|
I remember how it all began |
|
I used to sing dirty raps to my east side fans |
|
Back then |
|
I knew ya could'ntstop this rap |
|
No m.c. could rock like that |
|
Then the new style came, the bass got deeper |
|
Ya gave up the mike and bought you a beeper |
|
Do ya wanna rap or sell coke? |
|
Brothers like you ain't never been broke |
|
People wanna say it's just my time |
|
Brothers like me had to work for mine |
|
Eight years on the mike and |
|
I'm not jokin |
|
Sir too short comin straight from oakland |
|
California, home of the rock |
|
Eight woofers in the trunk, beatin down the block |
|
Short dog, |
|
I'm that rappin man |
|
I said it before and |
|
I ll say it again |
|
Life is too short |
|
Too short |
|
Life is too short |
|
Life is to some people unbearable |
|
Committin suicide and that's terrible |
|
Was it much too much or nothing big? |
|
If ya live my life, you'd be fightin to live |
|
Life is to me my main asset |
|
I be doin all right and keep it just like that |
|
Chill out at the house and pump that bass |
|
I'm tryin to get rich as |
|
I rock the place |
|
Everybodys got that same old dream |
|
To have big money and fancy things |
|
Drive a brand new benz, keep your banck right here |
|
Never hear me stutter once because |
|
I talk real clear |
|
It's on you, homeboy, watcha gonna do? |
|
You can take my advice and start workin, fool |
|
Or you can close your ears and run your mouth |
|
And one day, homeboy, ya soon find out |
|
Life is too short |
|
Too short |
|
Life is too short |
|
Life is too short, would you agree? |
|
While I'm livin my life, don't mess with me |
|
It's been a long time, baby, since |
|
I first got down |
|
But I still keep makin these funky sounds |
|
Cause I don't stop rappin, that's my theme |
|
I make a lot of money, do you know what |
|
I mean? Like this, complicated ya must stay up |
|
Ya asked a simple question boy, don't say what? |
|
Ya only live once and ya callin it hell |
|
Policeman tryin to take ya to jail |
|
You could give a man time but you don't know |
|
I a matter of time, |
|
I'll be runnin the show |
|
Now another young buck wants to be on top |
|
Makin big money, slangin hop |
|
The task force tryin ta peel your cap |
|
Turn around, homeboy, ya better watch your back |
|
Life is too short |
|
Too short |
|
Life is too short |
|
You can take back all the things you give |
|
But ya can't take back the days you live |
|
Life is to some peole whove been on earth |
|
Livin every single day for what it's worth |
|
I live my life just how |
|
I please Satisfy one person |
|
I know, that's me |
|
Work hard for the things |
|
I achieve in life |
|
And never rap fake when |
|
I'm on the mike |
|
Cause if a dream is all you got, homeboy |
|
Ya gotta turn that dream into the real mccoy |
|
Not time to waste, just get on that case |
|
Ya can't be down cause ya need to taste |
|
A good life livin like a king on a throne |
|
Gettin everything ya want and tryin to have all your own |
|
So life Don't be stupid though |
|
Cause when ya waste it, you'll know |
|
Life is Life is |
|
All right, that's it |
