Say My Name
Xzibit feat. Eminem Lyrics

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

I don't know what the fuck to call it
I don't know how to describe it

But no beef
But there's no hard feelings

What up, X?
What's up, Xzibit?

Just hit 'em
Just attack them

I float like Big's spirit in this bitch, I'm ghostly
My presence is haunting, like Biggie's spirit

Rush me, 'cause you ain't gonna live to roast me
If you try to attack me, you'll regret it

I'll have my motherfuckin' ass kicked by Moby
I'd rather be beaten by Moby than by a lesser opponent

If I let some bitch in the can like 'Bis cop over me
If I let someone talk about me unfairly like Bis did to him

To do war and try to bring my crew back down
To engage in a battle and try to harm my crew

I'll never stoop to that level to do that now
I won't lower myself to their level

I got a new cat, this time I'm pullin' two gats out
I have new weapons, this time I'm using two guns

With bullets, I finally got somethin' to shoot at now
I finally have someone to aim for

Let's see who got they city on lock
Let's see who has control of their city

Let's see who got the better aim with the Glock
Let's see who's a better shot with their gun

Let's see who come out on top
Let's see who wins

Let's see who really want their name in the streets
Let's see who's willing to gain notoriety in the streets

Let's see who wanna die the same time as me and make ends meet
Let's see who's willing to die before giving up

Now was I blessed with a gift or cursed with a curse?
Do I have a gift or a curse?

I follow hearse after hearse, spit verse after verse
I keep going despite the death around me

And I'll be damned if I let Billy "Dance" Dupri
I won't let anyone disrespect me or my family

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

I love it when you niggas be talkin', sayin' my name
I enjoy it when people talk about me

Seems like your mouth is not connected to your brain
It seems like you're speaking without thinking

Two-zero-zero-three, and shit, it ain't the same
Since 2003, things have changed

Better have a strap, my nigga, simple and plain
You better have a gun, it's as simple as that

Put your nuts on the table, my nigga, let's play the game
Show your courage, let's fight

Hurt you so long, you'll be addicted to pain
I'll hurt you for so long that you'll develop a taste for pain

I don't wanna hear what you meant, do not explain
I don't want to hear your excuses

Right before you lay in your coffin, ho, say my name
You'll remember me even when you're dead

Why do you hate me? (Hate me)
Why do you dislike me?

I came from nothin', blood sweat and tears, you did not create me
I came from nothing and worked hard, you didn't make me

How can you doubt me? (Doubt me)
How can you not believe in me?

You don't know shit about me, there'd be no West Coast without me
You don't know anything about me, I helped build the West Coast rap scene

Cut with the bullshit (bullshit)
Stop with the nonsense

I struggle for survival and now you tryna act like my rival
I fought to survive and now you're trying to compete with me

Watch what you say, partner, it's a small earth
Be careful what you say, we live in a small world

Don't play games with your life, nigga, it's not worth
Don't risk your life for something trivial

All the pain (all the pain), all the agony (all the agony)
All the suffering

All the horror (all the horror), all the tragedy (all the tragedy)
All the terrible events

Put your hands up people, it's time to fight now
Get ready for battle

I beat holes in your chest, remain hostile
I'll attack fiercely, and remain aggressive

Threaten my life? (Come on)
You're threatening me?

One day you'll understand
You'll realize eventually

They say that pride is the sign of a foolish man
Some say that pride is a sign of stupidity

So who the fuck you think you talkin' to?
Who do you think you're speaking to?

Live and direct in the flesh, I'm right in front of you
I'm here in person, right in front of you

I never really smashed on Jermaine's ass, Dre smashed him
I didn't really attack Jermaine, Dr. Dre did

Nobody ganged up 'til he came back and jacked him
No one attacked him until he came back and caused trouble

I never really brought it to his ass, I tapped him
I didn't really attack him, I just confronted him

I could have been like Treach, poom-papped and slapped him
I could have been violent like Treach, who punched and slapped him

Purple, for mimicking him with two rappin' Urkels
I mocked him for imitating Steve Urkel when he rapped

I could of snapped, took it past rap and hurt you
I could have attacked him physically and caused him harm

But I didn't, I kept it on wax and served you
Instead, I attacked him through my music and lyrics

I square dance 'cause I'm sick of rappin' circles
I'm tired of constantly rapping and want to do something different

Around these clowns, steady tryna call me out
These people keep attacking me and trying to call me out

It's like I'm listening to motherfuckin' dogs meow
It's like I'm hearing something impossible, like dogs meowing

You'd probably do better tryna come and stomp me out
You'd have better luck trying to physically beat me up

You don't want it with rap, this is what I'm all about, come on
You don't want to compete with me in rap, this is my area of expertise

(I) No gangsta, you ain't either
Neither of us are gangsters

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

(Not) I shit across your belly
I'll defecate on your stomach

(Lose) Show you I'm not R. Kelly
I'll prove that I won't engage in inappropriate behavior like R. Kelly

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

I'ma put my ashes out on his ass for the last time, man
I'll stub out my cigarette on their butt for the final time

Watch your fuckin' mouth
Be careful what you say

It's the last time, man
This is the final warning

I'm through
I'm finished
