Intro
Yo
Listen
Huh
Chorus
I just want to thank you for being around
And patiently waiting and holding me down
It´s easy to see for Mr. X to tha Z
That without no you, there could be no me
I just want to thank you for being a fan
And for watching me grow from a boy to a man
It´s easy to see for Mr. X to tha Z
That without no you, there could be no me
Verse 1
You about to hear some words that you ain´t probably heard
Well all of these rappers pullin´ triggers and flippin´ birds
I know it sound absurd cuz they don´t tell the truth
They prostitutes who f**k and contaminate the youth
But yet I´m guilty of the things I said above
No matter my faults still continue to show me love
Naw I ain´t perfect main but yet I stay the same
I play chess not checkers but this is not a game
And this is not a song and this is not a verse
It´s not conceived, simulated or been rehearsed
Spent the first half of my life thinkin´ that I was cursed
Could have been hit with a hollow follow behind my hertz
That wasn´t meant for me
I spent a decade makin´ it what it supposed to be
Hopefully brought you close to me
All these people approachin´ me
Don´t even know the half
I could be facin´ life
But X is signin´ autographs... damn
Chorus
Verse 2
My son´s eleven now I got to see him grow
Makin´ his free thows the way he laughin´ at the show
Yo he remind me of me when I was ridin´ bikes
He gonna be taller than me, he got my Mother´s height
But yo, you know the difference between me and them others
They say you bug them when I call you my sisters and brothers
I could have missed it all I could have dropped the ball
Mind of Metallica, muthaf**k´em and kill´em all
I used to hustle raw, I used to run the streets
I used to hustle heats, I grinded all my beef
Most of my homies is gone restin´ in peace
Some´ll never see release from custody of police But me?
But naw my little dude get to go to private school
And I can do the things my Father couldn´t afford to do
That´s what it´s supposed to do this is from me to you
Support from you and yours Thank You for gettin´ me thru
Chorus
Verse 3
We buried Proof today, it really broke me up
To see my brother in that casket man, what the f**k?
Media made me angry, I had to soak it up
The future is fragile, never promised to none of us
Hittin´ so close to home, but what I focused on
Is how we lived, the lives he touched, the corner stone,
We never walk alone
Although sometimes it seems
That nightmares go hand in hand with livin´ out dreams
So let me take this time from my struggle, my grind
To let you know that I appreciate you by my side
It´s been a long ride, a lotta long nights
A lotta long flights, worth every sacrifice
A soldier of fortune fearless fightin´ a good fight
I never had a plan B, I never lost sight
That´s why I hit the stage, that´s why I kill the mic
It´s for my fans that´s ridin´ with Xzibit for life
Right!!
Chorus
Outro
Thank you for lettin´ me breathe.. For lettin´ me be who I am...
Two little words... ya´ll never get to hear enough...
Know what I´m sayin´
Yeah dat (laughs)
