Loose Cannons
Kurupt Daz Dillinger & Xzibit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till I kept it real and I stayed alive with no compromise
And I fantasize about the baddest bitch and being between her thighs
Then I woke up and realized this is my motherfuckin' real life
You know where the fuck I'm from
From that muthafuckin' legendary
From the city where the niggas load clips and fats
Shit will never change on the West Side
Jack your shit, take your car for a test drive (Ah shit)
Gangbanin' out the window hollering let's ride
Gotta keep a tec by the bedside
These niggas don't know my life
All this pain and what I sacrificed
And all my niggas that lost their life, you never die, you never die
I'm in that motherfuckin' one for a minute now
All y'all lil' niggas need to simmer down
Shut the fuck up, I'm the one that's killing now
Take a look who on top of the pinnacle
R.I.P to KMG
Still gotta murder rap, and don't give a fuck where the body at
You do too much talkin' I walk in the building I just give a fuck where the money at
They coaching the player
They trust me it's only just one of them
I'm callin' them shots and makin' the plays and if you get a train better fuck with him
I keep it gangsta, y'all testin my patience
Got me feelin' so anxious, I be lookin' so facetious
Feel like running a capre
(Wait, hold up I got next)
(What up X)
Spent my birthday in Dubai
Skyrise surprise and I'm dressed like a spy
Black tux, oh you fucks guess what, I'm ready to blow
(Yo, oh no)
I hang that 6-2 sideways
Pissin' off the neighbors scrapin' bumpin' in the driveway
You gave me the pistol told me to kill at will
(Blow, yo, oh no)
(I couldn't give a fuck)
Literally, cashed out just livin' to me
Blast it like a Kennedy beat
Wanna get rid of 'em? Send them to me
While I'm just over here cozy holdin' these double D's
She book smart with pornographic abilities
(Well I don't know what you know
But I know I got that shit)
These motherfuckers still talking? Fuck 'em!
That's why they bring X and the guillotine out
To stop these bitches niggas from runnin' their mouth
(It's bout time somebody said something)
One in the glove, one in the clip, one in the chamber
One on the dash, one in the stash, ready for danger
I'm ready to die I can't control this fuckin' anger
Ah shit, somebody better fuckin' stop me
'Cause I'm a loose cannon that can't stand myself I'm bad for my own health
You niggas really think I give a fuck about somebody else (fuck em')
I swear to god I'ma do it, back the fuck up I'ma do it, I swear to god I'ma lose it

All my life, I've been down to ride
I have always been committed to my lifestyle
Till I kept it real and I stayed alive with no compromise
I chose to stay true to myself and that kept me alive without making any compromises
And I fantasize about the baddest bitch and being between her thighs

You know where the fuck I'm from
You are aware of the place where I grew up
From that muthafuckin' legendary
I come from a legendary place
From the city where the niggas load clips and fats
I am from a city where men load guns and make drugs
And get stabbed at home room should've skipped that class
Some people are attacked and end up getting hurt just going about their day-to-day lives
Shit will never change on the West Side
Things will always be the same in the western part of the city
Jack your shit, take your car for a test drive (Ah shit)
It's easy to steal things and take them for a joy ride in this city
Gangbanin' out the window hollering let's ride
I am involved in gang activities and often go out in a group, shouting and causing a scene
Gotta keep a tec by the bedside
I need to keep a gun close to me at all times for protection

They coaching the player

I am the one in control and making the decisions, and if someone is going to join my crew they better be willing to follow my lead

Hi Xzibit
Spent my birthday in Dubai
I celebrated my birthday in Dubai
Skyrise surprise and I'm dressed like a spy
I had a surprise party on a high floor of a building and I was dressed like a spy
Black tux, oh you fucks guess what, I'm ready to blow
I was wearing a black tuxedo and was ready to party hard
(Yo, oh no)
Hey, oh no
I hang that 6-2 sideways
I have a gun that I carry sideways
Pissin' off the neighbors scrapin' bumpin' in the driveway
I'm getting on my neighbors' nerves by scraping my car and playing loud music in my driveway
You gave me the pistol told me to kill at will
Someone gave me a gun and told me to use it as I please
(Blow, yo, oh no)
Shoot them, hey, oh no
(I couldn't give a fuck)
I don't care at all
Literally, cashed out just livin' to me
I have a lot of money and that is all that matters to me right now
Blast it like a Kennedy beat
I am blasting music just like the way they shot JFK
Wanna get rid of 'em? Send them to me
If you want someone gone, you can send them to me
While I'm just over here cozy holdin' these double D's
I am here taking it easy, enjoying life with some big breasts
She book smart with pornographic abilities
She is intelligent and also skilled in sexual matters
(Well I don't know what you know
I'm not sure what you know
But I know I got that shit)
But I know that I am skilled or have what it takes
These motherfuckers still talking? Fuck 'em!
Other people are still talking about me, but I don't care about them
That's why they bring X and the guillotine out
That's why they need Xzibit and the guillotine to silence all the gossip and talk
To stop these bitches niggas from runnin' their mouth
To shut up everyone who is spreading rumors or talking too much
(It's bout time somebody said something)
It's been a long time coming for someone to speak up
One in the glove, one in the clip, one in the chamber
I have multiple guns with a round in each location for quick access
One on the dash, one in the stash, ready for danger
There is one gun on the dashboard and another hidden away, both ready for use if necessary
I'm ready to die I can't control this fuckin' anger
I am so angry that I am willing to die if it means getting revenge or making a point
Ah shit, somebody better fuckin' stop me
I am so angry and ready to act that someone needs to intervene before I do something I'll regret
'Cause I'm a loose cannon that can't stand myself I'm bad for my own health
I am a risk to myself and my well-being because I am unstable
You niggas really think I give a fuck about somebody else (fuck em')
I don't care about anyone else but myself and my immediate crew
I swear to god I'ma do it, back the fuck up I'ma do it, I swear to god I'ma lose it
I am going to act out and lose control, so everyone better step back and get out of my way
