Tough Guy
Xzibit Lyrics

Aiyyo it's the immaculate conception busta bus himself
Introducing himself as a successful and respected artist

And nuttin other than the godfather, spectacular x to the zizzle
Further emphasizing his success and popularity

That's what the fuck it is, 'nuff said
Asserting his dominance and making it clear that he doesn't need to explain himself further

I want to see you motherfuckers put your hands up
Encouraging the audience to participate and get hyped

Stretch bitch like you doin aerobics motherfucker
Demanding that the audience move and dance

Thought you was a tough guy? (Boom!)
Challenging someone who thinks they're tough

When I put one right in ya head, now tell me what you think you is now
Asking what someone thinks of themselves after being humbled by him

(A top dollar biller, a rottweiler, a killer)
Listing characteristics that he associates with himself and his image

(Slap the shit out a nigga tryin to copy my style)
Expressing a desire to protect his unique and original style from imitators

Check it
Getting the audience's attention for a new verse

I got cars (many) switches (many) hoes and (many) bitches
Listing material possessions that he has accumulated

(Many) huh, bodies that's buried in holes of many ditches
Boasting about his supposed power and violence

(Many, many) homes, plenty chrome up on my whip
Continuing to boast about material possessions

(Plenty) stop for you make me run up on your block and cock the semi
Threatening his enemies with violence

Ready, any, nigga front I hold it steady
Claiming that he is always ready for any situation

I (cock) back (pop) the ratchet and spill your spaghetti
Describing the violent aftermath of a gunshot

Huh! Properties or blocks, we control 'em
Boasting about his supposed control and power

(Many, many) glocks know how I kill all your soldiers freddy
Claiming that he is capable of taking down any rival

My machete (huh) will cut niggaz like I ain't really like 'em
Describing the brutality of his violence towards his enemies

(Ha!) then carve a nigga meat deep like I'm killin a bison
Continuing to describe his violent fantasies

Huh! Tyson, animal instinct the way I will beat you
Comparing himself to the famous boxer in terms of his fighting skills

Got (many) shots and (plenty) spots for them bullets to eat you
Boasting about his seemingly endless supply of ammunition

(Ha!) see through (huh) them holes them bullets'll leave in between you
Describing the damage that his bullets can cause

(Ha!) it seems you, got left to die slow all up inside the venue
Threatening his enemies with death

Yup! Yo
Transitioning to a new verse

Orangutangin slangin, I'm hangin over the edge
Describing his personal style and behavior

I rock two 40 glocks, I call 'em barney and fred
Boasting about his weapons and giving them nicknames

I stay hungry like I'm only fed water and bread
Describing his drive and ambition

The king of the castle get at you, screamin off witcha head
Boasting about his power and influence

Brutal bustin, it's the x to the z, we chart climbin
Referencing his success and asserting his dominance

You see my name next to that diamond, it's all timin
Boasting about a successful record or achievement

Hit you in the stomach, with somethin your face and feet'll
Threatening violence towards an enemy

Be touchin to have your bones start crackin and bustin
Describing the resulting damage from a violent attack

To my women who be workin them jeans with fat asses
Changing the subject to admiring women

Rich itala heels, roberto cavali glasses
Describing his preferred fashion choices

Come to my hideout, let me pimp your ride out
Inviting women to his home and offering to make improvements to their cars

Hit your backside, tear your spine out and slide out
Making a sexual reference and adding a violent twist to it

(Huhhh!) yeah, cause my grind don't quit
Talking about his dedication and hard work

I'm a walkin franchise with them extra clips
Boasting about his success and earnings

I keep the bread roll thick, do lines so sick
Talking about his wealth and talent as a rapper

That you can cut 'em with a razor blade, sniff the shit, c'mon
Boasting about his lyrical ability and encouraging others to appreciate it

I tell you (no lie) bitch nigga you (gon' die - kill or be killed!)
Making a direct threat towards someone he considers an enemy

Or get bodied just because you (walked by - nigga be still!)
Asserting his violent tendencies and warning people not to cross him

'Fore the trigger go off and a (shot fly) and the shit'll be ill
Describing what will happen if someone crosses him and triggers his violence

If the shot turn your stomach to a (pot pie) nigga we spill
Brutally describing what will happen after he shoots someone

A little liquor for the homey muh'fucka (we still)
Making a toast to someone who has died

'Ll make a nigga leak blood, 'til he need a (refill)
Describing the violence and brutality of his attacks

You try to be a tough guy, and complicate what I build
Seeing others as a challenge or threat to his success

Somebody don't beat the shit out this muh'fucka (we will!)
Encouraging his crew to take action against a perceived threat or enemy

Asthmatic, dramatic, fold you like a kraftmatic
Boasting about his abilities as a rapper and his control over others

Heavy metal press hittin your chest like a train wreck
Describing the power of his attacks

Command respect, throw it one time for your set on deck
Encouraging respect from others and showing loyalty to his own crew

Niggaz you never forget
Reminding others of the power and presence he brings

I set up precedents, homey you never snitch, hide the evidence
Boasting about his success as a criminal and his ability to avoid getting caught

Dummies dig ditches, they dyin for dead presidents
Describing his enemies and the lengths they will go to for money

The big screen make 'em seem large like an elephant
Commenting on the image and perception of criminals in popular culture

But in real life they so soft and so delicate
Dismissing the perceived toughness of his enemies and asserting his own strength
