Paparazzi

1996, the Disfunctional member of the Alkohaliks family
It's XZIBIT, bring it live, one time, like this

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 fuck

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 trigger talk, you ain't killin shit
It's not affecting me or the niggas that I'm chillin' with

I don't believe the hype or buy a Woof ticket
Nigga you make a gang of noise and never seem like a cricket
I guess that's why we never kick it
A lot of niggas are soft and get tossed tryin' to fuck with the liquid

How many niggas do you know like this?
Always claimin' that they're riding but they really turn bitch
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 that

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

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

I don't need no lights, no cameras
Just action goddamnit
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 fucked up dialogue

Try to live high on the hog leaves you bankrupt
And niggas you spent it on would not give a fuck
And 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 fuck is you hard
Not being scarred by the boulevard
I'm pulling that card and sayin', "Gin motherfucker"
Flowin' like liquid, soak it in motherfucker

I'm breakin' it down, my sounds surrounds like deaf
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

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

Niggas smoke stress and cross dress
But I just play the back
Others going through schemes and pipe dreams
For a contract
Real tightly rolled, fuck 'em all how I feel
I made a cool half mill' before I had a record deal

Therefore 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 dares to cross this path, yo?
I do you like math, cut with glass, make a bloodbath
So on behalf of all the niggas I get drunk with
Smoking blunts with, I dispose of your punk shit

Keep it all in perspective
Carbon copies gettin' caught up in the paparazzi
Once again it's the liquidation crew
And we return for you like this

It's a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
