[00:37.11] Moving up! East Oakland, yeah, that's right
[00:43.30] Oakland, California, west coast life
[00:45.82] You either play the game or you smoke the pipe
[00:48.69] I became a rapper at the age 14
[00:51.36] No gold ropes, no diamond rings
[00:53.82] But look at me now, ten years later
[00:56.43] Ask any MC if I rap greater
[00:59.05] See I'm known in Fresno, even the big o
[01:02.10] From San Diego to Sacramento
[01:04.41] They'll tell you yes, wherever you go
[01:07.14] And I bet my life won't one say no
[01:10.50] Ain't nothing like a too $hort fan
[01:13.14] I ain't tripping, you can play it again
[01:15.72] Don't fight the feeling, life is me
[01:18.47] I rock shows in Nashville, Tennessee
[01:21.11] It wasn't heehaw, so don't laugh
[01:24.03] At the good old' boys getting autographs
[01:26.52] In Cincinnati, I know you heard
[01:29.23] I got fined for the curse words
[01:31.41] It's true, baby, so, so unique
[01:34.04] Might slap your man, or just thump your freak
[01:37.38] I come to your town, I'm not under
[01:39.90] I want your name and your telephone number
[01:42.68] You think I'm faking, but I'll call
[01:45.38] We only got one night to do it all
[01:47.55] I know baby it's such a pity
[01:50.74] Tomorrow night, we hit another city
[01:52.89] Cold macking in the game is all we do
[01:55.94] Me and the boys called the dangerous crew
[01:58.51] I used to be local til I signed with jive
[02:01.69] Too $hort then went nationwide
[02:04.25] I went to Georgia with the too $hort sound
[02:07.02] I went down like Bobby Brown
[02:09.62] I said a rap and they took me to jail
[02:12.14] Pulled out my bank, and made bail
[02:14.88] This is my story, it could not wait
[02:17.44] It all started out in the golden state
[02:19.89] California, where I was born and raised
[02:22.84] I used to play the drum in my younger days
[02:25.15] I just hit that beat any way I can
[02:28.09] Smooth high-stepping in the marching band
[02:30.99] I turned in my drum and I started to rap
[02:33.35] Now beats I make, make my bank so fat
[02:35.94] It's too $hort, on the mic tonight
[02:39.42] Pennsylvania, can you see the light?
[02:42.03] From Chicago, to Indiana
[02:44.66] From Mississippi, to Alabama
[02:47.35] Louisiana, even Texas
[02:50.15] Females, call me sexist
[02:52.70] But don't they love it, you know me
[02:55.56] Freak nasty in a room trying to blow me
[02:57.60] Like engine, engine, number nine
[03:00.69] Homies run a train, standing in line
[03:03.36] If that train jumps off the track
[03:06.08] Then my brother you will catch the clap
[03:08.97] From Colorado, to Arizona
[03:11.82] All the way back home to California
[03:13.22] In Chattanooga, they know the tip
[03:15.97] Short dog in the house, I'm that flip
[03:18.76] Getting clip, or playing pool
[03:21.44] I can't help it, I'm so damn cool
[03:24.36] Call me dog or leave me alone
[03:26.01] I'm riding in a Cadillac Fleetwood chrome
[03:29.76] With too clean, behind the wheel
[03:33.28] I'm riding shotgun, rapping for real
[03:35.36] Total boss in the back, give me super side
[03:38.25] They like to roll 'em fat cause you know we ride
[03:40.63] To the beat y'all, and it don't stop
[03:43.34] It goes on cause I don't stop rapping
[03:45.80] Now you know, nothing but the dog in me
[03:47.98] You make love to me and I still act stingy
[03:50.74] Oh, should I pay you? You must be tripping
[03:53.49] I didn't buy you and I sure ain't renting
[03:56.23] I said I love you cause you gave me head
[03:58.98] I didn't love you when we got out the bed
[04:02.11] If I could love you, you know I would
[04:04.86] But what you giving, ain't all that good
[04:08.25] A little southern hospitality
[04:10.96] You'd better try to get away from me
[04:13.02] I love money, and I just can't fake it
[04:16.05] I go to magic city and the girls dance naked
[04:18.73] I'm somewhat of a hero by the way I rap
[04:21.72] But I'm living like an oak town mark
[04:23.74] I'm in the house y'all, I'm like? peeser? y'all
[04:26.50] Rat heads get nothing but cheese, y'all
[04:29.10] Or get slapped, put up your dukes
[04:32.11] I kick you in your ass with my Nike boots
[04:34.62] Some rappers try to be just like too $hort
[04:37.33] Can hang with the dog, you'd better stay on the porch
[04:40.69] In Minnesota, Virginia Beach
[04:43.48] Wisconsin, I got freaks!
[04:46.17] Atlanta, little rock
[04:48.86] Louisville, it don't stop
[04:51.40] Kansas City, missouri
[04:54.13] I rock the house in east st. Louis
[04:56.94] Detroit, it's like Oakland
[04:59.66] It's a black thing, and I'm a black man
[05:02.19] To all my brothers in the U.S.A
[05:04.79] Too $hort baby, don't even play
[05:07.00] Woofers in the trunk, blasting the beat
[05:10.29] I cross the bridge and hit third street
[05:12.76] Years ago, I rocked that joint
[05:15.04] I say what's up to my homies from hunter's point
[05:17.69] We go a long way back, it's always been like that
[05:20.40] In the days that short dog was so young at the rap
[05:23.13] I'm in the house!
[05:23.80] Moving up! East Oakland, yeah, that's right
