1996 marks the begginning of a new era   a dysfunctional member of the Alcoholic Family   Its xzibit, HAH   V1:   Sometimes i wonder if its all worth my while   Xzibit stay versatile with million dollar lifestyle   and i could feel it as a child growin up   The niggaz that was real and the niggaz that was scared as fuck   Thats why Xzibit only roll with a chosen few   You ain't really real i can tell when i look at you   So ease off the trigga talk   You ain't killin shit   It's not affectin me   Or the niggaz that im chillin wit   I don't believe the hype   Or buy a wolf ticket   Nigga you make a gang of noise   And never seem like a cricket   I guess thats why we never kick it   Alot of niggaz is soft and get tossed   Tryin to fuck with the Likwit   How many niggaz do you know like dis?   Always claimin that they ridin   But they really aint shit   it don't make sense   Either you a soldier from the start   Or an actor with a record deal   tryin to play the part   Like dat   (chorus)   It's a shame   Niggaz in the rap game   Only for tha money and tha fame   X-Tra Large   It's a shame   Niggaz in the rap game   Only for the money and the fame   Paparazzi   V2   I don't need no lights no cameras   Just action, now damn it   Never no superstar   I'm more like a planet   See my composure is kept   While others start to sweat   Emergin from the fog   With my fucked up dialog   Tryin to live high on the hog leaves you bankrupt   And niggaz you spent it on   will not give a fuck   and dat's deep   HOW DEEP?   It's deeper dan atlantis   Home of da scanadouls   Big bad los angeles   Dangerous, vandalous   Not to be trusted   So how da fuck is you hard   Not bein scarred by the blvd.?   Pullin that card and saying "Gin, MothaFucka"   Flowin like Likwit   Soak it in MothaFucka   Xzibit break it down   My style surrounds like death   from the west   Puttin whole counties to the test   It's all in perspective   Breaker 1-9 Copy   Dis is fo tha niggaz gettin caught up in da paparazzi   (chorus)   V3   Niggaz smoke stress and cross dress   but Xzibit play da back   While you goin through schemes   and pipe dreams for a contract   Real tightly rolled   FUCK EM ALL   How i feel   Made a cool half mill   Before i got a record deal   Therefore, you look and stare like its magic   But too much of anything can make you an addict   When devil's be startin static   Break out the automatic   I set it on straight   i spread hate, then i vacate   BUT WAIT   Who dares to cross this path   Xzibit do you like math   Cut like glass   Make a blood bath   So on behalf   Of all the niggaz i get drunk wit   Smoken blunts wit   I dispose of your punk shit   And keep it all in perspective   Carbon copies   Gettin caught up in da paparazzi      (chorus)
