Yes 1996 wathing the beginning of a new era
the disfunctional member of the alkohaliks family
It's xzibit,ah yeah
Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth my while
Xzibit stay versitile
With million dollar lifestyle
And I can feel it as a child growin' up
The brothers that was real and the brothers that was scared to fuck
It's why xzibit only roll with a chosen few
You ain't really real, I can tell when I look at you
ease off the trigga talk, you ain't killin and
It's not affecting me or the click that I'm rolling with
I don't believe the hype or buy woof tickets
you make a gang of noise and never seem like a cricket
I guess that's why we never kick it
A lot of rappers is soft and get tossed tryin to come through the liquid
How many rappers do you know like this?
Always claimin that they're riding but they really aint(shit)
It don't make sense
Either you're a soldier from the start
Or an actor with a record deal tryna play the part
Like dat

It's a shame
You re only in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large
It's a shame
You re only in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Paparazzi

I don't need no lights no cameras
all i got is actiom
Never no superstar
Fed up with Mickael Jacksons
So my composure is kept while others start to sweat
A merchant from the fog with my fucked up dialogue
Try to live high on the hog leaves you bankrupt
And People you spent it on, would not give a fuck
Now that's deep, how deep, it's deeper than atlantis
Home of the scandalous
Big bad Los Angeles
Dangerous, vandelous
Yo not to be trusted
Perpetrate like you hard
Not being scared by the boulevard
Pulling out cards and sayin gin as i begin
Flowin like liquid, so take it to your chin
I break it down, my sounds, so crowds are like deaf
From the west
Put your whole city to the test
It's all in perspective
Breaker one-nine copy
This is for the people gettin caught up in the paparazzi

It's a shame
Youre only in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large
It's a shame
You re only in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Paparazzi

Niggaz smoke stress and cross dress
Xzibit played it back
while your going through schemes and pipe dreams
For a contract
Real tightly rolled, fuck 'em all thats how I feel
I made a cool half mil
Before I had a record deal
There for you look and stare like it's magic
But too much of anything can make you a addict
Whenever its time to static, break out the automatic
I set it off straight, I spread hate, then I vacate, but wait
Who dares to cross this path
Xzibit built to last
Cut slash, make a blood bath
So on behalf of all Players I get drunk with
Smokin blunts with
I dispose of your punk shit
Yes and keep it all in perspective
Carbon copies gettin caught up in the paparazzi
Once again, it's the liquidation crew, and i return for you like this

It's a shame
You re only in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large
It's a shame
You re only in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
