Xzibit - Been A Long Time lyrics
[Saafir as radio host]
Rrrah, uhh, bitch!
It`s radio radio station, cat Xzibit huh?
K-W-Balls, Daniel Thompson hold like this
Like that in fact, with a fat-ass Battlecat track
I`m takin caller number one, that is..
Rrrah uhh, bitch - you took too long
Caller number two like this..
[Xzibit]
{*BZZT*} Bounce up out of the house close to midnight
Full rack up in the back {*BZZ BZZ*} shit is tight
Full charge and I`m out for somethin
Mass production, Battlecat bang percussion
End of discussion, hittin some corners, rearrange thangs
and brang change, we expand California
Listen - I lost more than I can ever gain back
from this road to riches, makin my heart turn black
So I`m cold to bitches, and I never call back
Plus I`m stoned and vicious, lay your whole hood flat
Get your, shit together nigga Big Snoop Dogg told me
`Do music and leave that other shit alone homey`
We came from dust, the X-odus, the hard to touch
Y`all niggaz ain`t fuckin with us, and plus
it ain`t nothin like standin on your own two
So run them streets, but never let `em run you
[Chorus: Nate Dogg]
Time is steady wastin, steady wastin
Since time won`t wait for me, yeah, won`t wait, won`t wait
Just give me a beat that`s bang, give me a beat that`s bangin
I`ll bust `til I`m deceased, yeah, wooo-oooh, ooh-ooh-ooooh
[Xzibit] Tune in, witness the rise of a icon
The python wrap around `til your breath gone
The upper echelon, and I`m the cat you pull a weapon on
and wanna squeeze `til my life is gone?
Back to the wall and trust nobody
Sippin Cognac with Kurupt, Young Gotti
Somebody gotta recognize this
Throw fo` fingers up, add a thumb, then make it a fist
Number one draft pick, lead the league in assists
Give a fuck how you decorate your neck and your wrists
You just settin yourself up for the twist (gimme that) it`s like this
Only a few slide through like the Schindler`s List
Who`s the bitch, who`s the mack, what`s worse
the niggaz that bring in the coke or smoke the crack?
Metaphor figure four let it break your back (yeah)
It`s been a long time, where the gangstas at?
[Chorus]
[Xzibit]
Damn it feels good to be back in the saddle
On top of the game, crackin the frame, the heat of the battle
Been a long time comin but we waited
Xzibit went from bein hated, to makin the whole world say it
Give a fuck if the radio play it
Niggaz fall like the domino effect and you can`t delay it
It ain`t about who you are when you`re makin your stack
It`s the look that`s on your face when you givin it back
So picture that
[Nate Dogg]
Time, keeps on slippin, slippin.. keeps on slippin away.. mm-hmm
My mind keeps on trippin, trippin.. trippin like ev-ery-day.. mm-hmm
[X] Yeah, it`s been a long time
[Chorus]
