Too Short

Too Short - Short But Funky lyrics

Verse 1:

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

Verse 2:

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

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, 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
