Too Short - Life Is Too $hort Lyrics
I remember how it all beganI used to sing dirty raps to my east side fansBack then I knew ya couldnt stop this rapNo m.c. could rock like thatThen the new style came, the bass got deeperYa gave up the mike and bought you a beeperDo ya wanna rap or sell coke?Brothers like you aint never been brokePeople wanna say its just my timeBrothers like me had to work for mineEight years on the mike and Im not jokinSir too short comin straight from oaklandCalifornia, home of the rockEight woofers in the trunk, beatin down the blockShort dog, Im that rappin manI said it before and I ll say it againLife is too shortToo shortLife is too shortLife is to some people unbearableCommittin suicide and thats terribleWas it much too much or nothing big?If ya live my life, youd be fightin to liveLife is to me my main assetI be doin all right and keep it just like thatChill out at the house and pump that bassIm tryin to get rich as I rock the placeEverybodys got that same old dreamTo have big money and fancy thingsDrive a brand new benz, keep your banck right hereNever hear me stutter once because I talk real clearIts on you, homeboy, watcha gonna do?You can take my advice and start workin, foolOr you can close your ears and run your mouthAnd one day, homeboy, ya soon find outLife is too shortToo shortLife is too shortLife is too short, would you agree?While Im livin my life, dont mess with meIts been a long time, baby, since I first got downBut I still keep makin these funky soundsCause I dont stop rappin, thats my themeI make a lot of money, do you know what I mean?Like this, complicated ya must stay upYa asked a simple question boy, dont say what?Ya only live once and ya callin it hellPoliceman tryin to take ya to jailYou could give a man time but you dont knowI a matter of time, Ill be runnin the showNow another young buck wants to be on topMakin big money, slangin hopThe task force tryin ta peel your capTurn around, homeboy, ya better watch your backLife is too shortToo shortLife is too shortYou can take back all the things you giveBut ya cant take back the days you liveLife is to some peole whove been on earthLivin every single day for what its worthI live my life just how I pleaseSatisfy one person I know, thats meWork hard for the things I achieve in lifeAnd never rap fake when Im on the mikeCause if a dream is all you got, homeboyYa gotta turn that dream into the real mccoyNot time to waste, just get on that caseYa cant be down cause ya need to tasteA good life livin like a king on a throneGettin everything ya want and tryin to have all your ownSo lifeDont be stupid thoughCause when ya waste it, youll knowLife isLife isAll right, thats it
