[Intro]
1996, the Disfunctional member of the Alkohaliks family
It's XZIBIT, Bring it live, one time, like this
[Verse One]
Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth my while
Xzibit stay versitile
with Million Dollar lifestyle
and I can feel it as a child growin' up
the n***** that were real and the n***** that were scared as f***
that's why Xzibit only roll with a chosen few
You ain't really real, I can tell when I look at you
So ease off the trigga talk, you ain't killin s***
it's not affecting me or the n***** that I'm chillin with
I don't believe the hype or buy a Woof ticket
n**** you make a gang of noise and never seem like a cricket
I guess that's why we never kick it
a lot of n***** are soft and get tossed tryin to f*** with the liquid
How many n***** do you know like this?
Also claimin that they're riding but they really turn b****
It don't make sense
Either you're a soldier from the start
or an actor with a record deal tryin to play the part
like dat
[Chorus:]
It's a shame
n***** in the rap game
only for the money and the fame
EXTRA LARGE
It's a shame
n***** in the rap game
only for the money and the fame
Paparazzi [2x]
[Verse Two]
I don't need no lights no cameras
just action god dammit
never no superstar
I'm more like a planet
so my composure is kept while others start to sweat
A merchant from the fog with my f***** up dialogue
try to live high on the hog leaves you bankrupt
and n***** you spent it on, would not give a f***
now that's deep, how deep, It's deeper than Atlantis
Home of the scandalous
Big Bad Los Angeles
Dangerous, Vandelous
Yo, not to be trusted
so how the f*** is you hard
not being scared by the boulevard
I'm pulling that card and sayin Gin m****f****r
flowin like liquid, soak it in m****f****r
I'm breakin it down, my sounds, so crowds are like deaf
from the West
puttin whole counties to the test
it's all in perspective
Breaker one-nine copy
this is for the n***** gettin caught up in the Paparazzi
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
n***** smoke stress and cross dress
but I just play the back
others going through schemes and pipe dreams
for a contract
real tightly rolled, f*** 'em all how I feel
I made a cool half mil
before I had a record deal
there for you look and stare like it'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 n***** I get drunk with
smoke a lot of blunts with
I dispose of your punk s***
keep it all in perspective
Carbon Copies gettin caught up in the Paparazzi
Once again it's the liquidation crew and I return for you
[Chorus]
