Life Is ...Too $hort

[00:12.81] I remember how it all began
[00:15.54] I used to sing dirty raps to my East side fans
[00:18.23] Back then I knew you couldn't stop this rap
[00:20.91] No M.C. could rock like that
[00:23.66] Then the new style came, the bass got deeper
[00:27.36] You gave up the mike and bought you a beeper
[00:30.05] Do you wanna rap or sell Coke?
[00:32.71] Brothers like you ain't never been broke
[00:34.57] People wanna say it's just my time
[00:38.12] Brothers like me had to work for mine
[00:40.89] Eight years on the mike and I'm not jokin'
[00:43.53] Sir Too Short comin' straight from Oakland
[00:46.22] California, home of the rock
[00:48.97] Eight woofers in the trunk, beatin' down the block
[00:51.69] Short Dog, I'm that rappin' man
[00:54.30] I said it before and I 'll say it again
[00:56.11] Life is too short, too short
[01:02.52] Life is too short, too short
[01:07.92] Life is to some people is unbearable
[01:10.60] Committin' suicide and that's terrible
[01:13.39] Was it much too much or nothing' big?
[01:16.06] If you live my life, you'd be fightin' to live
[01:17.86] Life is to me my main asset
[01:21.54] I be doin' all right and keep it just like that
[01:24.21] Chill out at the house and pump that bass
[01:26.97] I'm tryin' to get rich as I rock the place
[01:29.61] Everybody's got that same old dream
[01:32.32] To have big money and fancy things
[01:35.14] Drive a brand new Benz, keep your bank right here
[01:37.84] Never hear me stutter once 'cause I talk real clear
[01:40.51] It's on you, homeboy, watcha gonna do?
[01:43.25] You can take my advice and start workin', fool
[01:45.98] Or you can close your ears and run your mouth
[01:48.63] And one day, homeboy, you soon find out
[01:51.36] Life is too short, too short
[01:56.85] Life is too short, too short
[02:13.99] Life is too short, would you agree?
[02:15.72] While I'm livin' my life, don't mess with me
[02:18.47] It's been a long time, baby, since I first got down
[02:21.17] But I still keep makin' these funky sounds
[02:23.95] 'Cause I don't stop rappin', that's my theme
[02:26.66] I make a lot of money, do you know what I mean?
[02:29.30] Like this, complicated you must stay up
[02:32.07] You asked a simple question boy, don't say, "What?"
[02:35.43] You only live once and you callin' it hell
[02:37.20] Policeman tryin' to take you to jail
[02:40.87] You could give a man time but you don't know
[02:42.65] In a matter of time, I'll be runnin' the show
[02:46.32] Now another young buck wants to be on top
[02:48.10] Makin' big money, slangin' hop
[02:51.75] The task force tryin' to peel your cap
[02:53.51] Turn around, homeboy, you better watch your back
[02:56.27] Life is too short
[03:02.51] Life is
[03:08.06] You can take back all the things you give
[03:10.78] But you can't take back the days you live
[03:13.49] Life is to some people who've been on earth
[03:16.17] Livin' every single day for what it's worth
[03:18.80] I live my life just how I please
[03:21.53] Satisfy one person I know, that's me
[03:24.21] Work hard for the things I achieve in life
[03:26.91] And never rap fake when I'm on the mike
[03:29.78] 'Cause if a dream is all you got, homeboy
[03:32.40] You gotta turn that dream into the real McCoy
[03:35.15] No time to waste, just get on that case
[03:37.85] You can't be down 'cause you need to taste
[03:40.55] A good life livin' like a king on a throne
[03:43.25] Gettin' everything you want and tryin' to have all your own
[03:45.98] So life, don't be stupid though
[03:48.72] 'Cause when you waste it, you'll know
[03:51.42] Life is, life is
[04:01.93] All right, that's it
[04:24.58]
