Xzibit - Heart Of Man Lyrics
[Xzibit]
Ain't a damn thing promised to ya
Except livin your life, and dyin one day, I'm just bein honest to ya
It take a whole lot, just to get a little
Gettin caught up in the middle the answer to life's riddles
to lead me, but it wasn't easy to see me
Get up off the block to the TV
And sell a couple million CD's, best believe me
You see these callouses on my soul?
Couldn't let hate and paralysis, take control
I pick you up when you down 'til I can't no mo'
My name sting in your mouth like canker sores
Been at war my whole life, sleepless nights
Endless fights, but still can't walk to the light
Cause my work ain't finished on earth, for what it's worth
[Chorus: singer]
Somewhere in the heart of man (somewhere, within, somewhere)
There comes a time when he must understand (when he must understand)
The strong withstand, the weak will fall [repeat]
Cause tomorrow may not come at all [repeat]
[Xzibit]
Life ain't long, it's more like a snapshot
You can have the top, I live for the hop
Never take a day I'm breathin on this planet for granted
Time for change, time for growth, peace understandin
See but niggaz keep forcin my hand, disturbin my plans
Bringin out the soldier in a peaceful man
It's like tryin to build a house on sand; you never get
a solid foundation, one man can change the nation
Yo I put that on all creation; Haitian, Jamaican
African, Asian, Caucausian, Indian
Whatever your persuasion, this is the message
Time is of essence especially when you're countin your blessings
Lessons learned from the deepest of pain, it's not a game
Keep my name outta your mouth and I'ma keep it the same, ya dig?
It's a shame, graduated to the rap game
Only to find out crack and rap was the same thang, damn!!
[Chorus]
[Xzibit]
Who got skill? Who got hustle?
Who got they family with 'em? Who pay for they muscle?
Yo it's all gon' come out in the wash, the lost angel
with dirty wings, bullets ricochet off my halo
I lay low for no one, I love my life
Ain't afraid of no hard work and sacrifice
Was born twice through the life of my seed
Makin sure he see a side of life, I was never able to see
Hittin home like "Ground Zero," move over now
Peace to the real heroes, still underground
I put it down for the homies that came that's hard in the paint
I'm livin proof it's never to late, you straight
Once in a while I go back to the main strip
And see the same niggaz still doin the same shit
And all I can do is increase the flow
Put it out, let it soak in, and hope they grow, c'mon
[Chorus - repeat 2X]

toto baby!
what the fuck happened to music. What the fuck happened to hip-hop? people used to spit real shit, now it's people who are wanna-be's, wack MC's, and people who talk about clubs and bullshit. fuck pop! fuck New school! Old School style and underground Keep it real.
Convolute .Records
Nothing happened. What happened is you don't know where to find non-mainstream hiphop.
Classic track right here
@popimpi amen to that.
@187PaperChaser you hella stupid it was funny though
Back when even popular hip hop albums were great.
It wasn't much later than this that it became to lollypop bullshit.
Hardcore west coast!
@PhilFunnilyEnough try looking for the instrumental of africa by toto
SLAPPER.. "time is of essence" <3
i LOVE TO JACK OFF IN MY CAR . ok that sounds weird but im a little hypo right now lol sorry i drank some weird ass energy drink and it fucked me up anyway yeah you dont need to ready this anymore then why am i still typin idk ? r u still readin ? HAHA if you are .. sorry ima go now get me another drink YYUUUUUMMMMYYYY hahahahaha yo wtf is funny about that ? mmeh
wow, take notes new hip hop listeners and new rappers, this is actually a song where the verses are the best part of the song, not the damn chorus.
Background music : Toto -Africa, incase u don't know it,
I like this more, except of the chorus, Toto has better chorus, if you ask me
we gona pimp your ride!!!!!!!!!!!!
sample is fucking sick
these is a inspirational song...
Nas used the same sample on New World
Funny thing is has like 20 others songs wayyy better than this shit too
mad song
this song is so good
xzibit is the best
but its fuckin good !! i respect this mashup
wtf you have just copied africa by toto and put some shitty rap in it
CLASSIC!!!
