Short But Funky
(专辑: Short Dog's In The House - 1990)
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 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 You never catch me on the
mic rapping 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
