Life is too short but now it's kind of funky |
|
I make the beats for me and my homies |
|
Newspaper reporters and others always ask me |
|
Why I'm X-rated and I rap so nasty |
|
When I was a teen I did nothing else |
|
But pick up a pen and express myself |
|
The things I wrote were obsene and kind of dirty |
|
But mama always said the truth couldn't hurt me |
|
She also said that it would set me free |
|
I guess she was R-I-G-H-T on the nail |
|
Cause now I'm out making my mail |
|
It all started out from a freaky tale |
|
If that's what sells then I'm a stick with it |
|
Short Dog ain't changing, so forget it |
|
You can sell out if you want to, homie |
|
But I'm a stay short but funky |
|
Don't stop, just call it verse two |
|
It's Short Dog baby from the Dangerous Crew |
|
Not your average everyday fake rap on the micro |
|
I might say something that your mother don't like so |
|
Don't play it loud if she's around to see |
|
But you can play this cause it's rated PG |
|
When I'm rated X I'm just having my fun |
|
I bring a smile to each and every one |
|
But there's a serious side in everything I say |
|
Life is too short for you to wait 'til the next day |
|
Just straighten up your life and you can start right here |
|
Drop the cocaine and the bottles of beer |
|
People always say it ain't right to preach |
|
But take my advice, get wise and reach for the sky |
|
So you can live like a king homie |
|
And I'm a stay short but funky |
|
You never catch me on the mic rappin' a dance tune |
|
I like it kind of mellow with the sound of the bass boom |
|
The style is mine, I've been doing it for ten |
|
You might say it's simple, but I'm making my ends |
|
See I don't trip on a punk cause I jack him |
|
Too $hort plus the cuss words equals platinum |
|
What would I look like dancing on a stage |
|
I wave my hand and do it like the old days |
|
But some dumb fool want to take it out of hand |
|
With 50 million dancers and a big old band |
|
That ain't me, I'm from the old school |
|
Play the instrumental, get the mic and I'm cool |
|
Cause I'm an Oaktown mack and it's like that, so |
|
It all comes out in my records and my stage show |
|
In my category I'm the one and only |
|
And I'm a stay short but funky |
|
Hey yo, that's it |
|
Baby Jesus |
|
Dog baby from the Dangerous Crew |
