Lyrical Analysis of...
'Life Is Too Short'
- [Verse 1]
- I remember how it all began
- I used to sing dirty raps to my East Side fans
- Back then I knew ya couldn't stop this rap
- No M.C. could rock like that
- Then the new style came, the bass got deeper
- Ya gave up the mic and bought you a beeper
- Do ya wanna rap or sell coke?
- Brothers like you ain't never been broke
- People wanna say it's just my time
- Brothers like me had to work for mine
- Eight years on the mic and I'm 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, I'm that rappin' man
- I said it before and I 'll say it again
- [Hook]
- Life is too short
- Too short
- Life is too short
- [Verse 2]
- Life is to some people unbearable
- Committing suicide and that's terrible
- Was it much too much or nothing' big?
- If ya live my life, you'd 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
- I'm tryin' to get rich as I rock the place
- Everybody's 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
- It's 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
- [Hook]
- [Verse 3]
- Life is too short, would you agree?
- While I'm living my life, don't mess with me
- It's been a long time, baby, since I first got down
- But I still keep makin' these funky sounds
- Cause I don't stop rappin', that's 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, don't 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 don't know
- I a matter of time, I'll 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
- [Hook]
- You can take back all the things you give
- But ya can't take back the days you live
- Life is to some peole who've been on earth
- Livin' every single day for what it's worth
- I live my life just how I please
- Satisfy one person I know, that's me
- Work hard for the things I achieve in life
- And never rap fake when I'm on the mike
- Cause if a dream is all you got, homeboy
- Ya gotta turn that dream into the real McCoy
- Not time to waste, just get on that case
- Ya can't be down cause ya need to taste
- A good life livin' like a king on a throne
- Getting everything ya want and trying to have all your own
- It's your life
- Don't be stupid though
- Cause when you waste it
- You know
