thank you

Thank You -Xzibit
Yo listen huh
I just wanna thank you for bein around
And patiently waitin and holdin me down
Its easy to see for Mr X to the Z
That without no you there could be no me
I just wanna thank you for bein a fan
And watchin me grow from a boy to a man
Its easy to see for Mr X to the Z
That without no you there could be no me
You bout to hear some words that you aint probably heard
With all of these rappers pullin triggers and flippin birds
I know it sound absurd cause they dont tell the truth
They prostitutes f**kin contaminate the youth
But yet Im guilty of the things I said above
No matter my faults still continue to show me love
Naw I aint perfect mayne 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
Its not conceived or 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 hearse
That wasnt meant for me I spent a decade
Makin it what its sposed to be hopefully brought you close to me
All these people approachin me dont even know the half
I could be facin life but X is signin autographs damn
I just wanna thank you for bein around
And patiently waitin and holdin me down
Its easy to see for Mr X to the Z
That without no you there could be no me
I just wanna thank you for bein a fan
And watchin me grow from a boy to a man
Its easy tosee for Mr X to the Z
That without no you there could be no me
My sons 11now I got to see him grow
Makin his free throws the way he laughin at the show
Yo he remind me of me when I was ridin bikes
He gonbe taller than me he got my mothers height
But yo you know the difference between me and them others
They say you buggin when I call you my sisters and brothers
I coulda missed it all I coulda dropped the ball
Mind of Metallica motherf**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
Somell never see release from custody of police but me
But nah my little dude get to go to private school
And I can do the things my father couldnt afford to do
Thats what its sposed to do this is from me to you
Support from you and yours thank you for gettin me through true
I just wanna thank you for bein around
And patiently waitin and holdin me down
Its easy to see for Mr X to the Z
That without no you there could be no me
I just wanna thank you for bein a fan
And watchin me grow from a boy to a man
Its easy to see for Mr X to the Z
That without no you there could be no me
We buried Proof today it really broke me up
To see my brother in that casket maaan 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 he lived thelives he touched the cornerstone
We never walk alone although sometime it seems
That nightmares go hand in hand with livinout dreams
So let me take this time from my struggle my grind
To let you know that I appreciate you by my side
Its been a long ride a lot of long nights
A lot of long flights worth every sacrifice
A soldier of fortune fearless fightin the good fight
I never had a plan B I never lost sight
Thats why I hit the stage thats why I kill the mic
Its for my fans thats ridin with Xzibit for life RIGHT
I just wanna thank you for bein around
And patiently waitin and holdin me down
Its easy to see for Mr X to the Z
That without no you there could be no me
I just wanna thank you for bein a fan
And watchin me grow from a boy to a man
Its easy to see for Mr X to the Z
That without no you there could be no me
Thank you for lettin me breathe
For lettin me be who I am huh yeah huh
Two little words yall never get to hear enough
Knahmsayin Yeah that hehe
Yes the return
Uh-huh breathe
