Xzibit Lyrics

1996, the Disfunctional member of the Alkohaliks family
Introducing himself as a member of Alkohaliks family from 1996.

Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth my while
Xzibit has doubts about whether all his efforts are worthwhile.

Xzibit stay versitile with Million Dollar lifestyle
Xzibit is versatile and maintains a millionaire's lifestyle.

and I can feel it as a child growin' up
Xzibit has a sense of what's authentic since his childhood.

the niggaz that were real and the niggaz that were scared as fuck
Xzibit can differentiate between the real and the fake people.

that's why Xzibit only roll with a chosen few
Xzibit only trusts and associates with his selected friends.

You ain't really real, I can tell when I look at you
Xzibit can spot fake people by simply looking at them.

So ease off the trigga talk, you ain't killin shit
Xzibit advises others to stop talking aggressively as it's not affecting him or his friends.

I don't believe the hype or buy a Woof ticket
Xzibit doesn't trust in rumors or people who talk too much.

Nigga you make a gang of noise and never seem like a cricket
Someone who talks too much but is never really active reminds Xzibit of a cricket.

I guess that's why we never kick it
Xzibit doesn't hang out with such people who only make noise without actions.

a lot of niggaz are soft and get tossed tryin to fuck with the liquid
Many people are weak and get defeated when they mess with Xzibit's crew.

How many niggaz do you know like this?
Xzibit asks if others know such fake people.

Also claimin that they're riding but they really turn bitch
Some people pretend to be brave but end up being cowardly.

It don't make sense
Such behavior doesn't make any sense to Xzibit.

Either you're a soldier from the start or an actor with a record deal tryin to play the part
Xzibit believes that one should either be authentic or risk pretending to be someone else.

It's a shame niggaz in the rap game only for the money and the fame EXTRA LARGE
Xzibit is disappointed by people in the rap game who are only after money and fame.

It's a shame niggaz in the rap game only for the money and the fame Paparazzi
Xzibit reiterates that people in the rap game are only after money and fame which attracts the paparazzi.

I don't need no lights no cameras just action god dammit never no superstar I'm more like a planet
Xzibit doesn't need media attention and sees himself as a powerful figure.

so my composure is kept while others start to sweat A merchant from the fog with my fucked up dialogue
Xzibit stays calm while others get nervous, and uses his unique style to express himself.

try to live high on the hog leaves you bankrupt and niggaz you spent it on, would not give a fuck
Xzibit warns that living extravagantly could lead to bankruptcy, and the people you spent it on won't care.

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 fuck is you hard not being scared by the boulevard
Xzibit comments on the deep issues and danger in his home city of Los Angeles, and questions how people can act tough without being afraid.

Niggaz 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 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
Xzibit shows that he made a lot of money before even signing a record deal by following his skilled and authentic style, and warns that everything in excess can become addictive.
