Yes, 1996 marches the beginning of a new era
The disfunctional member of the alkohaliks family
It’s xzibit
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 brothas that was real and the brothas that was scared to butt
It's why xzibit only roll with a chosen few
You ain't really real I can tell when I look at chu
So ease off the trigga talk you ain’t killin it
It’s not affecting me or the click that I'm chillin 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
lot of rappers is soft and get tossed tryin [bad word] wit the liquid
How many rappers do you know like this?
Always claimin that they’re riding but they really ain't shh...
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

(2x)
It’s a shame
You wanna hit the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large (extra large)
It’s a shame
You wanna win the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Paparazzi

I don’t need no lights no cameras, all I got is action
Never no superstar set up for Michael Jackson
So [bad word] is kept while others start to sweat
Emerging from the fog with my affed up dialogue
Try to live high on the hog leaves you [bad word] And niggas you spent it on, would not give a... (What?)
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 [bad word] Purple train like you hard
Not being scared by the boulevard
I'm pullin that card and sayin gin as I begin
Flowin like liquid so take it to your chin
I'm breakin it down my sounds surrounds like death
From the west
Puttin whole counties to the test
It’s all in perspective
Breaker one-nine copy
This is for the people gettin caught up in the paparazzi

(2x)
It’s a shame
You wanna hit the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large (extra large)
It’s a shame
You wanna win the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Paparazzi

You can smoke stress and cross dress Xzibit play the back
Why you going through schemes and pipe dreams for a contract
Real tightly rolled buck ’em all how I feel
Made a cool half mil before I had a record deal
Therefore you look and stare like it’s magic
But too much of anything can make you a addict
Whenever devils be startin 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 billed ot last
Cut slash, make a bloodbath
So on behalf all brother-players I get [bad word] with
Smokin blunts with
I dispose of your punk...
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 wanna hit the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large (extra large)
It’s a shame
You wanna win the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
