Highest Form Of Understanding Lyrics


First night I spent in California
I was homeless in a Venice beach
It was all a dream
came to California at seventeen
little nigga tryna bubble up from the crack scene
it got so complicated, then I graduated
haters so mad I made it
how could I fly so high only to feel so low
how do they live so fast only to grow so slow
like when you short no support for your kids
but got money for marijauna just to smoke with your friends
or that woman who survives and beats cancer
only to be drowned in debt with no answers
the frequency of tragedy it happens so rapidly
that we became numb, we embraced this insanity
some wack job hauled off and smoke his whole family
reality TV thats not based in reality
stuck watching train wrecks everybody going for self

self worth prison point but for money and wealth
this mentality of me, fuck everything else
its a virus, a disease Im a victim myself
but I swear before I leave Ima fix it I swear
Ima fix it I swear
yo you better bewareRich boy kill his own wife knocks her teeth out
cuts her fingers off than escape with a suicide
the king of pop died, Michael Vick was fighting dogs
but he walked and did his time let him throw the fucking ballAs the markers keep crashing and people get desperate
putting faith in the false feeling so disrespected
turn to this record the highest form of understanding
understand me, fight a flight for your family (come)
walk with a soldier (come)
talk with a soldier
centerblocks stop shooting straight from the shoulder
as we all get older and hope falls over
and damn you was 6 years sober
and just like that now you back were you started square one
and you cant bring it back when that bullet leave the gun
as the planet get smaller, prepare for the North American Union
an anvil to replace your dollars
narcisistic society love paparazzi
get the starbucks for your overpriced latte
ignoring all the signs, nevermind is your mindstate
until the end of time, shit is closer than you think man.[Trick Trick:]
Ive done been in situations where the only thing that I can do is read the Bible
went to the [?] where a piece of metal the only way of survival
made up my mind that I dont ever want to return
chance was given again now Im back out in the World
made a promise to God but living in sin
I can never lie to God but its so hard to live right
Im carrying 7 point 62s to fist fights
aint nobody playing fair they cheat no cheat
way finna be the topic for the preachers Eulogy speaking
the word say "turn the other cheek" thats what they teach us
but Peter sliced the ear off a nigga rollin on Jesus
I dont wanna pause Im doing what Im supposed to do
Im a real nigga one from a million chosen few
everlasting pain has got my brain like its trapped inside a maze
have you been unfaithful to the game (damn shame)
18 years you never beleived him thats yo son
go and see him muthafucker
you fucked his mother
the God Damn common courtesy never applied to you
cause you thought she lied to you
you couldnt see your own mother in his face
if you die hell be in a better place
bring the tape back

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.
