[Intro]

1996, the Disfunctional member of the Alkohaliks family

It's XZIBIT, Bring it live, one time, like this

[Verse One]


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 ^!$$%z that were real and the ^!$$%z that were scared as $#&@

that's 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 %#@!

it's not affecting me or the ^!$$%z that I'm chillin with
I don't believe the hype or buy a Woof ticket
^!$$% you make a gang of noise and never seem like a cricket

I guess that's why we never kick it
a lot of ^!$$%z are soft and get tossed tryin to $#&@ with the liquid
How many ^!$$%z do you know like this?

Also claimin that they're riding but they really turn (*##$
It don't make sense
Either you're a soldier from the start

or an actor with a record deal tryin to play the part
like dat


[Chorus:]

It's a shame

^!$$%z in the rap game
only for the money and the fame
EXTRA LARGE

It's a shame
^!$$%z in the rap game
only for the money and the fame

Paparazzi [2x]

[Verse Two]


I don't need no lights no cameras
just action god dammit

never no superstar
I'm more like a planet
so my composure is kept while others start to sweat

A merchant from the fog with my $#&@ed up dialogue
try to live high on the hog leaves you bankrupt
and ^!$$%z you spent it on, would not give a $#&@

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
so how the $#&@ is you hard

not being scared by the boulevard
I'm pulling that card and sayin Gin mutha$#&@ar
flowin like liquid, soak it in mutha$#&@ar

I'm breakin it down, my sounds, so crowds are like deaf
from the West
puttin whole counties to the test

it's all in perspective
Breaker one-nine copy
this is for the ^!$$%z gettin caught up in the Paparazzi


[Chorus]


[Verse Three]

^!$$%z smoke stress and cross dress

but I just play the back
others going through schemes and pipe dreams
for a contract

real tightly rolled, $#&@ 'em all 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
too much of anything can make you an addict
when devils be startin static, forgot the automatic
I set it off straight, I spread hate, then I vacate, but wait
who dare to cross this path

yo, I do ya like math
cut with glass, make a blood bath
so on behalf of all ^!$$%z I get drunk with
smoke a lot of blunts with
I dispose of your punk %#@!

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


[Chorus]
