X
Xzibit (feat. Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time to snap out of it, welcome to the real world
My life like a Hitchcock flick, stick to the script
If she can't stick to the script, stick to this dick
How she actin off of the fifth? Ridiculous shit
We don't need conversation, just crowd participation
If you here on vacation we got, rules and regulations
Seperate myself from y'all, segregation
Tryin to stop Xzibit and Dre? Humiliation
Pure elevation, got me some inspiration
Two bitches in bubble baths, a beautiful invitation
Got a live occupation, live for the moment
I'm faced with an altercation manhandlin my opponents
I got eyes in the back of my head
I never sleep so they bloodshot red
Yo we so far ahead of our time
If we can stop life and press rewind
You still wouldn't catch up 'til 2K and a dime, so turn it up


Turn it up! Turn it up
This is it! This is it
We the shit We the shiiiiiiiiiit Get with it!
Give a fuck Give a fuck
Who you wit Who you wit
Turn it up! Turn it uppppppppppp Get with it!

Truthfully speakin, it's lonely up here all by myself
So I had to come down and pass around some help
From N.W.A to whatever's next
Make sure it says ANDRE YOUNG in bold letters on big checks
Your shit ain't sellin? Fuck it, get Dr. Dre on it
You got a budget? I'll get down, give me half of it
One session, one song, I'm gone
The first week, you hit the streets, a star is born
to add to my universe - let me show you
who can invade who nigga, and who can do who the worst
Warning from the Surgeon General
Watch out for fake hits and bullshit that sounds identical
Pick it up, read the credits, who you thought it was?
Twenty years in the game, with a constant buzz
Pick a year, any year, see how hot I was
Same shit today, and still don't give a fuck!

Turn it up! Turn it up
This is it! This is it
We the shit We the shiiiiiiiiiit Get with it!
Give a fuck Give a fuck
Who you wit Who you wit
Turn it up! Turn it uppppppppppp Get with it!

Stay.. in your place Stay in your place nigga
You can't face, what we bringin
What we bring to the game, playa
Bounce like this Bounce Bounce like this
Blaze your shit Blaze your shit
And get high for meeeeeeee

Let me give y'all niggaz somethin to hold
This product not to be sold
Know you can't cook it over a stove
You can flip it and come back with a mitt
Don't make me reach through your limo tint
I just want my twenty percent
This is dedicated to the people that spoke too soon
I think I'll stop shootin you niggaz and shoot for the moon
Motherfuckers turn respect on and off like a light switch
I'll never be seen, like Farrakhan fuckin a white bitch
Jump I won't flinch, dump I don't miss
X holdin this, I'm never losin faith or focus
So say what you gotta say, every day a holiday
We don't blow the roof, we blow the whole fuckin spot away
Organize permission like, organized crime
Organized minds, organize they nickels and dimes
Organized vocab be organizing my rhymes
Organizing my business and organizing my time, so turn it up

Turn it up! Turn it up
This is it! This is it
We the shit We the shiiiiiiiiiit Get with it!
Give a fuck Give a fuck




Who you wit Who you wit
Turn it up! Turn it uppppppppppp Get with it!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for Xzibit's "X" featuring Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre revolve around the theme of being on top of the game in the rap industry. The verses use vivid imagery and explicit language to assert their dominance and discourage potential rivals. Xzibit portrays himself as living like a classic Hitchcock film, with his life following a strict script that others should stick to. He is not interested in small talk or getting to know people beyond their potential to contribute to the crowd's energy. The song also includes a clever play on words, referencing the X in the song's title as both a symbol of Xzibit's dominance and a reference to drugs.


The chorus becomes a sort of anthem for the high energy song, demanding that listeners turn it up and get with the program. The second verse sees Dr. Dre stepping in, talking about his longevity in the industry and willingness to collaborate, but also warning listeners against fake hits and identical sounding music. He concludes with a vow to keep working hard and staying focused. Snoop Dogg's addition to the song features a more relaxed rap style but still emphasizes his authority and power within the rap game.


Overall, the lyrics of "X" focus on the rappers' desire to remain on top of the rap industry despite any potential challengers. They rely on their talent, creativity, and fearless attitudes to keep them ahead of the game.
