| [00:13.65] |
I remember how it all began |
| [00:16.20] |
I used to sing dirty raps to my east side fans |
| [00:19.02] |
Back then i knew ya couldn't stop this rap |
| [00:22.05] |
No m.c. could rock like that |
| [00:24.66] |
Then the new style came, the bass got deeper |
| [00:27.45] |
Ya gave up the mike and bought you a beeper |
| [00:30.30] |
Do ya wanna rap or sell coke? |
| [00:32.97] |
Brothers like you ain't never been broke |
| [00:35.67] |
People wanna say it's just my time |
| [00:38.43] |
Brothers like me had to work for mine |
| [00:40.95] |
Eight years on the mike and i'm not jokin' |
| [00:43.83] |
Sir too short comin' straight from oakland |
| [00:46.56] |
California, home of the rock |
| [00:49.11] |
Eight woofers in the trunk, beatin' down the block |
| [00:51.75] |
Short dog, i'm that rappin' man |
| [00:54.72] |
I said it before and i 'll say it again |
| [00:57.12] |
Life is too short |
| [00:58.02] |
Too short |
| [00:58.44] |
Life is too short |
| [01:08.13] |
Life is to some people unbearable |
| [01:10.74] |
Committin' suicide and that's terrible |
| [01:13.50] |
Was it much too much or nothing' big? |
| [01:16.32] |
If ya live my life, you'd be fightin' to live |
| [01:18.96] |
Life is to me my main asset |
| [01:21.84] |
I be doin' all right and keep it just like that |
| [01:24.39] |
Chill out at the house and pump that bass |
| [01:27.48] |
I'm tryin' to get rich as i rock the place |
| [01:30.36] |
Everybody's got that same old dream |
| [01:32.76] |
To have big money and fancy things |
| [01:35.43] |
Drive a brand new benz, keep your banck right here |
| [01:38.07] |
Never hear me stutter once because i talk real clear |
| [01:40.83] |
It's on you, homeboy, watcha gonna do? |
| [01:43.62] |
You can take my advice and start workin', fool |
| [01:46.23] |
Or you can close your ears and run your mouth |
| [01:49.02] |
And one day, homeboy, ya soon find out |
| [01:51.72] |
Life is too short |
| [01:52.41] |
Too short |
| [01:52.59] |
Life is too short |
| [01:52.95] |
Life is too short, would you agree? |
| [02:16.20] |
While i'm livin' my life, don't mess with me |
| [02:18.93] |
It's been a long time, baby, since i first got down |
| [02:21.78] |
But i still keep makin' these funky sounds |
| [02:24.24] |
Cause i don't stop rappin', that's my theme |
| [02:27.48] |
I make a lot of money, do you know what i mean? |
| [02:29.88] |
Like this, complicated ya must stay up |
| [02:32.67] |
Ya asked a simple question boy, don't say "what?" |
| [02:35.25] |
Ya only live once and ya callin' it hell |
| [02:38.46] |
Policeman tryin' to take ya to jail |
| [02:40.89] |
You could give a man time but you don't know |
| [02:43.95] |
I a matter of time, i'll be runnin' the show |
| [02:46.23] |
Now another young buck wants to be on top |
| [02:49.29] |
Makin' big money, slangin' hop |
| [02:51.72] |
The task force tryin' ta peel your cap |
| [02:54.51] |
Turn around, homeboy, ya better watch your back |
| [02:57.15] |
Life is too short |
| [02:58.08] |
Too short |
| [02:58.26] |
Life is too short |
| [03:08.13] |
You can take back all the things you give |
| [03:10.92] |
But ya can't take back the days you live |
| [03:13.47] |
Life is to some peole who've been on earth |
| [03:16.26] |
Livin' every single day for what it's worth |
| [03:19.17] |
I live my life just how i please |
| [03:21.84] |
Satisfy one person i know, that's me |
| [03:24.36] |
Work hard for the things i achieve in life |
| [03:27.48] |
And never rap fake when i'm on the mike |
| [03:29.79] |
Cause if a dream is all you got, homeboy |
| [03:32.52] |
Ya gotta turn that dream into the real mccoy |
| [03:35.43] |
Not time to waste, just get on that case |
| [03:38.22] |
Ya can't be down 'cause ya need to taste |
| [03:40.86] |
A good life livin' like a king on a throne |
| [03:43.68] |
Gettin' everything ya want and tryin' to have all your own |
| [03:46.32] |
So life |
| [03:47.34] |
Don't be stupid though |
| [03:48.93] |
Cause when ya waste it, you'll know |
| [03:51.57] |
Life is |
| [03:51.72] |
Life is |
| [03:52.11] |
All right, that's it |
