These Are the Tales
Lyricist:Xavier Hargrove, Stuart Jordan, Todd Anthony Shaw
These are the tales These are the tales that I tell so well (Tune in to the History Channel) These are the tales (Learn a lesson biatch) These are the tales that I tell so well (Short Dog)
I'm thinkin' way back, it's been a long, long time In 1980 I wrote my first rhyme I like to spit a lot of game But back then, I was just sayin' my name
I had a record player on my stereo Got down on my knees with my radio From Oakland, California with some new shit I'm Sir Too Short, I'm bout to do this
In 1981, that's where it all begun We do it for the money, we don't rap for fun Five dolla's fo' a tape, Too Short and Freddy B Money in my pocket's all I ever need
It was me, Fred B and Freddy Brack Dipped the sermon sticks then we smoked them phat While we rapped about the bitches and all the ho's Can't be in the hole tryin' to ball without vogues
In '82 you was in the game With a Falcon, Cougar or a Mustang Me and Freddy B used to hit the turfs With a bag of tapes puttin' in work, biatch
In '83 you hit a house party A dolla' get you in and a dolla' fo' a drink I'm on the turntable smokin' get-right And at mid-night I'll be rappin' on the mic
I did the same thang, for the next two years That's why they say my name, when I come through here When I was Sixteen, I want'd to be a mack I went to Fremont High with Lil' D and Black
Young ballers in the town livin' real phat Never had the sack but I smoked a little crack Crushed up in the weed, we call 'em bass rock Caddies Goin' on them grimmies make them ho's call me daddy
These are the tales These are the tales that I tell so well These are the tales These are the tales that I tell so well
It's been fifteen years since that shit happened But Too Short don't stop rappin' In '85, I was on the right page Ten thousand niggaz, Short live on stage
Underground tapes was all they ever heard But the whole crowd sang along with me word for word And that changed everything Went to Seventy Five Girls and hooked up with Dean Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Real player-ism and that's no joke Snort a lot of coke with ho's that like to smoke I was makin' records but wasn't makin' money You can take it seriously or you can think it's funny
By '87, I was on my own, started Dangerous Music And I made the song 'These are the tales, the freaky tales' No radio or video or CD sales Six platinums in a row, Ice Cube and Cool J Who else did that shit? Short Dog from the Bay
These ho's try to play it safe But I been mackin' hard since eighty-eight And from eighty-nine to ninety-six I was rappin' on the mic talkin' shit about a bitch
I'll retire ten times and I'll still be here My old records sell about a half a mil' a year I say 'Bitch get naked' so pimpishly Spit rhymes through decades and centuries
And bitches just love my dirty mouth When I see you again I'ma cuss you out, biatch! That's my gift, now all you rappers get to say that shit I wont sue you, but that's the trademark I was a grown ass man when you was playin' in the park lil' nigga
These are the tales These are the tales that I tell so well These are the tales These are the tales that I tell so well
Now I'm in Atlanta I still love the O I gave you my bitch but you can't have my flow I guest appeared on 47 albums Fuck McDonald and fuck Calvin
I get money with Erick Sermon when I'm in New York I get respect, they call me Too Short I live swell in ATL, 'cause I'm a player We fuckin' hella ho's at X House in Decatur where it's greater
You know how we ride I got love for all niggaz from the EastSide It was me, Ant Banks and Shorty B All we need to do is find my nigga PeeWee
We used to be on Murdel Street makin' funky songs If you see him tell him Short said it's back on Let's get this money, midwest down South East coast, West coast ride out, biatch
These are the tales (That's my gift to rap) These are the tales that I tell so well (You can have that word, say bitch all you want)
These are the tales (All you regular fake ass niggas) These are the tales that I tell so well (You finally get to have Too Short's bitch, trick)
