My Name
Xzibit feat. Eminem Lyrics

This ain't beef man
There's no conflict or animosity between us

I don't know what the fuck to call it
I don't know how to define our situation

But no beef
Still, there's no actual problem to be addressed

Whattup X
What's going on, Xzibit?

I float like B.I.G.'s spirit in this bitch I'm ghostly
I move through the industry with an ethereal presence like Biggie's after death

Rush me, cause you ain't gonna live to roast me
Try to take me down and you'll regret it, because I'll come out on top

I'd have my motherfucking ass kicked by Moby
Even someone who's not known for violence like Moby could beat me up

If I let some bitch in the Can like Bis cop over me
I won't let anyone in prison take advantage of me like Bis did to Canibus

To do war and try to bring my crew back down
If someone tries to start a conflict and bring down my group, I won't engage in it

I'll never stoop to that level to do that now
I won't lower myself to engage in petty conflict anymore

I got a new cat
I have a new gun

This time I'm pulling two gats out
This time I'm armed with two guns

With bullets
Ready to use against any threat

I finally got something to shoot at now
I have a target for my aggression

Let's see who got they city on lock
Let's determine who has the most power in their city

Let's see who got the better aim with the Glock
Let's determine who is the better marksman with a gun

Let's see who come out on top
Let's determine who emerges victorious

Let's see who really want their name in the streets
Let's see who is willing to fight for their reputation

Let's see who wanna die the same time as me
Let's see who's willing to go as far as me, even unto death

And make ends meet
And try to make a living in this dangerous lifestyle

Now was I blessed with a gift or cursed with a curse
I'm not sure whether my talent for rap is a blessing or a curse

I follow hearse after hearse with verse after verse
I keep churning out rhymes and songs even as death surrounds me

And I'll be damned if I let Billy dance Dupri
I won't let anyone, even someone like Jermaine Dupri, take advantage of me

Or anybody swing an axe at my family tree, so now
I won't let anyone harm my loved ones

I love it when you niggas be talking, saying my name
I enjoy the attention and controversy that comes with being a famous rapper

Seems like your mouth is not connected to your brain
Your words are careless and thoughtless

Two-zero-zero-three, and shit, it ain't the same
The rap game has changed and isn't the same as it used to be

Better have a strap my nigga, simple and plain
You better be armed with a gun, no ifs, ands, or buts

Put your nuts on the table, my nigga let's play the game
Put all your cards on the table and let's fight it out

Hurt you so long, you'll be a-ddicted to pain
I'll inflict so much pain on you that you'll become addicted to it

I don't wanna hear what you meant, do not explain
Don't try to explain or justify your words

Right before you lay in your coffin, ho say my name
Before you die, acknowledge my superiority and say my name

I never really smashed on Jermaine's ass, Dre smashed him
I didn't attack Jermaine, Dre did it for me

Nobody ganged up til he came back and jacked him
No one targeted Jermaine until he tried to come back and compete with us

I never really brought it to his ass, I tapped him
I didn't hit Jermaine very hard, I just gave him a light tap

I could have been like Treach, boom-bapped and slapped him
I could have beaten Jermaine like Treach did to Vanilla Ice

Purple, for mimicking him with two rapping Urkels
I criticized Jermaine for sounding like a nerd

I could of snapped, took it past rap and hurt you
I could have physically harmed you instead of just verbally attacking you

But I didn't, I kept it on wax and served you
I just used my rhymes to insult and humiliate you

I Square Dance cause I'm sick of rapping circles
I'm tired of the same old rap feuds, I want something new

Around these clowns, stready trying to call me out
I'm surrounded by people who want to challenge me and start a conflict

It's like I'm listening to motherfucking dogs meow
Their words are foolish and meaningless

You'd probably do better tryin to come and stomp me out
You'd have more success trying to physically overpower me

You don't want it with rap, this is what I'm all about, c'mon
You don't want to test your rap skills against mine, this is what I do best

(I) No gangsta you ain't either
You're not a gangsta, and neither am I

(Will) But I know that I spit ether
But I know that I'm a skilled rapper

(Not) I shit across your belly
I'll dominate and defeat you

(Lose) Show you I'm not R. Kelly
I can win a rap battle without resorting to unethical or illegal tactics like R. Kelly did

X, pass me the weed
Xzibit, give me the marijuana

I'mma put my ashes out on his ass
I'm going to use my blunt to burn and humiliate my enemy

For the last time man
This is the final time I'm going to address this issue

Watch your fucking mouth
Be careful what you say about me

I'm through
I'm done, I'm finished with this topic
