that iand'm chillin with
i donand't believe the hype or buy a woof ticket
nigga you make a gang of noise and never seem like a cricket
i guess thatand's why we never kick it
a lot of niggaz are soft and get tossed tryin to fuck with the liquid
how many niggaz do you know like this?
also claimin that theyand're riding but they really turn bitch
it donand't make sense
either youand're a soldier from the start
or an actor with a record deal tryin to play the part
like dat
Chorus:
Itand's a shame
niggaz in the rap game
only for the money and the fame
extra large
itand's a shame
niggaz in the rap game
only for the money and the fame
paparazzi (2x)
Verse two
I donand't need no lights no cameras
just action god dammit
never no superstar
iand'm more like a planet
so my composure is kept while others start to sweat
a merchant from the fog with my fucked up dialogue
try to live high on the hog leaves you bankrupt
and niggaz you spent it on, would not give a fuck
now thatand's deep, how deep, itand's deeper than atlantis
home of the scandalous
big bad los angeles
dangerous, vandelous
yo, not to be trusted
so how the fuck is you hard
not being scared by the boulevard
iand'm pulling that card and sayin gin muthafuckar
flowin like liquid, soak it in muthafuckar
iand'm breakin it down, my sounds, so crowds are like deaf
from the west
puttin whole counties to the test
itand's all in perspective
breaker one-nine copy
this is for the niggaz gettin caught up in the paparazzi
Chorus
Verse three
Niggaz smoke stress and cross dress
but i just play the back
others going through schemes and pipe dreams
for a contract
real tightly rolled, fuck and'em all how i feel
i made a cool half mil
before i had a record deal
there for you look and stare like itand's magic
too much of anything can make you an addict
when devils be startin static, forgot the automatic
i set it off straight, i spread hate, then i vacate, but wait
who dare to cross this path
yo, i do ya like math
cut with glass, make a blood bath
so on behalf of all niggaz i get drunk with
smoke a lot of blunts with
i dispose of your punk shit
keep it all in perspective
carbon copies gettin caught up in the paparazzi
Chorus
