Too Short - Short but Funky текст песни

Verse 1:

Life is too short but now its kind of funky

I make the beats for me and my homies

Newspaper reporters and others always ask me

Why Im 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 couldnt 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 Im out making my mail

It all started out from a freaky tale

If thats what sells then Im a stick with it

Short dog aint changing, so forget it

You can sell out if you want to, homie

But Im a stay short but funky

Verse 2:

Dont stop, just call it verse two

Its short dog baby from the dangerous crew

Not your average everyday fake rap on the micro

I might say something that your mother dont like so

Dont play it loud if shes around to see

But you can play this cause its rated pg

When Im rated x Im just having my fun

I bring a smile to each and every one

But theres 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 aint right to preach

But take my advice, get wise and reach for the sky

So you can live like a king homie

And Im a stay short but funky

Verse 3:

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, Ive been doing it for ten

You might say its simple, but Im making my ends

See I dont 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 aint me, Im from the old school

Play the instrumental, get the mic and Im cool

Cause Im an oaktown mack and its like that, so

It all comes out in my records and my stage show

In my category Im the one and only

And Im a stay short but funky

Hey yo, thats it

Baby jesus

Dog baby from the dangerous crew
