What U See Is What U Get Lyrics – Xzibit
Soundtrack Album: White Men Can't Jump
What U See Is What U Get Text
And so it was written, and after all these things
I saw another angel come down from heaven
Having great power, and the earth was lightened with his glory
And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying
"Babylon the great has fallen
Has fallen and has become the habitation of devils
And the home to every foul spirit
And a cage of very unclean, and hateful men"
Yeah, what you see is what you get now
Xzibit never wait around for no kickdown, got my own sh*t loud
Shot heard around the world
Uplift, bench press, arm curl, keep the structure of the temple
To make things simple, my existence is a ripple through time
Only concerned with what is mine, divine
Never monkeyshine, walkin down a very thin line
Holdin heat, runnin crazy in the streets, yeah (What's up?)
Plus the company I keep put in overtime while you oversleep
Don't wanna see none of this evil I speak
Around the atlas, cum laude magna, the super actress
You all get clothe-lined and pinned to the mattress
All day, every day, every which way
Who said you can't have your cake and eat it too (f**k you!)
This is hard time on Planet Earth, for what it's worth
Xzibit stay in rotation without rehabilitation like this
Players, pimps, hoes, hustlers
Willies, thugs, ballers, busters
Gangstas, macks, everyday, all day
Shot callers, even high rollers keep it moving
What you see is what you get now
The kinda style make the whole world go wild
Bless the child that can hold his own, flesh and bone
And no matter where I roam I feel right at home, and that's the real sh*t
You got more than you bargained for; hit the floor
I pull a fast one to let you know today could be your last one black
Take your breath like an asthma attack
Just a slave like Flavor Flav, "You're blind to the facts"
Mr. X to the Z, tha Liks and King Tee
Guaranteed to bring the house down naturally
Niggas knowin No Limits like Master P
Makin you motherf**kin bastards see (What?)
A whole different breed of MC; realize it's you against me
Catch a three-hundred and sixty degree
Roundhouse to the mouth right
And like the sun, make the hot sh*t shine bright
I feelin like my whole life is a green light never turn red
Cause I strike like a rattlesnake, lock like a dread
Niggas wanna bump heads, but they better off dead
Came crashin through the door like the Feds, bring it
What you see is what you get now
The kinda style make the whole world go wild
Bless the child that can hold his own, flesh and bone
And no matter where I roam I feel right at home, and that's the real sh*t
The year everybody start to rush
Swingin through is your friendly neighborhood lush
I crack your bottle then watch how Xzibit bust
I regulate like a killer with a nickel plate, I set it straight
Start to shakin you down, breakin new ground, construction work
Heavy artillery, put your dick in the dirt
Stay alert, the game is rough so you might get hurt
Slug burnt through your jacket through your sweater, through your shirt
Get cut from the belly up (What?)
I break the chain, fast lane, suck my sugar cane
I'm tryin to spark a nigga brain while you entertain trivial things
Material things, protected by the underground kings
Who rule the land with an iron fist
The Men in Black, if we flash can't remember sh*t (Sorry)
You cross me, I'll make you pay like the government, I wanna kill Sam
Cause my package came short twelve grams, get the picture?
Players, pimps, hoes, hustlers
Willies, thugs, ballers, busters
Gangstas, macks, everyday, all day
Shot callers, even high rollers keep it moving
What you see is what you get now
The kinda style make the whole world go wild
Bless the child that can hold his own, flesh and bone
And no matter where I roam I feel right at home, and that's the real sh*t
And so it was written, and after all these things
I saw another angel come down from heaven

- Genre: Hip-hop, rap
- Lyricist: Alvin Joiner (Xzibit)
- Composers: Alvin Joiner (Xzibit)
- Band: N/A
- Album: 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz (1998)
Artist Info:
The American rapper, actor, and television host Xzibit was born as Alvin Joiner and hails from Detroit, Michigan. Born there, he later moved to Los Angeles, and it was here that his musical career took shape. Xzibit presents gritty content with a powerful presentation. It was during the latter part of the decade of the 1990s that his albums "At the Speed of Life" and "40 Dayz & 40 Nightz" made him popular, taking his reputation to the next level in the hip-hop community. Xzibit is very upfront and dry in his approach to music. Most of the time, while writing his songs, he figures out his personal experiences, social issues, and realities of street life. He furthered his influence into the mainstream beyond music by hosting the show "Pimp My Ride" on MTV.Annotations and Meaning:
Literal Interpretation: That all begins with him making a scriptural reference to the fall of Babylon, which represents moral anarchy and degeneration. He then goes on to declare himself completely autonomous in the rap business. He asserts his determination and desire to move forward without assistance, but by hard work and resilience.What you see is what you get now Xzibit never wait around for no kickdown, got my own sh*t loudAll lines show or point towards his self-reliance and self-belief; he makes it clear that he is successful in his way. Thematic Interpretation: The tune is based on self-reliance, being on point, and the harsh realities of life itself. Xzibit discusses his struggles in life and how he fought with all of his resolve. He also addresses various characters from the rap industry, contrasting genuine talent with imitation.
Players, pimps, hoes, hustlers Willies, thugs, ballers, busters Gangstas, macks, everyday, all day Shot callers, even high rollers keep it movingThese lyrics form a chorus that represents the multiplicity of characters that comprise the hip-hop community, each of whom is on their path to success in their own unique way.
Take your breath like an asthma attack Just a slave like Flavor Flav, "You're blind to the facts"Xzibit talks in such graphic terms about his words and the ignorance around him. The remarks regarding Flavor Flav appear directed at a criticism of those who could not see past the surface.
I regulate like a killer with a nickel plate, I set it straightHere, he likens his sharpness and domination in the rap game with that of a very rigid but effective enforcer who sets things in place with his abilities. "What U See Is What U Get" is a statement that throws power and authenticity. The song, gifted from the hand of the giant place in landscape hip-hop, offers some of the most introspective lyrics. This is one track that features strong story narration and imagery by the use of lyrics, indicating the strong will and determination of Xzibit to be successful on his own terms, hence one of the standouts on the disc.
