How Come?

(album: Balance & Options - 2000)

Hey, this song is dedicated for me and all my homeboys.
To the police, y'all gotta start us out.
Xzibit dun came im here and got a nigga high.

[Chorus]
now howcome y'all be messin with me
when you find out that I'm a star? (howcome?)
and just because I'm cool with y'all
don't mean you can search my car. [x1]
and if you don't wanna spend the day with me
it ain't always gotta end with sex (yeah)
she likes it that I'm always into finer things,
and I can donut in an NSX.

[Verse 1]
aight, now first of all fall in
cuz we gon talk about how we was ballin
before most of y'all niggas crawled in.
bitches callin
tryin to get the dick of the Quikster
cuz I was rich even before I could buy liquor.
now this is thicker.
although I came to the game with an explicit sticker
it be the little kids acknowledgin that I'm the nigga.
I'm sorta like a role model.
they love me
I ain't half-assed, pullin full throttle.
now pass the bottle
but hold up for me, pal
could you make it a corona with Limon Esalle?
and could you ??(send them in these on so we could show these down)??
so all my little hispanic homies could pound-pound.
this is underground-ground
the new WS sound
but I'm thinkin that y'all thinkin that we all just clown.
but we gon take the crown back.
cuz if the west be a movie, then this be the soundtrack, now

[Chorus]
now howcome y'all be messin with me
when you find out that I'm a star? (howcome)
and just because I'm cool with y'all
don't mean you can search my car [x1]
and if you don't wanna spend the day with me
it ain't always gotta end with sex (cuz I don't want it)
she likes it that I'm always into finer things
and I can donut in an NSX

[Verse 2]
Hey, now peep my family
left to right
we expedite
nice to you fuckers, then we next to fight.
we get down, and get out.
when you see them coming, cut the shit out.
cuz they gon put us on the bench
and make us sit out.
so put a hit out
on the authorities
cuz they thinkin we don't know they got a sorority.
fuck the who?
I ain't sayin hit like in death
I'm talkin hit records crackin
when you bust that left
outta Carson and Watts.
South Central LA, back to your spot
Compton niggas, we got the show shot
orgasmic beats that keep these hoes hot
put your lips on my glass, you're doin a whole lot
ball till you fall, nigga
99 bottles, I'm buyin the whole wall.
This is the role call, nigga
all us fly niggas gon ball
if you hatin, then we don't know y'all, nigga

[Chorus]
now howcome y'all be messin with me
when you find out that I'm a star? (howcome?)
and just because I'm cool with y'all
don't mean you can search my car [x1]
and if you don't wanna spend the day with me
it ain't always gotta end with sex (cuz I don't want it)
she likes it that I'm always into finer things
and I could donut in an NSX

[Verse 3]
uh, but it's a whole new lineup
Will and Skaboo
comin through with the brew
cuz KA drunk the wine up
five in the mornin
and the phone's still ringin
it's been a nine year party
ever since I started singin tonight
but it's a whole lot betta.
it ain't no jealousy, no snitches, or no feda'
I'm gittin drunk
I'm sayin fuck it with my friends
and I'm spoiled cuz my muthafuckin bucket is a Benz
and I'm lookin for my niggga X
with the hydroponic, bubonic, bionic
chase it with some gin 'n' tonic
now who got the balls enough to hit that bong
and straight pass out cuz the shit that strong?
but the 1's gotta leave us alone
cuz we aint' doin wrong
I'm the music
and Black Tone's the backbone
got your daughter back grown
ebony and ivory, baby
the little white girl
little black songs, get on

[Chorus]
now howcome y'all ne messin with me
when you find out that I'm a star? (howcome)
and just because I'm cool wth y'all
don't mean you can search my car [1x]
and if you don't wanna spend the day with me
it ain't always gotta end with sex
(we could ball till we fall that's all)
she likes it that I'm always into finer things
and I could donut in an NSX (I like it too)
now howcome y'all be messin with me
when you find out that I'm a star? (howcome?)
and just because I'm cool with y'all
don't mean you can search my car (I'm platinum)
and if you don't wanna spend the day with me
it ain't always gotta end with sex [x1]
she only likes me cuz I'm into finer things
and I could donut in an NSX
