Dying To Live Lyrics - Xzibit

VERSE 1: 

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 

HOOK: 

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 

VERSE 2: 

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 

West bound 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 

HOOK: 

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 

Verse 3: 

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 

HOOK: 

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
