Life Is ...Too $hort

Life Is ...Too $hort - Too $hort

I remember how it all began

I used to sing dirty raps to my East Side fans

Back then I knew ya couldn't stop this rap

No M C could rock like that

Then the new style came the bass got deeper

Ya gave up the mike and bought you a beeper

Do ya wanna rap or sell coke

Brothers like you ain't never been broke

People wanna say it's just my time

Brothers like me had to work for mine

Eight years on the mike and I'm not jokin'

Sir Too Short comin' straight from Oakland

California home of the rock

Eight woofers in the trunk beatin' down the block

Short dog I'm that rappin' man

I said it before and I'll say it again

Life is too short

Too short

Life is too short

Life is to some people unbearable

Committin' suicide and that's terrible

Was it much too much or nothing' big

If ya live my life you'd be fightin' to live

Life is to me my main asset

I be doin' all right and keep it just like that

Chill out at the house and pump that bass

I'm tryin' to get rich as I rock the place

Everybody's got that same old dream

To have big money and fancy things

Drive a brand new Benz keep your banck right here

Never hear me stutter once because I talk real clear

It's on you homeboy watcha gonna do

You can take my advice and start workin' fool

Or you can close your ears and run your mouth

And one day homeboy ya soon find out

Life is too short

Too short

Life is too short

Life is too short would you agree

While I'm livin' my life don't mess with me

It's been a long time baby since I first got down

But I still keep makin' these funky sounds

Cause I don't stop rappin' that's my theme

I make a lot of money do you know what I mean

Like this complicated ya must stay up

Ya asked a simple question boy don't say What

Ya only live once and ya callin' it hell

Policeman tryin' to take ya to jail

You could give a man time but you don't know

I a matter of time I'll be runnin' the show

Now another young buck wants to be on top

Makin' big money slangin' hop

The task force tryin' ta peel your cap

Turn around homeboy ya better watch your back

Life is too short

Too short

Life is too short

You can take back all the things you give

But ya can't take back the days you live

Life is to some peole who've been on earth

Livin' every single day for what it's worth

I live my life just how I please

Satisfy one person I know that's me

Work hard for the things I achieve in life

And never rap fake when I'm on the mike

Cause if a dream is all you got homeboy

Ya gotta turn that dream into the real McCoy

Not time to waste just get on that case

Ya can't be down 'cause ya need to taste

A good life livin' like a king on a throne

Gettin' everything ya want and tryin' to have all your own

So life

Don't be stupid though

Cause when ya waste it you'll know

Life Is

Life Is

All right that's it
