I remember how it all began I used to sing dirty raps to my East Side fans Back then I knew ya couldnt stop this rap No M.C. could rock like that Then the new style came, the bass got deeper Ya gave up the mike and bought you a beeper Do ya wanna rap or sell coke? Brothers like you aint never broke People wanna say its just my time Brothers like me had to work for mine Eight years on the mike and Im 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, Im that rappin man I said it before and Ill say it again Life is (Too short, too short) Life is (Too short, too short) Life is to some people, unbearable Committin suicide and thats terrible Was it much too much or nothing big? If ya live my life, youd 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 Im tryin to get rich as I rock the place Everybodys 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 because I talk real clear Its on you, homeboy, watcha 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 (Too short, too short) Life is (Too short, too short) Life is too short, would you agree? While Im livin my life, dont mess with me Its been a long time, baby, since I first got down But I still keep makin these funky sounds Cause I dont stop rappin, thats my theme I make a lot of money, do you know what I mean? Like this, complicated, ya must stay up Ya asked a simple question, boy, dont 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 dont know In a matter of time, Ill be runnin the show Now another young buck wants to be on top Makin big money, slangin hop The task force tryin ta peel your cap Turn around, homeboy, ya better watch your back Life is (Too short) Life is You can take back all the things you give But ya cant take back the days you live Life is to some people whove been on earth Livin every single day for what its worth I live my life just how I please Satisfy one person, I know thats me Work hard for the things I achieve in life And never rap fake when Im on the mike Cause if a dream is all you got, homeboy Ya gotta turn that dream into the real McCoy No time to waste, just get on that case Cant be down cause ya need to taste A good life livin like a king on a throne Gettin everything ya want and tryin to have all your own So life, dont be stupid though Cause when ya waste it, youll know Life is, life is LIFE IS CALLED A CANDLE...
