Too $hort quotes

My name is Short, my game is long

You better make the most of it, live to the fullest

Think positive and don't dwell on the BULLSHIT

I can't tell you no better

If you thinkin 'bout quittin, don't ever

I come from the city of dope

It couldn't be saved by John the Pope

And if I ego trip, and my head is fucked

I take my ass back, to where I grew up

And get real boy, it's never too late

Before I do like you and make a weak ass tape

People wanna say it's just my time

Brothers like me had to work for mine

If you live my life, you'd be fightin' to live

Do you wanna rap or sell coke?

Brothers like you ain't never broke

Abraham Lincoln got shot and died

Freed the slaves so they put him on the five

You betta stop trippin on dem stereotypes

Cause in the ghetto there's a good life

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

Every day I wonder just how I'll die

Only thing I know is how to survive

So just peep the game and don't call it crap

'Cause to me, life is one hard rap

The story I tell is so incomplete

Five kids in the house, no food to eat

There's only one rule in the real world

And that's to take care of you, only you and yours
