Life's Too Short (Live)

What's up, what's up, what's up, what's up, what's up, what's up
What's really going on?
Shout out to Manhathan
Life is you say too short
What's going on y'all, you know I had to come out here and kick it
Back home in the Bay, tryna see what's happenin'
Check this out, y'all
When I say "life is," I want you all to say "too short"
We gon' do it like this, check it out

Life is (too short), this right
Life is (too short)
Life is (too short), yeah
Life is (too short) way too short
So you know what
Now, if any of y'all remember the words to this song
If you know the words, I want you to sing along, we gon' do it like this
Everybody who knows the words, it goes a lil' somethin' like this

Now, 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 MC 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 dope?
Brothers like you ain't never been broke

Now, people wanna say it's just my time
But brothers like me had to work for mine
12 years on the mic and I'm not joking
Sir Too Short (coming straight from Oakland)

California, home of the rock
Eight woofers in the trunk, beating down the block
Short dog, I'm that rapping man
I said it before and I'll say it again

Life is (too short)
What is it? (Too short)
Yeah, life is (too short)
Now let me hear you say too short (too short)

Yeah, life to short, do the right thing, man
Don't waste your time sitting around here broke
Get your money fool, that's what I'm saying, yeah

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 making these funky sounds

'Cause I don't stop rapping and that's my theme
I make a lot of money, do you know what I mean?
Life is complicated, you must stay up
You asked a simple question, boy, don't say, "What?"

You only live once and ya calling it hell
Policeman trying to take ya to jail
You could give a nigga time, but you don't know
In a matter of time, I'll be running the show

Now another young brother wants to be on top
Making big money, slanging hop
The task force trying to peel your cap
Turn around, homeboy, you better watch your back
'Cause life is
