1983 Remix - Xzibit[00:00:00]
I had to write this in blood because the ink wouldn't stick[00:00:24]
I sold 5 or 6 million but yo that ain't really shit[00:00:27]
It was supposed to be different we were supposed to ride out[00:00:30]
But too much shot his girl then shot himself in the mouth[00:00:32]
Then the steady gang formed but very soon fell apart[00:00:35]
'Cause when you just doin' art with no loyalty in the heart[00:00:38]
It's like catching Alzheimer's all these niggas forgetting where they coming from[00:00:41]
Had to slow it down wait a minute what we running from[00:00:45]
This what we supposed to do here's what we supposed to be[00:00:48]
I hated MTV for tryin' to play me like a mockery[00:00:51]
But that don't bother me I just fulfilled my f**king contract[00:00:53]
Small price to pay just to get your piece of your mind back[00:00:56]
Mind back Backfire assassination of my character[00:00:59]
Just to make some millions off America[00:01:02]
My younger sister Erica just adopted a child[00:01:05]
My older brother served 15 he made it out[00:01:07]
Even though my father loved me I ain't seen him in a while[00:01:10]
Had to fight my baby mama bitch give me my nigga now[00:01:13]
'Cause he's running out of time and I need him to understand[00:01:16]
The way of the superior man I built a brand[00:01:19]
Niggas talk about my taxes I done paid uncle Sam[00:01:21]
I'm surviving 'cause the minds eyes quicker than the hand[00:01:24]
Heartbreak disappointment my mother died when I was 9 I just wanted to join her[00:01:51]
Nah Mister Joiner you get to California[00:01:56]
I got something for you to do it's like I was anointed[00:01:58]
Resurrected foud my purpose I remember meeting Dre[00:02:01]
Being nervous when I would kick my verses[00:02:05]
I was virtually worthless my whole life was a circus[00:02:07]
I was sleeping with serpents and I thought they was worth it[00:02:10]
I got a call from Paul told me shit wasn't working[00:02:13]
Exchanged words I told him tell me that shit in person[00:02:15]
He probably told EM and by the way that he said it[00:02:18]
Unapologetic twisted made it about him[00:02:21]
I seen Slim and he said he didn't recognize me[00:02:24]
Was it that or did he let another man define me[00:02:27]
I don't know but now I gotta get this all behind me[00:02:30]
Follow my calling when I used to follow niggas blindly[00:02:33]
I wish I had a better relationship with my uncles[00:02:47]
Blood relatives I could turn to when I'm feeling trouble[00:02:49]
Talk about my struggles my uncle John Nail[00:02:52]
He only put me on the phone with different females[00:02:55]
Yeah this is such a such nephew tell her what's up[00:02:58]
Ain't even ask about Tremayne and Gatlyn growing up[00:03:01]
F**k I drink it all and I smashed a bottle[00:03:03]
Self medicated numb but I'm a feel it tomorrow[00:03:06]
It felt like pain and sorrow was like a second skin[00:03:09]
But now the pain is gone I got my second wind[00:03:12]
Only the strong live long you better settle in[00:03:15]
I'm fighting forever I will never let the devil win[00:03:17]
1983 that's when my journey begins[00:03:21]
I searched everywhere for strength and only found it within[00:03:23]
This for me and my kin still dying to live[00:03:26]
Living life to the fullest till I see you again[00:03:29]
