1996, the Disfunctional member of the Alkohaliks family It's XZIBIT, bring it live, one time, like this 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 niggas that was real and the niggas that was scared as fuck 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 trigger talk, you ain't killin shit It's not affecting me or the niggas that I'm chillin' with I don't believe the hype or buy a Woof ticket Nigga you make a gang of noise and never seem like a cricket I guess that's why we never kick it A lot of niggas are soft and get tossed tryin' to fuck with the liquid How many niggas do you know like this? Always claimin' that they're riding but they really turn bitch 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 that It's a shame Niggas in the rap game Only for the money and the fame Extra large It's a shame Niggas in the rap game Only for the money and the fame Paparazzi It's a shame Niggas in the rap game Only for the money and the fame Extra large It's a shame Niggas in the rap game Only for the money and the fame I don't need no lights, no cameras Just action goddamnit 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 fucked up dialogue Try to live high on the hog leaves you bankrupt And niggas you spent it on would not give a fuck And 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 fuck is you hard Not being scarred by the boulevard I'm pulling that card and sayin', "Gin motherfucker" Flowin' like liquid, soak it in motherfucker I'm breakin' it down, my sounds surrounds like deaf From the West, puttin' whole counties to the test It's all in perspective, breaker one-nine copy This is for the niggas gettin' caught up in the paparazzi It's a shame Niggas in the rap game Only for the money and the fame Extra large It's a shame Niggas in the rap game Only for the money and the fame Paparazzi It's a shame Niggas in the rap game Only for the money and the fame Extra large It's a shame Niggas in the rap game Only for the money and the fame Niggas 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 'em all how I feel I made a cool half mill' before I had a record deal Therefore 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 dares to cross this path, yo? I do you like math, cut with glass, make a bloodbath So on behalf of all the niggas I get drunk with Smoking blunts with, I dispose of your punk shit Keep it all in perspective Carbon copies gettin' caught up in the paparazzi Once again it's the liquidation crew And we return for you like this It's a shame Niggas in the rap game Only for the money and the fame Extra large It's a shame Niggas in the rap game Only for the money and the fame Paparazzi It's a shame Niggas in the rap game Only for the money and the fame Extra large It's a shame Niggas in the rap game Only for the money and the fame Paparazzi It's a shame
