Karaoké Life Is...Too Short Too Short

I remember how it all began

I used to sing dirty raps to my Eastside fans

Back then I knew you couldn't stop this rap

No M.C. could rock like that

Then the new style came the bass got deeper

You gave up the mic and bought you a beeper

Do you wanna rap or sell coke

Brothers like you ain't never broke

People wanna say it's just my time

Brothers like me had to work for mine

Eight years on the mic 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

Life is

Life is to some people unbearable

Committing suicide and that's terrible

Was it much too much or nothing big

If you 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 bank right here

Never hear me stutter once 'cos I talk real clear

It's on you homeboy whatcha 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

Life is

Life is too short would you agree

While I'm living 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

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

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

Life is complicated you must stay up

You're 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

In 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' to peel your cap

Turn around homeboy you better watch your back

Life is

Life is

You can take back all the things you give

But you can't take back the days you live

Life is to some people heaven on earth

Livin' every single day for what it's worth

I live my life just how I please

Satisfying 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 mic

'Cos if a dream is all you got homeboy

You gotta turn that dream into the real McCoy

No time to waste just get on that case

Can't be down 'cos you need to taste a good life

Livin' like a king on a throne

Getting everything you want and trying to handle your own

It's your life don't be stupid though

'Cos when you waste it you'll know life is

Life is

Alright that's it
