Short But Funky Lyrics - Short Dog's In The House - Too $hort

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
