Short but Funky

[00:09.86] Life is too short, but now it's kind of funky
[00:12.25] I make the beats for me and my homies
[00:14.66] Newspaper reporters and others always ask me
[00:17.46] Why I'm X-rated and I rap so nasty
[00:19.58] When I was a teen, I did nothin' else
[00:21.92] But pick up a pen and express myself
[00:24.52] The things I wrote were obscene and kind of dirty
[00:26.94] But mama always said the truth couldn't hurt me
[00:29.49] She also said that it would set me free
[00:31.83] I guess she was R-I-G-H-T on the nail
[00:34.70] 'Cause now I'm out making my mail
[00:36.62] It all started out from a freaky tale
[00:39.33] If that's what sells, then I'm a stick with it
[00:41.48] Short Dog ain't changing, so forget it
[00:44.07] You can sell out if you want to, homie
[00:47.26] But I'ma stay short but funky
[00:50.99] Funky, funky
[00:58.13] Funky
[01:00.88] Funky, funky
[01:07.97] Funky
[01:08.36] It don't stop, just call it verse two
[01:11.03] It's Short Dog baby from the Dangerous Crew
[01:13.36] Not your average everyday fake rap on the micro'
[01:16.05] I might say something that your mother don't like so
[01:18.40] Don't play it loud if she's around to see
[01:20.86] But you can play this 'cause it's rated PG
[01:23.18] When I'm rated X I'm just having my fun
[01:26.02] I bring a smile to each and every one
[01:27.99] But there's a serious side in everything I say
[01:30.65] Life is too short for you to wait 'til the next day
[01:33.02] Just straighten up your life and you can start right here
[01:35.44] Drop the cocaine and the bottles of beer
[01:38.01] People always say it ain't right to preach
[01:40.38] But take my advice, get wise and reach for the sky
[01:43.69] So you can live like a king, homie
[01:46.09] And I'ma stay short but funky
[01:49.59] Funky, funky
[01:57.03] Funky
[01:59.43] Funky, funky
[02:06.69] Funky
[02:09.36] Funky, funky
[02:16.44] Funky
[02:19.11] Funky, funky
[02:26.30] Funky
[02:27.13] You never catch me on the mic rappin' a dance tune
[02:29.58] I like it kind of mellow with the sound of the bass boom
[02:31.95] The style is mine, I've been doing it for ten
[02:34.33] You might say it's simple, but I'm making my ends
[02:36.72] See, I don't trip on a punk 'cause I jack him
[02:38.93] Too $hort plus the cuss words equals platinum
[02:41.89] What would I look like dancing on a stage?
[02:44.08] I wave my hand and do it like the old days
[02:46.45] But some dumb fool want to take it out of hand
[02:49.05] With 50 million dancers and a big old band
[02:51.21] That ain't me, I'm from the old school
[02:53.85] Play the instrumental, get the mic, and I'm cool
[02:56.01] 'Cause I'm an Oaktown mack, and it's like that, so
[02:58.68] It all comes out in my records and my stage show
[03:01.26] In my category, I'm the one and only
[03:04.49] And I'ma stay short but funky (funky)
[03:07.95] Funky (hey Al, that's it), funky
[03:15.49] Funky
[03:17.72] Funky (baby Jesus), funky
[03:25.26] Funky
[03:27.56] Funky, funky
[03:35.01] Funky
[03:37.25] Funky, funky (Dog baby from the Dangerous Crew)
[03:45.05] Funky
[03:47.13] Funky, funky
[03:54.58] Funky
[03:57.24] Funky, funky
[04:04.19] Fu-funky
[04:06.82] Funky, funky
[04:10.64]
