That's Why - Too $hort

Yeah we gettin real on this album y'all You know I'm hearin all these

Rumors out here bout they ran $hort Dogg up outta East Oakland Ni**a

Moved to Atlanta ain't got no mo love in the town I got much love in

Oakland y'all you know what I'm sayin I been doin this sh*t fo years

So I'm a tell it to you juss like it happened B**CH

I don't stop rappin

Ever since the very first day

I grabbed the microphone made a funky a** tape

I had sixteen hoes

Suckin ten toes

Game from the "O"

An any real pimp knows

The only love hoes get is what they paid fo

Gimme my scratch

What the f**k I'm a stay fo

I gotta make moves b**ch

Stack some G's

From the whole stroll

To my fax machine

I got money comin in from everywhere

From New York

To L A

To the mutha f**kin Bay

It's true

I'm the man G

I'm underground 106 can't ban me

All on the air sayin they don't f**k wit me no mo

I go back wit rap like K-P-O-O

From the very first time I grabbed the mic

Niggaz smokin burner

Ready to fight

I don't promote violence

I'm from Oakland where the real kick it

You might get killed ni**a

Or make a mill ticket

Move down south cuz the town is wild

Now the radio jocks wanna clown my style

I raised too many rappers you support

Ask 'em who they grew up on TOO $HORT

F**k all that black ball sh*t it won't last

KMEL y'all can kiss my a**

That's why the town got rid 'o $hort

It all started back when C & H

Went to T & B tryin to playa hate

I flipped a brand new Lexus

93

Joda Balls called me up said ya lyin to me

He said I heard you an Ran got the cash an split it

If I don't get my cut

You mutha f**kaz gonna get it

It was thirteen G's all mine

Didn't give Teddy Gram one dime

Now listen real close cuz it might be

Hard to follow

Chris told Ted it was fifty thousand dollaz

Sh*t sound petty

An it is

But that's how it goes when you in show biz

Niggaz fallin out

Should be makin millions

Instead of studios

We seein lawyers in buildings

Then we stop speakin

Sh*t got funky

I don't give a f**k

Mutha f**ka get my money

I ain't never been a hoe you can't pimp me

I do all the work while you pimp me

I tried to buy him out

But right about then

They let the lions out

Niggaz start eatin that sh*t up

You shoulda never listened

I'm always on this money makin mission

Sold a car an a truck in Oakland fo that Lex

Jock loaned me five an I was rollin that b**ch

That's why the town got rid 'o $hort

Don't believe everythang you hear ni**a

I went to the freak-nik

Sh*t turned me out

Came back fo jack the rapper

Bought me a house

That was August '93 time to dip

I hade warrants in the town an I was hot as sh*t

Everytime I got stopped

Ni**a went to jail

Treat me bad cuz I was hangin wit criminals

I wanted to buy me a house in the Oakland hills

Nice lil sumpthin fo a half a mill

That's was right around the time Chris hooked Dru Down

The Luniz came through an them tricks got clowned

Rappin Ron tore 'em up on the freestyle tip

An niggaz ain't ran nobody outta sh*t

Then they put it on the town

Sh*t got real

When you was in the fourth grade I had a record deal

You got one hit record now you ballin

You make one fake album you'll be fallin

An that sh*t don't apply to me

Present or past

You can meet me at the mall an get my autograph

Or you can flash back

If you can do all that

Me Fred Benz

An Freddy Craps

Smokin burner upstairs in hot lips house

It's been fifteen years an I ain't played out

They playin Too $hort steppin on a Chevy pedal

Back in the days KMEL played heavy metal

That's why the town got rid 'o $hort

That's why the town got rid 'o $hort

Niggaz shootin at the studio late at night

Seen a Charokee

Started shootin at Spice

At the E-40 picnic out in the park

Niggaz gather round fo some sh*t to start

They had bullets wit my name

But we never got to me

See me sucka mutha f**ka

Shootin at the street

It was me

Boo Howard an Jock

A full clip

One in the chamber an it blockin T B

Still tryin to be my pimp

I could lose my life

Or give my money to him

I'd rather die before you use me

I tried to buy him out

The ni**a sued me

An that's where it stands right now y'all Fo the mutha f**kaz that

Don't know like the Notorious say "If you don't know now you know "
