Paparazzi

1996, the disfunctional member of the alkohaliks family

It's xzibit, bring it live, one time, like thi

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 niggaz that were real and the niggaz that were 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 trigga talk, you ain't killin shit

It's not affecting me or the niggaz 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 niggaz are soft and get tossed tryin to f**k with the

Liquid

How many niggaz do you know like this?

Also 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 dat

[chorus:]

It's a shame

Niggaz in the rap game

Only for the money and the fame

Extra large

It's a shame

Niggaz in the rap game

Only for the money and the fame

Paparazzi [2x]

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 f**ked up dialogue

Try to live high on the hog leaves you bankrupt

And niggaz you spent it on, would not give a f**k

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 f**k is you hard

Not being scared by the boulevard

I'm pulling that card and sayin gin muthaf**kar

Flowin like liquid, soak it in muthaf**kar

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 niggaz gettin caught up in the paparazzi

[chorus]

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, f**k '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 niggaz i get drunk with

Smoke a lot of blunts with

I dispose of your punk shit

Keep it all in perspective

Carbon copies gettin caught up in the paparazzi

[chorus]
