Back 2 The Way It Was (Xplicit Album Version) - Xzibit[00:00:00]
Yeah yo c'mon[00:00:06]
Ride wit me lemme take you somewhere[00:00:14]
[Xzibit[00:00:18]
My father was a soldier my mother was a rider[00:00:19]
I was born wit my fists balled up I'ma fighter[00:00:21]
Inspired a real rhyme writer[00:00:24]
Get past the past the future looks brighter[00:00:27]
But I wanna get it back to the way it was[00:00:29]
Exchange blows elbows and it was still love[00:00:33]
A better time better place in space[00:00:35]
Cause nothin can erase shame tat' like my ni**a Chase[00:00:38]
Cause Bigga B will never be replaced right[00:00:41]
And I'ma scream it to the whole f**kin human race[00:00:44]
Get a bar get a taste[00:00:46]
Enforce the muscle to ya hustle and ya did it with grace[00:00:48]
Cause real niggaz don't save face they make movements[00:00:51]
Back to the time when hip-hop was music[00:00:55]
When N W A got booed at the Apollo[00:00:57]
Broke "Straight Outta Compton" and the whole world followed[00:01:00]
Cause right now hip-hop is hollow[00:01:04]
With no substance X-Man with the roughness[00:01:06]
Cause success can suck sometime[00:01:09]
And many of us the way we act we even lost our minds[00:01:11]
You can hold your breath 'til your blue in the face[00:01:14]
But you can never ever take my place[00:01:18]
I stay strong whether right or I'm wrong[00:01:20]
Through the struggle I will live on (now sing the song wit me)[00:01:22]
You can speculate on every breath I take[00:01:25]
But you can never ever take my place[00:01:29]
I stay strong whether right or I'm wrong[00:01:31]
Through the struggle I will live on[00:01:33]
[Xzibit[00:01:36]
Back to the day when +Cooley+ was +High+[00:01:37]
Hustle big like Butch in the Y-B-I[00:01:39]
We did it 'n died the gang still multiplied[00:01:41]
Sock yo windpipe cut yo air supply[00:01:44]
Hypnotized not by the glitz 'n glamour[00:01:47]
So f**k them cameras all I need is clips and hammers[00:01:50]
The X-Man said that the first rhyme out[00:01:53]
Were my fans worth my time The first line out so[00:01:56]
Here we are eight years strong and still movin[00:01:59]
Groovin with a reputation ya can't ruin[00:02:01]
I wanna take it back how it used to be[00:02:04]
Five thousand f**ked up rockin outta unity[00:02:07]
You can hold your breath 'til your blue in the face[00:02:10]
But you can never ever take my place[00:02:14]
I stay strong whether right or I'm wrong[00:02:16]
Through the struggle I will live on (now sing the song wit me)[00:02:18]
You can speculate on every breath I take[00:02:21]
But you can never ever take my place[00:02:24]
I stay strong whether right or I'm wrong[00:02:27]
Through the struggle I will live on[00:02:29]
[Xzibit[00:02:31]
Was it the alcohol in you the money the power the fame[00:02:32]
That made you actually attempt to try to disgrace my name [00:02:35]
Played those games ni**a when I was younger in life[00:02:37]
'Til I seen another man's life cut short with a knife[00:02:40]
Lose teeth cause beef no peace with us[00:02:43]
Ya can't hang and ya sho' can't eat with us[00:02:46]
When times get tough the tough get rough and drastic[00:02:48]
Never been blasted never been an arrogant bastard[00:02:51]
But I coulda been a lawyer I shoulda been a doctor[00:02:54]
I never been a actor I'm nothin but a monster[00:02:57]
I move in silence speak with violence[00:03:00]
Think with science live free and walk with lions[00:03:02]
Cats around me with gats like Yasser Arafat[00:03:05]
It takes a nation of millions to hold me back[00:03:08]
Pounds of cush to push what I'm talkin about[00:03:11]
It's hard to talk the talk with a gauge in yo mouth[00:03:13]
It's hard to walk the walk with ya back blew out[00:03:16]
Don't let the things that you can't change stress you out[00:03:19]
Cause X take the money and run and raise a man from a son[00:03:22]
And change the world with the power of one c'mon[00:03:25]
You can hold your breath 'til your blue in the face[00:03:28]
But you can never ever take my place[00:03:31]
I stay strong whether right or I'm wrong[00:03:34]
Through the struggle I will live on (now sing the song wit me)[00:03:36]
You can speculate on every breath I take[00:03:39]
But you can never ever take my place[00:03:43]
I stay strong whether right or I'm wrong[00:03:45]
Through the struggle I will live on[00:03:47]
