Short but Funky chords by Too $hort
Verse 1
Em
Life is too short but now
it's kind of funky

and my homies

and others always ask me

Am
Em
D
When I was a teen I did nothing else
Em

But pick up a pen and express myself
Em
The things I wrote were

obscene and kind of dirty
Em
D
But mama always said the truth
Am
couldn't hurt me

She also said that it would set me free
Em
I guess she was R-I-G-H-T

Cause now I'm out making my mail

Verse 3
Em
You never catch me on the mic
rappin' a dance tune
I like it kind of mellow with the
sound of the bass boom
The style is mine,
I've been doing it for ten
You might say it's simple,
but I'm making my ends
D
See I don't trip on a punk
Em
cause I jack him
Too short plus the cuss words
equals platinum
What would I look like dancing on a stage
D
Am
I wave my hand and do it like the old days
Em
But some dumb fool want
D
to take it out of hand
Am
Em
With fifty million dancers
D
and a big old band
Em
That ain't me,
D
I'm from the old school
Em
Play the instrumental,
Am
get the mic and I'm cool
Em
Cause I'm an Oaktown mack
D
Am
and it's like that, so
Em
It all comes out in my re
D
Am
cords and my stage show
Em
D
In my category I'm the one and only
Em
And I'm a stay short but funky
