| 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 |
