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)
