|
I tell so well(Tune in to the History Channel) |

These are the tales(Learn a lesson biatch) |
|
These are the tales that |
|
I tell so well(Short Dog) |
|
I'm thinkin' way back, it's been a long, long time |
|
In 1980 I wrote my first rhyme |
|
I like to spit a lot of game |
|
But back then, |
|
I was just sayin' my name |
|
I had a record player on my stereo |
|
Got down on my knees with my radio |
|
From Oakland, |
|
California with some new shit |
|
I'm Sir Too |
|
Short, I'm bout to do this |
|
In 1981, that's where it all begun |
|
We do it for the money, we don't rap for fun |
|
Five dolla's fo' a tape, |
|
Too Short and |
|
Freddy BMoney in my pocket's all |
|
I ever need |
|
It was me, |
|
Fred B and |
|
Freddy Brack |
|
Dipped the sermon sticks then we smoked them phat |
|
While we rapped about the bitches and all the ho's |
|
Can't be in the hole tryin' to ball without vogues |
|
In '82 you was in the game |
|
With a Falcon, |
|
Cougar or a |
|
MustangMe and |
|
Freddy B used to hit the turfs |
|
With a bag of tapes puttin' in work, biatch |
|
In '83 you hit a house party |
|
A dolla' get you in and a dolla' fo' a drink |
|
I'm on the turntable smokin' get-right |
|
And at mid-night |
|
I'll be rappin' on the mic |
|
I did the same thang, for the next two years |
|
That's why they say my name, when |
|
I come through here |
|
When I was |
|
Sixteen, I want'd to be a mack |
|
I went to |
|
Fremont High with |
|
Lil' D and |
|
BlackYoung ballers in the town livin' real phat |
|
Never had the sack but |
|
I smoked a little crack |
|
Crushed up in the weed, we call 'em bass rock |
|
CaddiesGoin' on them grimmies make them ho's call me daddy |
|
These are the tales |
|
These are the tales that |
|
I tell so well |
|
These are the tales |
|
These are the tales that |
|
I tell so well |
|
It's been fifteen years since that shit happened |
|
But Too Short don't stop rappin' |
|
In '85, I was on the right page |
|
Ten thousand niggaz, |
|
Short live on stage |
|
Underground tapes was all they ever heard |
|
But the whole crowd sang along with me word for word |
|
And that changed everything |
|
Went to Seventy |
|
Five Girls and hooked up with |
|
DeanReal player-ism and that's no joke |
|
Snort a lot of coke with ho's that like to smoke |
|
I was makin' records but wasn't makin' money |
|
You can take it seriously or you can think it's funny |
|
By '87, I was on my own, started |
|
Dangerous |
|
MusicAnd I made the song "These are the tales, the freaky tales" |
|
No radio or video or |
|
CD salesSix platinums in a row, |
|
Ice Cube and |
|
Cool JWho else did that shit? |
|
Short Dog from the |
|
BayThese ho's try to play it safe |
|
But I been mackin' hard since eighty-eight |
|
And from eighty-nine to ninety-six |
|
I was rappin' on the mic talkin' shit about a bitch |
|
I'll retire ten times and |
|
I'll still be here |
|
My old records sell about a half a mil' a year |
|
I say "Bitch get naked" so pimpishly |
|
Spit rhymes through decades and centuries |
|
And bitches just love my dirty mouth |
|
When I see you again |
|
I'ma cuss you out, biatch! |
|
That's my gift, now all you rappers get to say that shit |
|
I wont sue you, but that's the trademark |
|
I was a grown ass man when you was playin' in the park lil' nigga |
