The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Foundation" by the artist "Xzibit"

Contents

In the song "Foundation," Xzibit addresses his son, offering life advice and guidance. The meaning of the lyrics lies in the transfer of fatherly wisdom and experience gained in a harsh reality.

Xzibit speaks about the importance of self-defense and resilience in a world full of dangers ("Fight back when you get hit," "Trust in God, but keep a gat handy"). He warns against frivolity and recklessness, especially in relationships ("Son, be picky," "You can't just put your dck in anywhere").

The rapper emphasizes the importance of purposefulness and perseverance ("Don't let anyone stand in your way," "Have your own plan, develop your mind"). He urges his son not to repeat the mistakes of the past associated with crime and violence ("It's hard trying to teach you right from wrong," "There's nothing worse than raising someone who wanted to be a thug").

At the same time, Xzibit acknowledges his legacy ("You come from killers and dope dealers"), but strives to give his son a chance at a better life ("I don't want you to start from scratch," "Be prepared for the worst, but hope for the best").

The song is filled with the love and care of a father who wishes his son all the best ("When I look in your eyes, I see myself," "I only have love, which I convey through the Mag"). "Foundation" is not just a song, it is a message, a covenant, a foundation for building a better future.

[Verse 1]

When I look you in your eyes I can see my own

Straight love manifested in flesh and bone

You's a breath of fresh air in this world of shit

You was born to be a soldier don't ever forget

Hit back when hit

Use force that's effective

All these bitches and women

Son, please be selective

This is California can't stick your dick in everything

We will survive necessarily by any means

Let no man ever hold you down or supress you

It's the 90's the police just arrest you,

disrespect you on occasion take life

By the time you come of age they'll probably blast on sight

It's a shame they protect them but try to serve us

When your neck is on the line stand ground then bust

In God we trust but just incase keep it loaded and locked

Ready to rock

Then shake the spot

The Foundation

[Verse 2]

You came from a long line of killers and drug dealers

Who forever smoke bud

So it's probably in your blood

Realize you can only run the streets so long

Then the streets run you into the ground then gone

It's kinda ruff trying to teach you what's right from wrong

Same shit different day

It's the same ol' song

If the time ever comes that I meet my match

Take control of my assets

Fuck startin' from scratch

Take care of your mother

Keep yourself on track

Just cause ngas get behind you don't mean they got your back

Beware of the serpent

Cause there's a time in life the mothafucker will strike

And try to make you loose sight

Don't be a fake mothafucker tryin' to keep shit real

Fill cassettes with idle threats with no guts to kill

Son if you ever pull heat

Then use it

If you got a chance to walk away

Then do it

Total domination takes full concentration in all situations

A solid foundation

[Verse 3]

You are the foundation

Beginning of a new generation

I remember hospital hallway pacin'

I was anxious as fuck to see your face shine

Only to find that yours looked like mine

So it's like I'm livin' twice at the exact same time

In this life you can't press stop

Then press rewind

Gotta live to the fullest never follow behind no man

Have your own plan, expand your mind

Ain't no paper thin game to raise wannabe thugs

This is nothing but love

Via sattelite Muggs

Take heed when it's your turn to bring new life

Make sure it's the woman you gonna make your wife

Be prepared for the worst

But expect the best

No matter where life takes you

Come home to the West

Survival takes more than just gats and guns

That's words to live by

From a father to a son

Foundation.
