Lyrics

0:00Enemies & Friends - Xzibit
0:051996 dysfunctional member
0:07Of the Alkaholik family yo
0:11Rule Number One
0:11Always be aware of your surroundings
0:12And peep all exits
0:14Stay and move to the next sh*t
0:16Rule Number Two
0:17Love no one that don't love you
0:18And if the sh*t come down
0:20Then you know your way around
0:21Rule Number Three
0:22Realize it ain't about size
0:23Or havin' gats and guns
0:24Because it only takes one
0:26Handle your business
0:27Don't let your business handle you
0:29It's a lot of motherf**kers tryin' to do
0:31What you're doin' right here right now
0:32Same color same style
0:34Tryin' to claim worldwide
0:35And ain't traveled but one mile
0:37In these shoes I paid dues
0:39With nothin' to lose
0:40Live by the rhyme
0:41But I'ma die by the booze
0:42Xzibit breakin' down niggas
0:43Who got somethin' to prove
0:45Here we are face to face
0:46Ni**a make your move
0:47You're in the wrong place
0:48But at the right situation
0:49Cause i was waitin
0:51Hotter than Satan never perpetratin
0:53Chorus:
0:53I treat my enemies like friends
0:55So I can reach out and touch
0:56Leave'em in the dust at the very end
0:58You now tuned in to Hennessy and Gin
1:01Ice cold Heinekens and down for whatever skins
1:03Animosity you can reach out and touch
1:05Heavy right handed
1:07Teeth grind like a clutch
1:08And plus you ain't never had this much
1:11Too many friends too close
1:12You might collapse from an overdose
1:13I was raised to never follow after no man
1:16To be my own man
1:17So I can die by my own hand
1:19And never knowin' what the next day can bring
1:21So I gotta make the ends
1:23Justify the means
1:24Yo I'm on the scene here to do my own thing
1:27Can't never spend a lifetime
1:28Chasin' after dreams
1:29I got the right sh*t
1:31For all the wrong reasons
1:32As long as I breathin'
1:33Niggas change like seasons
1:35Never trust a man
1:36Who can't look you in your eyes
1:37Only the strong survive
1:38And that's word to the wise
1:40Yo when dead bodies get outlined in chalk
1:42Everybody should walk
1:42Cause real killers don't talk
1:44I ain't really concerned
1:44How many bridges you burned
1:46I extinguish your flame
1:47And take aim at your brain
1:50Givin' ligament pain
1:50To have you walkin' with a cane
1:53Wantin' money and fame
1:54You got your f**kin' self to blame
1:56And that's West Coast rhyme
1:57Without no gimmicks
1:58Here come Xzibit to break it down
2:00Like a chemic
2:01I'm spreadin' like an epidemic
2:02And all good things come to an end
2:05Enemies & Friends
2:07Chorus
2:28I don't give a f**k
2:29About the set you claim
2:30Xzibit easily dispersed like crack coc*ine
2:31See I lent my shotgun to Kurt Cobain
2:35And the motherf**ker never brought it back
2:37Ahh that's wack
2:38As a matter of fact
2:40This one ni**a tried to jack
2:41My squad had his a**
2:42On the run like track
2:43Never knowin' who to trust
2:44In this sh*t called rap
2:46Here to let you know
2:47My sound surrounds like dat
2:48Never half step
2:49Or play the role like DeNiro
2:51Y'all niggas wasn't down
2:52When we had less than zero
2:54F**k tryin' to be a hero
2:55Tryin' to save some b**ch
2:56Mr X to the Z
2:57Never play that sh*t
2:59Chorus
3:21Yes 1996 yes
3:25Bringin' it live from the Westside
3:27This is X to the Z
3:31These niggas don't know
3:35These niggas ain't ready
3:37Yo Mr X to the Z
