Der Songtext "Paparazzi" von Xzibit handelt von der Oberflächlichkeit und Gier einiger Menschen in der Rap-Industrie. Xz...

1996, the dysfunctional member of the Alkaholiks family
It′s Xzibit, bring it live, one time, like this

Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth my while
Xzibit stay versitile, with million dollar lifestyle
And I could feel it as a child growin′ up
The niggas that was real and the niggas that was scared as fuck
That's why Xzibit only roll with a chosen few
You ain't really real, I can tell when I look at you
So ease off the trigger talk, you ain′t killin′ shit
It's not affecting me or the niggas that I′m chillin' with

I don′t believe the hype or buy a Woof tickets
Nigga you make a gang of noise and never sing like a cricket
I guess that's why we never kick it
A lot of niggas are soft and get tossed tryin′ to fuck with the liquid
How many niggas do you know like this?
Always claimin' that they're riding but they really turn bitch
It don′t make sense, either you′re a soldier from the start
Or an actor with a record deal tryin' to play the part, like that

It′s a shame, niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, extra large (extra large)
It's a shame, niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, paparazzi

It′s a shame, niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, extra large (extra large)
It's a shame, niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, paparazzi

I don′t need no lights, no cameras
Just action god dammit
Never no superstar, I'm more like a planet
So my composure is kept while others start to sweat
Emergin' from the fog with my fucked up dialogue
Try to live high on the hog leaves you bankrupt
But niggas you spent it on, would not give a fuck
And that′s deep, how deep? It′s deeper than Atlantis
Home of the scandalous, big bad Los Angeles

Dangerous, vandelous, yo, not to be trusted
So how the fuck is you hard?
Not being scared by the boulevard
I'm pulling that card and sayin′ Gin motherfucker
Flowin' like liquid, soak it in motherfucker
I′m breakin' it down, my sound surrounds like death
From the West, puttin′ whole counties to the test
It's all in perspective, break a one-nine copy
This is for the niggas gettin' caught up in the paparazzi

It′s a shame, niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, extra large (extra large)
It′s a shame, niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, paparazzi

It's a shame, niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, extra large (extra large)
It′s a shame, niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, paparazzi

Niggas smoke stress and cross dress
But I just played it back
Others going through schemes and pipe dreams for a contract
Real tightly rolled, fuck 'em all how I feel
I made a cool half mill′ before I had a record deal
Therefore you look and stare like it's magic
But too much of anything can make you a addict
When devils be startin′ static, bring out the automatic
I set it off straight, I spread hate, then I vacate

But wait, who dare to cross this path?
Yo, I'll do ya like math, cut with glass, make a bloodbath
So on behalf of all niggas I get drunk with
Smokin' blunts with, I dispose of your punk shit
And keep it all in perspective
Carbon copies gettin′ caught up in the paparazzi
Once again, it′s the liquidation crew
And we return for you, like this

It's a shame, niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, extra large (extra large)
It′s a shame, niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, paparazzi

It's a shame, niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, extra large (extra large)
It′s a shame, niggas in the rap game
Only for the money and the fame, paparazzi
It's a shame
