The Foundation - Xzibit

[00:00.00]【Verse 1】
[00:19.91]When I look you in your eyes I can see my own
[00:22.55]Straight love manifested in flesh and bone
[00:25.05]You's a breath of fresh air in this world of ****
[00:27.56]You was born to be a soldier don't ever forget
[00:30.07]Hit back when hit
[00:31.33]Use force that's effective
[00:32.70]All these ******* and women
[00:33.95]Son, please be selective
[00:35.46]This is California can't stick your **** in everything
[00:37.71]We will survive necessarily by any means
[00:40.73]Let no man ever hold you down or supress you
[00:42.99]It's the 90's the police just arrest you
[00:45.25]Disrespect you on occasion take life
[00:47.76]By the time you come of age they'll probably blast on sight
[00:50.02]It's a shame they protect them but try to serve us
[00:52.53]When your neck is on the line stand ground then bust
[00:55.04]In God we trust but just incase keep it loaded and locked
[00:58.45]Ready to rock then shake the spot, the Foundation
[01:19.70]【Verse 2】
[01:19.71]You came from a long line of killers and drug dealers
[01:22.81]Who forever smoke bud
[01:24.06]So it's probably in your blood
[01:25.32]Realize you can only run the streets so long
[01:27.58]Then the streets run you into the ground then gone
[01:30.09]It's kinda ruff trying to teach you what's right from wrong
[01:32.60]Same **** different day
[01:33.95]It's the same ol' song
[01:35.21]If the time ever comes that I meet my match
[01:37.72]Take control of my assets
[01:39.22]**** startin' from scratch
[01:40.23]Take care of your mother, keep yourself on track
[01:42.49]Just cause ****** get behind you don't mean they got your back
[01:45.51]Beware of the serpent
[01:46.51]Cause there's a time in life the *********** will strike
[01:48.77]And try to make you loose sight
[01:50.28]Don't be a fake *********** tryin' to keep **** real
[01:52.53]Fill cassettes with idle threats with no guts to kill
[01:55.55]Son if you ever pull heat then use it
[01:58.06]If you got a chance to walk away then do it
[02:00.57]Total domination takes full concentration in all situations
[02:04.26]A solid foundation(yeah yeah)
[02:25.07]【Verse 3】
[02:25.08]You are the foundation
[02:26.34]Beginning of a new generation
[02:27.84]I remember hospital hallway pacin'
[02:30.61]I was anxious as **** to see your face shine
[02:32.86]Only to find that yours looked like mine
[02:35.57]So it's like I'm livin' twice at the exact same time
[02:37.82]In this life you can't press stop
[02:39.33]Then press rewind
[02:40.33]Gotta live to the fullest never follow behind no man
[02:43.60]Have your own plan, expand your mind( expand your mind)
[02:45.35]Ain't no paper thin game to raise wannabe thugs
[02:47.86]This is nothing but love
[02:49.12]Via sattelite Muggs
[02:50.63]Take heed when it's your turn to bring new life
[02:52.90]Make sure it's the woman you gonna make your wife
[02:55.40]Be prepared for the worst, but expect the best
[02:57.66]No matter where life takes you
[02:59.23]Come home to the West
[03:00.49]Survival takes more than just gats and guns
[03:02.76]That's words to live by
[03:04.25]From a father to a son
[03:05.75]Foundation
