Thank You Lyrics - Full Circle - Xzibit

Yo, listen 

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 

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, man 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 

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 

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 buck 'em 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 

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 

We buried Proof today, it really broke me up 

To see my brother in that casket, man, 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 lotta long nights 

A lotta 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 

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 

Thank you for lettin' me breathe 

For lettin' me be who I am, yeah 

Two little words, y'all never get to hear enough 

Knahmsayin'? Yeah that, yes, the return, breathe
