Paparazzi Lyrics

Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth my while
Xzibit stay versatile with million dollar lifestyle
And I can feel it as a child growing up
The niggas that was real and the niggas that was scared as fuck
It'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 killing shit
It's not affecting me or the niggas that I'm chilling with
I 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 niggas is soft and get tossed trying to fuck with the Likwit
How many niggas do you know like this?
Always claiming that they're riding but they really turn bitch
It don't make sense
Either you're a soldier from the start
Or an actor with a record deal trying to play a part
Like that

It's a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large
It's a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Paparazzi
It's a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large
It's a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Paparazzi

I don't need no lights no cameras
Just action, god damn it
Never no superstar, I'm more like a planet
So my composure is kept while others start to sweat
Emerging from the fog with my fucked up dialogue
Trying to live high on the hog leaves you bankrupt
And niggas you spent it on would not give a fuck
Now that's deep, how deep? It's deeper than Atlantis
Home of the scandalous: big bad Los Angeles
Dangerous, vandalous
Yo, not to be trusted
Now how the fuck is you hard
Not being scatred by the boulevard
I'm pulling that card and saying "gin muthafucka"
Flowing like liquid: soak it in, muthafucka
I'm breaking it down, my sounds surrounds like death
From the West, putting whole counties to the test
It's all in perspective
Breaker 1-9 copy
This is for the niggas getting caught up in the paparazzi

It's a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large
It's a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Paparazzi
It's a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large
It's a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Paparazzi

Niggas smoke stress and cross dress but I just play the back
Others going through schemes and pipe dreams for a contract
Real tightly rolled fuck 'em all how I feel
I made a cool half mil before I had a record deal
Therefore you look and stare like it's magic
But too much of anything can make you a addict
Whenever devils be starting static, break out the automatic
I set it off straight I spread hate
Then I vacate, but wait
Who dares to cross this path? Yo, I do you like math
Cut ya with glass make a bloodbath
So on behalf of all niggas I get drunk with
Smoking blunts with
I dispose of your punk shit
And keep it all in perspective
Carbon copies getting caught up in the paparazzi
Once again, it's the Likwidation crew, and we return for you, like this

It's a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large
It's a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Paparazzi
It's a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Extra large
It's a shame
Niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame
Paparazzi
