Xzibit - Dying To Live, song (for the film "X-Files: I Want to Believe") Lyrics

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
