Rhymes
    (专辑: Life Is... Too Short - 1988)
    
    Without a 
doubt I'm coming back and if you don't know  Call me S. I. R. T. double O 
 I 
like to say these rhymes, I 
do it all the 
time  I 
make my own damn beat now all the 
money is mine  I 
carry big fat WIVES, I 
treat my girls like guys  Ask 'em "who do they love?" and they all say TIDE  I'm just an M.C. rapper and nothing else  I 
keep rhyming and I 
do it by myself  Could you be like me? I 
rap my none stop rhymes  You will never hear pause when I 
say these lines  So go on and on, I'm sir Too Short  Just what you've been looking for  Like PCP or pure cocaine  DJ universe got you SPRUNG IN THE GAME  You make money, hear my rap from coast to coast  From host to host, I 
hear the 
toast:  "Too Short, love the 
way you that hit  here's to you, keep rhyming and boy don't quit"  I 
say This is how it goes when I 
say my rap  Most times when I 
rhyme wouldn't be like that  'cause the 
way I 
write rhymes you will comprehend  I'll keep rapping to the 
very end  And if you call me fake I'll say so what?  I 
got you standing and nodding like you just shot up  So boy straighting up I'm still rapping  Coming at you fresh. Do you know what happened?  I'm saying rhymes messing with your mind  I 
didn't want your girl 'cause she really ain't fine  I 
took her to a 
motel could've been a 
hotel  It costs me 20 dollars but I 
did it so well  She had to tell your sister, your sister told you  Now the 
whole damn town calls me playboy too  I 
got rhymes, keep 'em coming, they don't stop  I'm looking at an empty page about to fill it up  I 
write only the 
truth, speak only to you  So if I 
tell you to say something then you know what to do  I 
got rhymes, keep 'em coming, they never stop  I 
live in California, drive a 
drop top  Roll by the 
beach, look at the 
freaks  Jump in my car, I 
do it every week  DJ's who know call me Mister Short  All you wanna be mothers get no child support  I'm Too Short baby getting rich  Get on the 
mic and then say... Like left to right  Right to left girl stealing your heart is like petty theft  Like 10 to 9, 3 
to 2 
 I'll always be one up on you  Like nightfall makes the 
sun go down  CRAZY RACK laid the 
beat changed your life around  From the 
sea to the 
mountains the 
mountains to the 
sea  All you're gonna do is wanna rock this beat  It's so rough so tough when I 
talk this stuff  When I 
get on the 
mic I 
can't get enough  I'm the 
rapper of the 
season, fresh and decent  All my raps are smooth and decent  I'm that rapper known place to place  For the 
hardest raps with the 
hardest bass  You see I 
rap all the 
time, that's the 
point  When I 
walk in the 
place I 
just jam the 
joint  Singing old Too Short's on the 
microphone  The 
beat's so fresh can't leave me alone  You see I 
rap so cool I 
will not shout  I 
keep coming so hard I 
might knock you out  If you battle with Short that's the 
chance you take  So you better come fresh and don't be fake  All you weak MC's with your weak drum beats  Telling all your people you can hang with me  Count 1 
to 10 count 10 to 20 and I'll just keep on making money  Life is Too Short I 
don't stop  I'm hooked on money like a 
junkie on TOP  I 
got to make it every day, I 
won't go broke  Ask me am I 
rich and I'll say "no"  I'm your homeboy Too Short back again  Putting Oakland on the 
map my rap will never end  I'd like to send a 
special thanks to the 
dangerous crew  For believing in me when they thought I 
was through  I 
got rhymes, I 
keep 'em coming  I'm on the 
mic, I 
won't stop rapping till it comes out right  And when it's BEATIN' I'll just say "let's roll"  I 
make another record and buy some gold  I 
keep rhyming and I 
do it by myself  I'm like a 
one man crew, you see I 
don't need help  I 
get the 
job done so all you fake rappers, MC's rap masters  Give it up leave that rapping to me  Realizing young buck you can't rock that beat  I 
rap on the 
mic and you'll believe  Nothing ain't kicking like the 
BIG OLD C 
 It's just one hard rapper spitting a 
rap  Not 3 
or 4 
sucka's or a 
couple of saps  Like born to Mack I'll cash a 
check  Walking 'round like a 
fool living up to his rep  I'll tell you life ain't long  What you waiting for?  Thought you wanted to be like Too Short?
