1
Sup?
2
Short Dogg back in the house beeyatch
3
And it don't stop to the beat
4
Ain't no thang but a chicken wing
5
We gonna do it like this one mo' time
6
Straight from Oakland, California I'm back again
7
Short Dogg's on the mic 'bout to mack and pimp
8
We got flavor at the Dangerous Crew camp
9
Save ya money, can't use dem food stamps
10
Other crews like to sample and mix
11
But our crew, we just play that shit
12
Live, drums, bass, keys
13
Niggas don't like it, you can get bees
14
Stuck in the back of your throat
15
Fuckin with a pimp named Sir Too $hort
16
We coulda sampled the Luke but we didn't
17
I'd rather treat ya like a ho and start pimpin
18
When will you other brothers realise?
19
Can't fuck with my crew better feel your eyes
20
Cos you must be blind if you can't see
21
And I'ma say this shit quite frankly
22
I give a fuck when freestylers step up
23
I don't do it, tell you 'bout it on the next cut
24
Cos right now we gotta feel the flow
25
And make sure we keep it real slow
26
Just like the motherfuckin Dangerous Crew
27
We gettin funky like it's 1972
28
Still puffin on them zags, dressed like pimps
29
And axe Ohio Players once again
30
Can we sample the funk?
31
Y'know we don't wanna wear it out
32
We just wanna lil' piece, y'knowhati'msayin?
33
We ain't goin loopy, we're goin freaky
34
We gonna funk it track for track
35
Dangerous Crew style
36
Ant Banks let me flip this one more time
37
Ya ready?
38
All you brand new rappers got a new flow
39
You ain't samplin James Brown no mo'
40
Probably try to sample cameo
41
Parliament Funkadelic, you scandalous ho
42
You stole it, Ossie Brothers, Bark Kays
43
Barry White, Isaac Hayes
44
Have you heard the term 'Sample Clearance'?
45
Start the nigga who wrote it, would never hear it
46
Now we're suin your ass for sure
47
Got'cha spendin all ya money cos you need a lawyer
48
You got problems and ya need ta solve em
49
Ya shouldn't of sampled wouldn't of had dem problems
50
If you'd have played your own shit
51
You wouldn't be broke, you woulda made ya long grip, bitch
52
But that's irrelevant now, my friend
53
Cos they done wiped you clean like Ant Banks' Benz
54
Sittin on some three-piece AMG's
55
Better find you a sample, you ain't playin these
56
Kinda beats, so funky make your fingers pop
57
If you can't find a sample you ain't got
58
Not one damn thing for a nigga to ride to
59
But I been gettin funky since I was in high school
60
Growin up in that Bootsy's rubber band
61
In '76, seen a mothership land
62
Nothin but funk all in your face
63
I like to slow it way down in ass and bass
64
Cos that's how we be layin tracks
65
Just flip the funky rhyme and start sayin raps
66
Get funky with Ant Banks, PeeWee, Shorty B
67
Father D, Dope D, Tony T
68
The motherfuckin Dangerous Crew
69
And that's the drop from the dime, we'll change the groove
70
Just to sample the funk
71
Beeyatch
72
That's right, PeeWee friggin the keyboards
73
Tony T on the drums, Shorty B on the bass
74
Ant Banks on the mixing boards, Short Dogg on the vocals
75
Right now you know the story of Too $hort baby
76
First started rappin in 1980
77
I got more game than Monopoly
78
Now I'm makin money there ain't nobody stoppin me
79
Used to be local til I signed with Jive, man
80
Used to like to sample now I'm rollin with live band
81
Now that I finally did this shit
82
I'm makin one more album and then I quit
83
And only one thing could make me say I'm not
84
And that's one million dollars on the spot
85
Upfront cash, money, no compromise
86
No schemes, no scandals, don't front and lie
87
Just pay the man in full
88
Thirty years old, torch the bull
89
Ain't givin shit up but the funk
90
Let these record companies know what the fuck I want
91
Cos they been fuckin black folks right from the start
92
When you sign that line tear your ass apart
93
For every one you get they gettin five
94
Niggas gettin paid but it don't seem right
95
I know where I came from and know where I'm at
96
And my last two albums don't sound real bad
97
I'm Too $hort baby, I ain't no punk
98
I'm just askin 'Can I sample the funk?'
99
So can we sample the funk?
100
Bitch
101
Yeah, you know what I'm sayin?
102
I'm talkin to George Clinton, Bootsy Collins
103
My nigga Suga Foot and Diamond from the Ohio Players
104
I'm talkin to James Brown
105
We know where the funk came from
106
Johnny 'Guitar'?
107
To all y'all niggas, y'all can sample all you want
108
Here we go loopty-loo
109

110
Flip it
