Criminal Set Lyrics


Outside the South Central area
Few cared about the violence
Because it didn't affect them(Break 'em off somethin')
Back to the criminal set
But they can't catch me yet
Don't trip you might break your neck
(Break 'em off somethin')
And get wet from the reign of the tec, I
(Break 'em off somethin')
Back to the criminal set
But they can't catch me yet
Your gum bumpin' gon' lead to gun bumpin'
(Break 'em off somethin')
I'm the one when the party is jumpin' up
(Break 'em off somethin')I heard the O.G.'s they don't hit
And I'm the only one left from the West that you can't fuck with
But lately I've been feelin' like Will Smith
Why bother with rap when I can get 20 mill' on a flick?

Y'all niggaz just started some shit, the underdog
Makin' songs for them hogs and them Bloods and Crips
When a Shah by the mall with a Muslim scent
After all, who do you call to rok your shit?
(Break 'em off somethin')Bust the ghetto bird, circle above, reminisce
Of the dust kicked up, the dirt swept under the rug
Duct tape, ski-mask, tape recorders
Cue Kaze, razor blades and bakin' soda
First learned how to cook in a coffee pot
Made the block get hot like lava rock
Got love for the block 'cause I came from that
But I ain't afraid to go right back(Break 'em off somethin')
Back to the criminal set
But they can't catch me yet
Don't trip you might break your neck
(Break 'em off somethin')
And get wet from the reign of the tec, I
(Break 'em off somethin')
Back to the criminal set
But they can't catch me yet
Your gum bumpin' gon' lead to gun bumpin'
(Break 'em off somethin')
I'm the one when the party is jumpin' up
(Break 'em off somethin')It's a suicide, it's a suicide
If you ever get the heart to try fuckin' with mines
No change, I'm poppin' the nine, you ridin' the pine
(Break 'em off somethin')
The heavy metal knock you out of your mind
(Break 'em off somethin')
Now how many really gon' ride when the war start?
Eaten alive by these hollow tip darts
My 12 gauge'll tear you apart, don't get caught at the light
The house party or the neighborhood parkMr. X marks the spot then pops the mark
Turn your whole neighborhood to a parkin' lot
I paid the cost to be the boss
And will do my time standin' up 'til I get an appeal
These weapons too real to conceal so why bother
Semper fidelis, I learned from my father
I always stay faithful to myself and grow
But when I catch that ass after the show(Break 'em off somethin')
Back to the criminal set
But they can't catch me yet
Don't trip you might break your neck
(Break 'em off somethin')
And get wet from the reign of the tec, I
(Break 'em off somethin')
Back to the criminal set
But they can't catch me yet
Your gum bumpin' gon' lead to gun bumpin'
(Break 'em off somethin')
I'm the one when the party is jumpin' up
(Break 'em off somethin')I'm slick and slippery
On a high speed chase all the way to the victory
Y'all niggaz is stone cold mysteries
Too weak, can't stand in the ring with me
Put a pussy back in his place
Straitlaced with a Strong Arm Steady gang up in your face
I run a race with the West to my back
While you're the reason why they say niggaz in the West can't rapEver since the white Concourse 'Llac, I've been unmatched
A avalanche in the hood on attack
Just hardcore actual facts, never wait
Just react when them killers come at you with gats
Had to dig the knife out of my back, now I'm back on track
Hittin laps, 'bout to widen the gap yo
It ain't the long fall from the top that got 'em
It was the sharp sudden stop at the bottom, haha(Break 'em off somethin')
Back to the criminal set
But they can't catch me yet
Don't trip you might break your neck
(Break 'em off somethin')
And get wet from the reign of the tec, I
(Break 'em off somethin')
Back to the criminal set
But they can't catch me yet
Your gum bumpin' gon' lead to gun bumpin'
(Break 'em off somethin')
I'm the one when the party is jumpin' up
(Break 'em off somethin')

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Alvin Nathaniel Joiner (born September 18, 1974 in Detroit, Michigan), better known by his stage name Xzibit, is an American rapper, actor, and host of MTV's Pimp My Ride. He began his music career as a member of the Likwit Crew, a loose collective of West Coast rappers including King Tee, Defari, and Tha Alkaholiks. He released his solo debut album 'At The Speed Of Life' in 1996 and has since released 5 more albums, his latest being Full Circle, released in 2006. His new album Napalm is expected to be released sometime in 2012.

Born in Detroit, Michigan, Joiner moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, with his father when he was ten years old (his mother had passed away when he was nine years old). Around this time, as he did not have any entertainment, he began writing poems. Around the age of 13, he started getting into trouble with the local police. By the time he was 14, he served a short stint in juvenile detention. Finally around 17 years old he had been expelled from several Albuquerque high schools for allegedly raping his guidance counselers. At that point, he moved with $3,000 to Los Angeles, California in his purple and black Geo Tracker to pursue his dream.

Xzibit got his start as a member of the Likwit Crew a loose collective of West Coast rappers including Tha Alkaholiks and King T. After touring with them in 1995, Loud Records released the feisty young rapper's debut album, At The Speed Of Life (1996). The album, produced by DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill and Diamond D, became an underground hit. When Xzibit released his follow-up, 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz (1998), he was again heralded as one of the West Coast's most promising talents.

He expanded his following with a series of increasingly superstar-laced albums beginning in the late 1990s, ultimately aligning himself with hip hop kingpin Dr. Dre. Xzibit's big breakthrough came when he joined Snoop Dogg for the Dr. Dre-produced hit, "Bitch Please". What followed were some high profile guest appearances on Dr. Dre's multi-platinum Chronic 2001, on songs like "What's the difference?" and the posse song "Some L.A. Niggaz". By this time, Dre had invited the young rapper to crisscross America during summer 2000 with the massive "Up in Smoke" tour, which featured Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Ice Cube, among many others. That winter, Loud released Xzibit's biggest-budget album yet, Restless with Dr. Dre as executive producer, which boasted the single "X". The song became the rapper's biggest hit yet, and though it did not top the charts or break him into heavy rotation on either urban radio or MTV, the album went platinum.

Two years later, Xzibit returned with another big-budget superstar-laced album, Man Vs. Machine, yet again he fell a bit short of mainstream success. He continued to collaborate with his closest West Coast colleagues, primarily Ras Kass and Saafir with whom he formed The Golden State Project rap collective [1], and tha Liks, along with bigger names like Snoop Doggand Eminem. His allegiance to the West Coast and former colleagues continued to win him much respect from his fans, who remained dedicated if not massive in number. Weapons of Mass Destruction followed two years later.

Xzibit will be promoting his 6th solo album, Full Circle, released in October 2006.

To kick off the Back II Basics tour Xzibit will take part in the Gumball 3000 Rally - a 5000km (3000mile) car rally that winds its way throughout Europe.

The rapper has found a broader audience since landing his role on MTV's "Pimp My Ride," which films custom auto makeovers awarded to random winners. He recently recorded an episode of Pimp My Ride with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on an Earth Day special to promote the importance of global warming.
