Verse 1:
|
Life is too short but now it's kind of funky
|
I make the beats for me and my homies
|
Newspaper reporters and others always ask me
|
Why I'm X-rated and I rap so nasty
|
When I was a teen I did nothing else
|
But pick up a pen and express myself
|
The things I wrote were obsene and kind of dirty
|
But mama always said the truth couldn't hurt me
|
She also said that it would set me free
|
I guess she was R-I-G-H-T on the nail
|
Cause now I'm out making my mail
|
It all started out from a freaky tale
|
If that's what sells then I'm a stick with it
|
Short Dog ain't changing, so forget it
|
You can sell out if you want to, homie
|
But I'm a stay short but funky
|
|
Verse 2:
|
Don't stop, just call it verse two
|
It's Short Dog baby from the Dangerous Crew
|
Not your average everyday fake rap on the micro
|
I might say something that your mother don't like so
|
Don't play it loud if she's around to see
|
But you can play this cause it's rated PG
|
When I'm rated X I'm just having my fun
|
I bring a smile to each and every one
|
But there's a serious side in everything I say
|
Life is too short for you to wait 'til the next day
|
Just straighten up your life and you can start right here
|
Drop the cocaine and the bottles of beer
|
People always say it ain't right to preach
|
But take my advice, get wise and reach for the sky
|
So you can live like a king homie
|
And I'm a stay short but funky
|
|
Verse 3:
|
You never catch me on the mic rappin' a dance tune
|
I like it kind of mellow with the sound of the bass boom
|
The style is mine, I've been doing it for ten
|
You might say it's simple, but I'm making my ends
|
See I don't trip on a punk cause I jack him
|
Too $hort plus the cuss words equals platinum
|
What would I look like dancing on a stage
|
I wave my hand and do it like the old days
|
But some dumb fool want to take it out of hand
|
With 50 million dancers and a big old band
|
That ain't me, I'm from the old school
|
Play the instrumental, get the mic and I'm cool
|
Cause I'm an Oaktown mack and it's like that, so
|
It all comes out in my records and my stage show
|
In my category I'm the one and only
|
And I'm a stay short but funky
|
|
Hey yo, that's it
|
Baby Jesus
|
|
Dog baby from the Dangerous Crew
|
