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 niggas that was real and the niggas that was scared as [bad word] 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 [bad word] It’s not affecting me or the niggas that I'm chillin with
I don’t believe the hype or buy woof tickets [bad word] you make a gang of noise and never seem like a cricket
I guess that’s why we never kick it
lot of niggas is soft and get tossed tryin to [bad word] wit the liquid
How many niggas do you know like this?
Always claimin that they’re riding but they really turn [bad word] 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
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large (extra large)
It’s a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Paparazzi

See, I don’t need no lights no cameras ,just action god dammit
Never no superstar I'm more like a planet
So [bad word] is kept while others start to sweat
Emerging from the fog with my [bad word] up dialogue
Try to live high on the hog leaves you [bad word] And niggas you spent it on, would not give a [bad word] 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] Now how the [bad word] is you hard
Not being scared by the boulevard
I'm pullin that card and sayin gin [bad word] Flowin like liquid soak it in [bad word] 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 niggas gettin caught up in the paparazzi

It’s a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large (extra large)
It’s a shame

Niggaz smoke stress and cross dress but I just play the back
Others going through schemes and pipe dreams for a contract
Real tightly rolled [bad word] ’em all how I feel
I made a cool half mil before I had a record deal
Therefor 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 yo I do ya like math
Cut ya with glass make a bloodbath
So on behalf of all niggas I get [bad word] with
Smokin blunts with
I dispose of your punk [bad word] Heh heh 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
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large (extra large)
It’s a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
