Paparazzi Lyrics


1996, the dysfunctional member, of the Alkaholik family
It's Xzibit, bring it live, one time, like thisSometimes 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 niggaz that was real and the niggaz that was scared as fuckThat'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 niggaz that I'm chillin' withI don't believe the hype or buy Woof tickets
Nigga you make a gang of noise and never seen like a cricket
I guess that's why we never kick it
A lot of niggaz are soft and get tossed tryin' to fuck with the LikwidHow many niggaz 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 thatIt'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, PaparazziIt'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, PaparazziI 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 fucked up dialogueTryin' to live high on the hog, leaves you bankrupt
And niggaz 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 AngelesDangerous, vandalous, yo, not to be trusted
So how the fuck is you hard not bein' scarred by the boulevard?
I'm pulling that card and sayin' Gin motherfucker
Flowin' like liquid, soak it in motherfuckerI'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 niggaz gettin' caught up in the PaparazziIt'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, PaparazziIt'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, PaparazziNiggaz smoke stress and cross dress but I just play the back
Others goin' 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 dealTherefore 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 waitWho dares to cross this path? Yo, I do ya like math
Cut with glass, make a bloodbath
So on behalf of all niggaz, I get drunk with
Smoke a blunts with, I dispose of yo' punk shitAnd 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 thisIt'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, PaparazziIt'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, PaparazziIt's a shame

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.

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.
