Sorry I'm Away So Much Lyrics - Restless - Xzibit

(Xzibit talking) 

Come here Tre, what's up son, come on 

To whom it may concern, yeah, listen 

Sorry I'm away so much, yeah, yeah 

All the sons, daughters, penitentary niggas, yeah, feel me 

Uh, sorry I'm away so much, yeah 

(Xzibit) 

My son was born about four and a half years ago 

Nothin protected him, amazin how fast they grow 

I came to know about his likes and his dislikes, yeah 

Video games, taught him how to ride his first bike 

This is the life my little nigga, I see you gettin all upset 

When I leave the house, poutin, let me tell you about 

Tryna make it in this world and provide for you 

'Cause on them overseat plane rides I miss you too 

Never knew that I would have to be away so much 

Five thousand dollar phone bills keepin in touch 

We Starskey and Hutch, yeah, we partners for life, yeah 

I rock mics, so I'm sorry when I hug you if I squeeze too tight 

Long nights in the studio take me away 

Gettin mad 'cause I'm tired and you want me to play 

Money can't replace time, I'm just tryna get you outta the fine relyin 

And expand your mind my lil' ni', yeah 

Yeah, c'mon 

(Chorus-X) 

Look, sorry I'm away so much 

Understand me, yeah 

It's for you, hah, yeah (you, and you, and you) 

C'mon, look, sorry I'm away so much 

Huh, we keep it gangsta 

Look 

(Xzibit) 

I got a brother locked down, he be out in a couple 

Knuckle for knuckle, a veteran and nothin but muscle 

Now broadcastin live from behind the wall 

Stayin tight through long kites and telephone calls 

Gettin hype when you see your brother on T.V. 

Can't wait for your release so you can roll with me 

Arrange everything exactly how it's supposed to be 

For right now here's a thousand, J, stay lo-key 

You say damn Xzibit, whyn't you pay a nigga a visit 

Time limits got me movin a million miles a minute 

Knee deep, gotta strike while the iron is hot 

Still gotta eat and keep the lights on when it's not 

Sleepin on cots, bullet wounds got you in knots 

I wish I was there to snatch you up instead of the cops 

Muthafuck it, do the time and get it out of the way 

You goin from convict to corporate nigga in one day (in one day) 

(Chorus) 

(Quik) 

Now I ain't never been this hot before 

So in essence it's obvious, I ain't never been this out before 

I'm spending 25-8 days, 366 times a year 

Up in the studio freakin and mixin rhymes in here 

Nothin but beer, bud smoke, Hen and Coke, women and sheer 

Callin playa niggas there 

Not the kinda place I really wanna bring my son 

Get on lil' Dane, gon' in there and have you some fun 

Used to be that ??? be up there sewin ya clothes 

While I'm with you on the Playstation showin you codes 

Hit the X button stupid, forward, left, right, X 

Now I'm tryna get your college fund, bustin with X 

(Suga Free) 

Come here, give that here dada, 

no no don't do that mama 'cause dada be back 

Here go your ba-ba, Pampers, flashy ???, you can see that 

You tryna figure out 

why dada talkin to you through this glass on the phone 

Ooh, I socked a bitch and then she snitched, but I'll be home 

Can't keep me away, just can't stay away 

(Chorus-Suga Free) 

(Suga Free talkin to fade)
