1996, the dysfunctional member, of the Alkaholik family
It`s Xzibit, bring it live, one time, like this

Sometimes I wonder, if it`s all worth my while
Xzibit stay versatile with million dollar lifestyle
And I can feel it as a child growin` up
The ni**az that was real and the ni**az that was scared as f**k

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` s**t
It`s not affecting me or the ni**az that I`m chillin` with

I don`t believe the hype or buy Woof tickets
Ni**a you make a gang of noise and never seen like a cricket
I guess that`s why we never kick it
A lot of ni**az are soft and get tossed tryin` to f**k with the Likwid

How many ni**az do you know like this?
Always claimin` that they`re ridin` but they really turn bitch
It don`t make sense, either you a soldier from the start
Or a actor with a record deal tryin` to play the part, like that

It`s a shame, ni**az in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, extra large
It`s a shame, ni**az in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, Paparazzi

It`s a shame, ni**az in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, extra large
It`s a shame, ni**az in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, Paparazzi

I don`t need no lights, no cameras, just action goddammit
Never no superstar, I`m more like a planet
So my composure is kept while others start to sweat
Emergin` from the fog with my f**ked up dialogue

Tryin` to live high on the hog, leaves you bankrupt
And ni**az you spent it on, would not give a f**k
And that`s deep, how deep? It`s deeper than Atlantis
Home of the scandalous, big bad Los Angeles

Dangerous, vandalous, yo, not to be trusted
So how the f**k is you hard not bein` scarred by the boulevard?
I`m pulling that card and sayin` Gin motherf**ker
Flowin` like liquid, soak it in motherf**ker

I`m breakin` it down, my sound, 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 ni**az gettin` caught up in the Paparazzi

It`s a shame, ni**az in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, extra large
It`s a shame, ni**az in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, Paparazzi

It`s a shame, ni**az in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, extra large
It`s a shame, ni**az in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, Paparazzi

Ni**az smoke stress and cross dress but I just play the back
Others goin` through schemes and pipe dreams for a contract
Real tightly rolled, f**k `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
But too much of anything can make you a addict
When 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 with glass, make a bloodbath
So on behalf of all ni**az, I get drunk with
Smoke a blunts with, I dispose of yo` punk s**t

And keep it all in perspective, carbon copies
Gettin` caught up in the Paparazzi
Once again, it`s the Likwidation Crew
And we return, for you like this

It`s a shame, ni**az in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, extra large
It`s a shame, ni**az in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, Paparazzi

It`s a shame, ni**az in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, extra large
It`s a shame, ni**az in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, Paparazzi

It`s a shame
