In the Oaktown

You hear me talkin', you know I'm from the O-A-K

I tell it like it is and that's the only way

I'm the M, the A, the C, the K

I write my rhymes everyday

Now, all you one-rap rappers, what are you doin'?

I got so many raps, so just go right through 'em

My name is $hort, but I rap long rhymes

Hand me your mic, I do it all the time

Now, could you be like me? I hate to say it

It's like comparin' Mickey D's and Quick Ways

You only got three stores, I got the whole wide world

I get beeps every day from your favorite girl

But I'm such a dog, I never call the freak

Hit it once and she was just too weak

At my house I keep finer things

The candy paints got her sprung on my diamond rings

She could live like a queen if she was Mrs. Too $hort

Have two babies, get child support

But at this point she gets nothin' from me

I ain't fakin' it freak, I'm just makin' the beat

So don't dance, ride the strip

All day long playin' Too $hort hits

Pop in the tape and start ridin'

Silly young freak who started sidin' in the Oaktown

See, I'm a true MC, I'm not a MC fool

I'm just rich and famous and way too cool

I get paid to rhyme and I do mean G's

You don't like my raps, don't buy 'em please

I give you no refund 'cause my bass is fat

Make it hit so hard, just like a punch in the back

It's that dope fiend beat, got my rap on your plate

Tryin' to bite my style and make a demo tape

Now, could you be like me or someone else?

Bass hittin' hard like the Freaky Tales

Oaktown style, it goes just like this

If you never heard me rap, don't trip

'Cause I hit the scene with my homie Too Clean

We slap hands like a tag team

Some people say, they don't like Cali' raps

People like that must be smokin' that crack

I rhyme good, it's been ten long years

Gettin' sick of all that stuff I always hear

"Too $hort can't rap, he's from the West Coast"

Between me and you, partner, I sell the most

So, let's take it to the stage and don't get scared

'Cause me and Too Clean, we come well-prepared

They call me,"Playboy $hort", and the girls I play

Every single day in the Oaktown
