Xzibit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah. I pledge allegiance to the un-united streets of los angeles
Check this shit out, yeah yeah...come on, ha!
You thought I was about to start right there right?
Y'all motherfuckers turn this shit up, it's x to the motherfucking z
Yeah...ha, welcome to my planet..
[verse 1]
From what I seen now that's a God damn lie
Been involved in some other shit, ran from the government
Landed the mother ship, thanks for the ride
My niggaz still bang like the wrath of cain
Fast lane, smack ya bodyguard and take ya chain
And it's all in another day's work for me
I spit the truth, the truth gone set y'all free so-
What's my anti-drug? drugs!
Anti-drugs is when I can't get none, for fun
I drop flows, punk the punk rappers
Load clips for nines and clap with gun clappers
Listen, too many motherfucking cooks in ya kitchen
Missin' the most important part of life 'cause you bitchin'
Bitchin' so much you should tuck ya nuts
And dick between ya thighs and color your eyes
And wax your legs and buy some bras and thongs
And go crazy in the nightclub for sisqo's songs
You a hook motherfucker with the jordache look
Bring lead with ya heat so the beef can cook
[chorus: xzibit]
Who's sticking to the script like pistol grip?
Xzibit, tradition of x-cellence
Hit 'em up, this westside g.s.b
Openbar all night drinks for free
Victory 'cause we make history
Niggaz actually have the audacity
We the shit from the get and we set to win
Straight hard on a bitch y'all sensitive
[singing]
My life, my world, x to the z
The streets done took so much from me
Fuck what you heard this is realityyyyy
I close my eyes and pray just to see
Another day I live to breathe
My life, my world, this is realityyyyy
(yeah, welcome to my planet)
[verse 2]
I done had sleep for dinner, natural born sinner
Watched fiends suck crack through car antennas
Now that we winning motherfuckers aim to get us
The game is vicious constant hostile conditions
For the times I dropped jewels and nobody would listen (nope)
A new position, got a couple of pots to piss in
Got the aim of oswald nigga I ain't missin'
If everybody eating' who the fuck gone clean the kitchen
I got vision, and a real deep suspicion
About a lot of rappers reps and they street conditions
Everybody got bricks of yay, claim they do crimes that pay
And tell you that it paved the way (bullshit!)
Well only a few niggaz really came up this way
With gunplay day-to-day quick to blow you away
Trying to sound like snoop, trying to ball like dre
I just think you mutherfuckers ain't got shit to say
[chorus: xzibit]
Who's sticking to the script like pistol grip?
Xzibit, tradition of x-cellence
Hit 'em up, this westside g.s.b
Openbar all night drinks for free
Victory 'cause we make history
Niggaz actually have the audasity
We the shit from the get and we set to win
Straight hard on a bitch y'all sensative
[singing]
My life, my world, x to the z
The streets done took so much from me
Fuck what you heard this is realityyyyy
I close my eyes and pray just to see
Another day I live to breathe
My life, my world, this is realityyyyy
(yeah, welcome to my planet)
In Xzibit's song "My Life My World," the rapper lyrically illustrates the gritty reality of life in Los Angeles, with its gang activity, drug abuse, and overall hostility. Xzibit establishes himself as an unapologetic rebel who ran away from the government, reminiscent of a man who's always on the run. He takes us through the routines of his life, which involve being involved in other get-rich-quick schemes and running off other gang members. Xzibit does not shy away from using expletives throughout the song, emphasizing the rugged language often associated with the hip-hop genre.
In the chorus, Xzibit boasts about being someone with the stamina to stick to the script and tradition of excellence, and with the ability to hit up anyone he wants at any time. He uses vivid imagery throughout the song, such as "suck[ing] crack through car antennas" and "everybody got bricks of yay, claim they do crimes that pay."
Line by Line Meaning
Some things money just can't buy
There are some things that no amount of money can purchase
From what I seen now that's a God damn lie
In my experience, that statement is completely false
Been involved in some other shit, ran from the government
I've been in some trouble and even had to flee from the government
Landed the mother ship, thanks for the ride
I've been through some tough situations and have come out on top, though I owe thanks to those who helped me along the way
My niggaz still bang like the wrath of cain
My friends and associates can be extremely violent and cause destruction like the biblical character Cain
Fast lane, smack ya bodyguard and take ya chain
We live fast and aggressive lives where we may even attack someone's bodyguard and take their jewelry
And it's all in another day's work for me
These actions are just a part of my everyday routine
I spit the truth, the truth gone set y'all free so-
I speak the truth, and by hearing it, others can gain freedom
What's my anti-drug? drugs!
My way of staying away from drugs is to do the opposite and indulge in them
Anti-drugs is when I can't get none, for fun
The only time I consider myself abstaining from drugs is when I can't get any for recreational use
Load clips for nines and clap with gun clappers
I carry guns and shoot them at those who oppose me
Missin' the most important part of life 'cause you bitchin'
By constantly complaining and being negative, people are missing out on the good things in life
Bitchin' so much you should tuck ya nuts
You complain so much that you may as well tuck your testicles between your legs and act like a woman
And dick between ya thighs and color your eyes
You should also shave your pubic hair and apply makeup to look more like a woman
And wax your legs and buy some bras and thongs
You should then further embrace womanhood by waxing your legs and buying women's underwear
And go crazy in the nightclub for sisqo's songs
Finally, go to a club and dance to Sisqo's songs in a wild and crazy manner
You a hook motherfucker with the jordache look
You're a wannabe who dresses in Jordache clothing
Bring lead with ya heat so the beef can cook
Bring guns with you to a fight so that true violence can take place
Who's sticking to the script like pistol grip?
Who is genuinely following the expected path like a tightly gripped pistol?
Niggaz actually have the audacity
People actually have the nerve or boldness
We the shit from the get and we set to win
We are awesome from the beginning, and we intend to be victorious
Straight hard on a bitch y'all sensitive
We are tough and aggressive towards anyone, even if others may consider us harsh
My life, my world, x to the z
This is my life, my world, and I am Xzibit
The streets done took so much from me
I've been through a lot in the streets and have lost many things as a result
Fuck what you heard this is realityyyyy
Don't believe what you hear about me, this is the real deal
I close my eyes and pray just to see
I am so grateful for my life that I close my eyes and pray, just to open them again and appreciate another day
Another day I live to breathe
Every day that I'm alive is a gift, one that I treasure and value
My life, my world, this is realityyyyy
This is what my life is really like, and it's the only reality I know
(yeah, welcome to my planet)
(This is my world, and you are welcome to experience it with me)
