Lyrics: Xzibit. Dying To Live.

Break the bank
Make my heart
Rate escalate
I can't wait
'Til the sun come up
Come precise
Like a diamond cut
I live life
Like my time is up
So I ain't got
No time to waste
Don't want a watch
With a diamond face
I wanna watch
Through a scope
Head shot
From a mile away
Ya head pop like JFK
Like a plot by the CIA
We ain't dying
From the KKK
When that AK spray
They say \"ay bay bay\"
Stay tuned watch
The melee play
Get attached
To the tracks
And the facts
Through the words
I say
Gotta navigate
Out my way
I'm a roadside IED
Detonating on live TV
Larry King
All eyes on me
Now put your hands
Where my eyes can see

If I die
Before I wake
I pray the Lord
My soul to take
'Cause I have faith
And I can't wait
To get
These obstacles up
Outta my face
'Cause it's my time
And it's my grind
And not even midnight
Can stop my shine
Let me confront
The ultimate sin
You're ready to die
But I'm dying to live

The hustler's theme
Caught in between greed
And the best of things
I don't even breathe
Expand my chest
Fatigued
Benjamin green leaves
In a nest of thieves
I get down on my knees
And beg God
To forgive my sins
Back at it again
Raise up like Attica did
Shift down 4th to 5th
And burn like an arsonist
Westbound down PCH
Catching nothing'
But green lights
My foot never touched
The brakes
My loot
Money makes
Move in Vegas
Shake Cali
Like the San Andreas
I'm the truth
In the booth
You a Space Invader
Go 'head and hate me
Hater
Hack ya hard drive
And erase the data
'Til I come face to face
With my creator
Bust back
Bottom line
Bourne Ultimatum
I'm too smart
To assassinate him
Try and touch me
It's fine
And just kindly
Return the favor
I return
The emancipator
May we all progress
To the power of X

If I die
Before I wake
I pray the Lord
My soul to take
'Cause I have faith
And I can't wait
To get
These obstacles up
Outta my face
'Cause it's my time
And it's my grind
Not even midnight
Can stop my shine
Let me confront
The ultimate sin
You're ready to die
But I'm dying to live

What you know
About mass appeal?
I peel out
As I clutch the wheel
Death certificate
Signed and sealed
Take a journey
Down the road to glory
Pay attention
To a soldier's story
There will be none after
There was none before me
X-Man withstand the test
A thin line
Between life and death
Sometimes it sucks
When you find success
Lost friends
Never lost respect
Coming home
Like an Iraq vet
So now the time
And the place is set
It's been a long haul
Ready to go
Circle up
C'mon start the show
So I can breath
And achieve
The impossible
I want
The bootleggers
To get it
The wise words
Of Xzibit
You never seen me
Crash and burn
I'm dying to live it
Who ready
For a revolution?
Who ready
For a real solution?
Save the music

If I die
Before I wake
I pray the Lord
My soul to take
'Cause I have faith
And I can't wait
To get
These obstacles up
Outta my face
'Cause it's my time
And it's my grind
Not even midnight
Can stop my shine
Let me confront
The ultimate sin
You're ready to die
But I'm dying to live
