1996, dysfunctional member
Of the Alkaholik family, yo


Rule Number One
Always be aware of your surroundings
And peep all exits

Stay and move to the next %#@!
Rule Number Two
Love no one that don't love you

And if the %#@! come down
Then you know your way around
Rule Number Three

Realize it ain't about size
Or havin' gats and guns
Because it only takes one

Handle your business
Don't let your business handle you
It's a lot of mother$#&@ers tryin' to do

What you're doin' right here, right now
Same color, same style
Tryin' to claim worldwide

And ain't traveled but one mile
In these shoes, I paid dues
With nothin' to lose

Live by the rhyme
But I'ma die by the booze
Xzibit breakin' down ^!$$%s

Who got somethin' to prove
Here we are face to face
^!$$% make your move

You're in the wrong place
But at the right situation
Cause i was waitin

Hotter than Satan, never perpetratin

[Chorus:]


I treat my enemies like friends
So I can reach out and touch

Leave'em in the dust at the very end
You now tuned in to Hennessy and Gin
Ice cold Heinekens and down for whatever skins

Animosity you can reach out and touch
Heavy right handed
Teeth grind like a clutch

And plus you ain't never had this much
Too many friends too close
You might collapse from an overdose


I was raised to never follow after no man
To be my own man

So I can die by my own hand
And never knowin' what the next day can bring
So I gotta make the ends

Justify the means
Yo, I'm on the scene, here to do my own thing
Can't never spend a lifetime

Chasin' after dreams
I got the right %#@!
For all the wrong reasons

As long as I breathin'
^!$$%s change like seasons
Never trust a man

Who can't look you in your eyes
Only the strong survive
And that's word to the wise

Yo, when dead bodies get outlined in chalk
Everybody should walk
Cause real killers don't talk

I ain't really concerned
How many bridges you burned
I extinguish your flame

And take aim at your brain
Givin' ligament pain
To have you walkin' with a cane

Wantin' money and fame
You got your $#&@in' self to blame
And that's West Coast rhyme
Without no gimmicks
Here come Xzibit to break it down

Like a chemic
I'm spreadin' like an epidemic
And all good things come to an end
Enemies & Friends


[Chorus]

I don't give a $#&@
About the set you claim
Xzibit easily dispersed like crack cocaine

See I lent my shotgun to Kurt Cobain
And the mother$#&@er never brought it back
Ahh, that's wack
As a matter of fact
This one ^!$$% tried to jack

My squad had his $$#
On the run like track
Never knowin' who to trust
In this %#@! called rap
Here to let you know
My sound surrounds like dat

Never half step
Or play the role like DeNiro
Y'all ^!$$%s wasn't down
When we had less than zero
$#&@ tryin' to be a hero
Tryin' to save some (*##$
Mr. X to the Z

Never play that %#@!

[Chorus]

Yes, 1996, yes
Bringin' it live from the Westside
This is X to the Z

These ^!$$%s don't know
These ^!$$%s ain't ready
Yo, Mr. X to the Z
