Highest Form Of Understanding Lyrics - Xzibit

First night I spent in California 

I was homeless in a Venice beach 

It was all a dream 

came to California at seventeen 

little nigga tryna bubble up from the crack scene 

it got so complicated, then I graduated 

haters so mad I made it 

how could I fly so high only to feel so low 

how do they live so fast only to grow so slow 

like when you short no support for your kids 

but got money for marijauna just to smoke with your friends 

or that woman who survives and beats cancer 

only to be drowned in debt with no answers 

the frequency of tragedy it happens so rapidly 

that we became numb, we embraced this insanity 

some wack job hauled off and smoke his whole family 

reality TV thats not based in reality 

stuck watching train wrecks everybody going for self 

self worth prison point but for money and wealth 

this mentality of me, fuck everything else 

its a virus, a disease Im a victim myself 

but I swear before I leave Ima fix it I swear 

Ima fix it I swear 

yo you better beware 

Rich boy kill his own wife knocks her teeth out 

cuts her fingers off than escape with a suicide 

the king of pop died, Michael Vick was fighting dogs 

but he walked and did his time let him throw the fucking ball 

As the markers keep crashing and people get desperate 

putting faith in the false feeling so disrespected 

turn to this record the highest form of understanding 

understand me, fight a flight for your family (come) 

walk with a soldier (come) 

talk with a soldier 

centerblocks stop shooting straight from the shoulder 

as we all get older and hope falls over 

and damn you was 6 years sober 

and just like that now you back were you started square one 

and you cant bring it back when that bullet leave the gun 

as the planet get smaller, prepare for the North American Union 

an anvil to replace your dollars 

narcisistic society love paparazzi 

get the starbucks for your overpriced latte 

ignoring all the signs, nevermind is your mindstate 

until the end of time, shit is closer than you think man. 

[Trick Trick:] 

Ive done been in situations where the only thing that I can do is read the Bible 

went to the [?] where a piece of metal the only way of survival 

made up my mind that I dont ever want to return 

chance was given again now Im back out in the World 

made a promise to God but living in sin 

I can never lie to God but its so hard to live right 

Im carrying 7 point 62s to fist fights 

aint nobody playing fair they cheat no cheat 

way finna be the topic for the preachers Eulogy speaking 

the word say "turn the other cheek" thats what they teach us 

but Peter sliced the ear off a nigga rollin on Jesus 

I dont wanna pause Im doing what Im supposed to do 

Im a real nigga one from a million chosen few 

everlasting pain has got my brain like its trapped inside a maze 

have you been unfaithful to the game (damn shame) 

18 years you never beleived him thats yo son 

go and see him muthafucker 

you fucked his mother 

the God Damn common courtesy never applied to you 

cause you thought she lied to you 

you couldnt see your own mother in his face 

if you die hell be in a better place 

bring the tape back
