Xzibit - Thank You Lyrics






[Xzibit] Yo, listen, huh

[Chorus: Xzibit]
I just wanna thank you, for bein around
And patiently waitin and holdin me down
It's 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
It's easy to see, for Mr. X to the Z
That without no you, there could be no me

[Xzibit]
You 'bout to hear some words, that you ain't probably heard
With all of these rappers pullin triggers and flippin birds
I know it sound absurd, cause they don't tell the truth
They prostitutes, fuckin contaminate the youth
But yet I'm guilty of, the things I said above
No matter my faults still continue to show me love
Naw I ain't 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
It's 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 wasn't meant for me, I spent a decade
makin it what it's 'sposed to be, hopefully brought you close to me
All these people approachin me, don't even know the half
I could be facin life but X is signin autographs, damn

[Chorus]

[Xzibit]
My son's 11 now, 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 gon' be taller than me, he got my mother's 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, motherfuck '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
Some'll 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 couldn't afford to do
That's what it's 'sposed to do, this is from me to you
Support from you and yours, thank you for gettin me through, true

[Chorus]

[Xzibit]
We buried Proof today, it really broke me up
to see my brother in that casket, maaan what the fuck?
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, the lives he touched, the cornerstone
We never walk alone, although sometime it seems
that nightmares go hand in hand with livin out dreams
So let me take this time, from my struggle my grind
to let you know that I appreciate you by my side
It's 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
That's why I hit the stage, that's why I kill the mic
It's for my fans that's ridin with Xzibit for life, RIGHT!

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Thank you, for lettin me breathe
For lettin me be who I am, huh, yeah, huh
Two little words, y'all never get to hear enough
Knahmsayin? Yeah that, hehe..
Yes.. the return
Uh-huh.. breathe!

  39. d.... b....

    great performance by xzibit, and those strings... perfect

  40. S.... ....

    Good things from bad things, this is amazing.

  41. V.... ....

    You know society is fucked when a "from-the-heart" performance from a top west coast oldschool artist has less views than the shitty unintelligible crap spewed out these days. What the fuckkk

  42. M.... K....

    Can't believe this was 9 years ago.... And the last track on his album...

  43. D.... D....

    Best live performance ever. powerful.

  44. M.... N....

    Straight from the heart !!

    M.... N....

    I love this song it speaks to me i live on the streets in New Zealand

  47. S.... ....

    i hope someone released this beat damn

  48. C.... ....

    It would take another 8 years for another rapper to have a killer performance on Letterman with J Cole. LOL.

    C.... ....

    wrong, Lupe Fiasco "Daydreamin" rivals this

  49. N.... C....

    Best Live Performance Ever!!!!!!!

  50. I.... M....

    Who the fuck disliked ??? what the fuck ??? How can someone dislike such a  masterpiece ? - Idiots 

  51. K.... G....

    just miss this hommie. his sh**t was tight

  52. M.... D....

    The best!

  53. s.... b....

    Xzibit is the most underrated rapper out there, mans deserve more credit

    s.... b....

    @samson bitrus He should pimp his career :)
    Just kidding , he is underrated cuz lots of people know xzibit just from pimp my ride. Thats why.

    s.... b....

    so true

    s.... b....

    Much as I agree you Bruv, you out to replace the "Most", with "One of", at least some peepz know him from PIMP my ride, they are other ill Rappers out there who are completely unknown and yet they have devoted their lives to the GAME.

  54. E.... S....

    I dedicate this song to a good friend I lost, Paulos Fissas aka KILLAH P . R.I.P my beloved friend. I knew you liked this one! <3 <3

    E.... S....

    Den perimena na bro ellina edo kai malista kopela..Exete poli oreo gousto efoson kserete auto to kommati.. ton ikseres prosopika ton paulo??

  55. s.... ....

    I say it all the time, but I can't help it.  Xzibit is the most underrated rapper/artist of the last generation of rappers... he's killed it, and been so candid/real on so many tracks that didn't get shit for play, or recognition. I think foundation was the first rap song that actually made me listen hard to what someone was rapping about, besides the flow and beat.

  56. K.... D....

    Xzibit for life!

  57. r.... i....

    i love this         i m that     

  58. T.... C....

    Dude could spit some fire back then, shame his legacy will be nothing more than a shitty meme and a sketchy car "pimping" show.

  59. P.... ....

    fucking beautiful

  60. J.... ....

    76 dislikes i aint going to say alot but i mean that was more than just rap it was heart and soul and you dislike that fucking idiots seriously 

  61. M.... R....

    Cant get more real than this, nuttin but pure class and emotion this has to be one of the best live rap perfomances pac wouldve been proud this is a poem a story a life. 10/10 X !

  62. S.... ....

    some real shit.
    where is the truth in music these days?
    respect and big ups son

  63. J.... B....

    classic moment. Mister X. legend. 

  64. Z.... H....

    This song will always give me goosebumps

  65. n.... ....

    you seen xzibits arms? just a few tattoos

  66. f.... m....

    nigga he has tattoos ..

  67. H.... ....

    this song means so much more live he really puts power behind his words

  68. O.... E....

  69. M.... C....

    I don't understand all words, but I feel it!

  70. a.... ....

  73. w.... ....

  78. I.... ....

    You smiled like a dumbass. Admit it.

  79. D.... ....

  80. M.... B....

    Everytime I hear this song I start missing Proof.. Emotional song.

  81. j.... c....

    I love the lyrics and glory to God I don't respect raunchy rap

  82. S.... M....

    This is by far the best song i ever heard by xzibit

  83. x.... ....

    Powerful man, Powerful words. Powerful music. Xzibit will always have a place in my heart!! I feel like his music is strictly for the righteous on this planet you know? That man is a shining example of how a REAL Rapper should act and present himself to the world and for that I just want to say THANK YOU xzibit!


  84. R.... W....

    Goose bumps every time.

  85. n.... ....

    he showed some real emotion on that track.

  86. B.... B....

    Or you know 72 people just don't like this song because it isn't their "cup of tea."

  87. k.... r....

    one of the best live performances this is real hip hop X to the Z LEGEND!!!!

  88. D.... C....

    R.I.P Big Proof <3

  89. T.... A....

    at least 72 people were in that studio audience and were mad that they weren't in heaven when they left. and now this video is all they got... it's sad :( . i might get bitter too

  90. J.... S....

    I absolutely love this song and always have since I first heard it. It's real touching, plus it describes exactly how I feel right now. Not to say I had it worse than anyone else, but I've been through a whole lot these past 2 or 3 years and words can't express how thankful I am to those who stood by me, especially God. Keep doing what you're doing Xzibit, I support you. And R.I.P. Proof, you're never over.

  91. a.... ....

    Still gives me goosebumps!

  92. E.... ....

    ive seen many rap artists including eminem, 50 cent + game, and x-zibit was the best of all of them

  93. P.... ....

    check my page

  94. n.... ....

    I love how he lights up when referencing his mum and his son. Beautiful.

  95. P.... P....
