Lyrical Analysis of...
Ain't it too short?
- [Verse 1]
- I remember how it all began
- I used to sing dirty raps to my Eastside fans
- Back then, I knew you couldn't stop this rap
- No M.C. could rock like that
- Then the new style came, the bass got deeper
- You gave up the mic and bought you a beeper
- Do you wanna rap or sell coke?
- Brothers like you ain't never 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 Automatic comin' straight from Cleveland,
- 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
- 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 you 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 'cause I talk real clear
- It's on you, homeboy, whatcha 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]
- Life is too short
- Too short
- Life is too short
- Too short
- [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?
- Life is, complicated, you must stay up
- You're 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
- In 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' to peel your cap
- Turn around, homeboy, you better watch your back
- [Hook]
- Life is too short
- Life is...
- [Verse 4]
- You can take back all the things you give
- But you can't take back the days you live
- Life is to some people heaven on earth
- Livin' every single day for what it's worth
- I live my life just how I please
- Satisfying 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 mic
- 'Cause if a dream is all you got, homeboy
- You gotta turn that dream into the real McCoy
- No time to waste, just get on that case
- Can't be down 'cause you need to taste
- A good life, livin' like a king on a throne
- Getting everything you want and trying to handle your own
- It's your life, don't be stupid though
- 'Cause when you waste it, you'll know life is...
- Life is...
- Alright, that's it
