That's right, album number ten, Short Dawg's in the house
|
It's gettin close to the end y'all
|
But we gonna kick it like this on the last album
|
|
Verse One: Too $hort
|
|
Now let me holler at ya partner, spit this game
|
in you ear for a minute, quit complaining
|
Bout how you can't spend it cause you ain't got it
|
You got what it takes but not enough to get started
|
I hope you get the message, no it's not a test it's
|
Just me ridin legit, they can't arrest me or bust me
|
I'm still hungry, I want some more stuff
|
Get fat and watch my whole crew blow up
|
So get yours, and buy my new album
|
Peep the game and don't be like Calvin
|
Get everything you want, get real, get you mail
|
Get your girl to make bail and get your ass out of jail
|
You should be gettin it, everything you want
|
Everything you dreamed of, never have to front
|
you shoulf be gettin it, gettin money
|
I'm talking bout you black, don't laugh it aint funny
|
You should get a good lawyer, like Johnny Cochran
|
Swear to tell the truth, hell no I didn't pop him
|
Get your kids in school, so they can get an education
|
Get a degree, and take a vacation
|
You see I got all my game from the streets of California
|
Young millionaire with no high school diploma
|
Livin real good, taking care of my folks
|
roll up a fat one for the players to smoke
|
Short Dawg in the house, I know you aint trippin
|
Cause Life is Too $hort you gotta Get In Where You Fit In
|
Stop looking for what you never seem to find
|
It ain't what you think you got to read between the lines
|
Cause life ain't long, for a young black man
|
Tryin to make money doing all he can
|
Sellin dope don't ya hope he would go to class
|
But the boy makes money and he makes it fast
|
with the twenties on top and the fifties on the bottom
|
I fuck the top notches oh yes we got em
|
It's been a long time since I first got down
|
But I still keep makin these funky sounds
|
Get your money man
|
Get yours
|
|
Chorus: P-Funk
|
|
You should be gettin it
|
Get it while the gettin is good, get it while you can
|
you should be gettin it
|
Get it while the gettin is good
|
|
Verse Two: Too $hort
|
|
I know you tired of being broke just hanging out
|
You gotta lot a dreams but you can't get out
|
The first thing you need to do is set your self some goals
|
Think positive, everything else is old
|
and work hard, never stop hustlin
|
Cause they just love to see the black man strugglin
|
(So what are you saying Todd?)
|
It's time to come up, put your dollar bills in the air
|
He said meet me at the White House and I was there
|
Cause I'm one in a million, black man rising
|
They wanna keep me down but I always surprise em
|
Spend my money in the hood, I know it's all good
|
and you should do the same I told you peep the game
|
Too $hort, you know I'm the man
|
I lend my brother a hand cause I know I can
|
I keep going and goin but I'm not the pink bunny
|
I'm not beatin on a drum I never stop thinkin money
|
I'm gettin all I can if you don't ya slip
|
I can't wait to get to heaven just to have a grip
|
When I was broke, I couldn't afford a meal
|
But now I'm now rich I can't be fake I gots to keep it real
|
It's been a long time baby since I first got down
|
But it still keep making these funky sounds
|
|
Chorus: P-Funk
|
|
You should be gettin it
|
Get it while the gettin is good, get it while you can
|
you should be gettin it
|
Get it while the gettin is good
|
|
(I earned my respect in the street
|
The ghetto's been good to me
|
I'm never going to turn my back
|
The true and living so I got to kick the facts)(x2)
|
(keep repeating chorus til end)
|
