Xzibit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh no, let's get drunk and fuck fo' sho'
Please stop runnin yo' mouth let's go
Actin like you've never seen a dick befo'
All these bitches in here
[Xzibit]
Will the real X to the Z please stand up?
Stickin 'em up at point blank range
They say the more things change, they stayin the same
I can't complain
Type of shit that make you wish you was dead
Make you bite the curb, and stomp down on the back of your head
Blow it out like a afro pick
Attract bitches like flies to shit
Pop pills and ride the dick
Niggaz can't swing this quick, I'm Dark McGwire
Bangin shit over the fence with Rocwilder
Listen, niggaz do anything for a dollar, even
killin they own, let it be known, it's like
[Chorus - repeat 2X]
It ain't safe where I'm from
Niggaz start beef never knowin the outcome
Rather be caught with it than caught without one
Leave it alone because the life that you save might be your own
[Xzibit]
I'm pullin pistols if you don't break bread
Mr. Wrong Side of the Bed, only get excited for head
Now print this in your industry books
If it wasn't for crooks you niggaz'd still sport the Jordache look
Hit the switch, front to back, side to side
Natural born killers never let shit slide
Never rely on the next man to swing for you
A rock and a hard place, duck between the two
And y'all bitches just somethin to do, don't get it twisted
You're easy like Sunday mornin and shopliftin
It go simple as that, I'm never givin half to a rat
I'd rather bam to your face with a bat
You get tied down to the tracks
Used to make a living cookin coke to crack, now I can't turn back
This is holocaust rap nigga, overreact
and I'ma bring to yo' chest like an asthma attack, ya heard?
[Chorus 1/2]
[Xzibit - repeat 2X]
Oh no, X get drunk and fuck fo' sho'
Please stop runnin yo' mouth let's go
Actin like you've never seen a dick befo'
All these bitches in here

Oh no, let's get drunk and fuck fo' sho'
Let's drink and have sex tonight, no doubt about it
Please stop runnin yo' mouth let's go
Stop talking and let's start taking action

All these bitches in here

Will the real X to the Z please stand up?
Which one of us is the true Xzibit?
With my niggaz and my guns, not givin a fuck
I'm hanging out with my friends and armed, not caring about consequences
Stickin 'em up at point blank range
Robbing people by threatening them with a gun at close distance
They say the more things change, they stayin the same
People claim changes are happening but things actually remain the same
I can't complain
I have no reason to complain
Type of shit that make you wish you was dead
This is the kind of experience that can make you feel like dying
Make you bite the curb, and stomp down on the back of your head
You'll be forced to bite the pavement while someone stomps on your head from behind
Blow it out like a afro pick
Smoke weed until it's finished, like an Afro pick combing out hair
Attract bitches like flies to shit
I attract women easily, like flies to feces
Pop pills and ride the dick
Take drugs and engage in sexual activity
Niggaz can't swing this quick, I'm Dark McGwire
Other men can't move as fast as me, I'm like Dark McGwire
Bangin shit over the fence with Rocwilder
Breaking barriers with my music, along with Rocwilder
Listen, niggaz do anything for a dollar, even killin they own, let it be known, it's like
People are willing to do anything for money nowadays, including killing their own kind
It ain't safe where I'm from
My neighborhood is not a safe place to be
Niggaz start beef never knowin the outcome
Men start arguments without knowing how they will end
Rather be caught with it than caught without one
I would rather be caught carrying a gun than be unarmed
Leave it alone because the life that you save might be your own
Don't provoke or engage in dangerous situations, it could save your own life
I'm pullin pistols if you don't break bread
I will use my gun if you don't give me what I want
Mr. Wrong Side of the Bed, only get excited for head
I'm not in a good mood and only get excited for oral sex
Now print this in your industry books
Remember what I'm saying and write it down in the music industry books
If it wasn't for crooks you niggaz'd still sport the Jordache look
If it wasn't for criminals, people would still dress like Jordache models from the 80s
Hit the switch, front to back, side to side
Try out the hydraulics feature of a car, moving it in various directions
Natural born killers never let shit slide
People who are born with an inclination towards violence never let anything go unpunished
Never rely on the next man to swing for you
Don't count on someone else to fight your battles for you
A rock and a hard place, duck between the two
When faced with two bad options, choose the least worst one
And y'all bitches just somethin to do, don't get it twisted
Women are just an activity for me, don't mistake it for anything more
You're easy like Sunday mornin and shopliftin
You are easy to conquer, like a peaceful Sunday morning or a simple shoplifting
It go simple as that, I'm never givin half to a rat
It's as easy as it sounds, I'm never sharing half of my things with a snitch
I'd rather bam to your face with a bat
I'd rather hit you in the face with a baseball bat
You get tied down to the tracks
You will be restrained and vulnerable, like a victim tied to train tracks
Used to make a living cookin coke to crack, now I can't turn back
I used to make drugs for a living, but I can't go back to that lifestyle
This is holocaust rap nigga, overreact and I'ma bring to yo' chest like an asthma attack, ya heard?
This is intense rap music, overreact and I will attack you like a sudden asthma episode, understand?
Oh no, X get drunk and fuck fo' sho'
Oh no, Xzibit will drink and have sex tonight, no doubt about it
Please stop runnin yo' mouth let's go
Stop talking and let's start taking action
Actin like you've never seen a dick befo'
Don't be so shy, you've seen a penis before
All these bitches in here
There are many girls in this place
