Can't Stay Away
Too $hort Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah that's right
We gonna flash back
To 1983
I'ma show you niggas how I was spittin' this pimp game
Before most of you niggas even started rappin'
1983, Too $hort
Word for word
Like this baby, Invasion of the Flat Booty Bitches

A nigga like me I know what's up
I want a nasty bitch with a lot of butt
If I can't find one anywhere
It turns my dreams to nightmares
Baby right there ain't got no ass
But she's okay if she got cash

Bitches, bitches, bitches
Invasion of the Flat Booty Bitches

I'll tell 'bout a day that I had
Seen nothin' but bitches with no ass
I woke up early felling right
Do the same damn thing every day of my life
Cause every morning you know I get
A good blowjob from a real fine bitch
Strokin', smokin', sir Too Short
Thinking about the day before
30 minutes after I rolled out
I pulled a freak took her to my house
She was hella young with a lot of butt
She sucked my dick and then we fucked
That good tight pussy I couldn't pass
A light-skined freak with so much ass
At 1 P.M. I was fuckin' away
I want to do the same thing again today
Today my story made itself
Every bitch I saw was flat as hell
I told myself "I must need glasses"
Where's them bitches with the big round asses
Me and me homie just want to be tuff
Bring two bitches then switch'em up
It was 3:35 the strip was lit
Every two blocks I saw a different bitch
Waitng on the bus someone was walking
Me and my homie just started talking
I said "Homie she looks good"
He said "That ass is flat as wood"
I said "What about baby in the black"
And he said "Short she's all that"

Bitches, bitches, bitches
Invasion of the Flat Booty Bitches

Every single day of the week
For every nigga living there's a freak
If you got game and a bed
Why not get fucked and get some head
Cause bitches all over want to get fucked
I just need one with a lot of butt
Me and my homie rollin' and smokin'
Flat booty bitches took over Oakland
I told my homie "I hate to say
All the bitches with ass stay home today"
And he said "Short what now"
Put the pedal to the metal and hit the beat town
I thought them bitches out there was fine
But the invasion was on and it fucked my mind

Bitches, Bitches, Bitches
Invasion of the Flat Booty Bitches

We hit the beat town like Oakland players
I knew it bitches was everywere
The first one had tities so fat
But that don't work her ass was flat
The second bitch was flat too
Talked about the bitch like a muthafuckin' fool
I said beyotch
I know I'm capin'
Where's your ass baby what happened
She turned around caped back on me
Said "Fuck you nigga where's your teeth"
I dam near fell jummping out the car
But I slapped that and slapped her hard
My homie said "Short we gots to cut"
But I was spankin' that bitch on her big flat butt
We parked the car and took a walk
I saw another bitch a I had to talk
I said "Baby, baby, baby come here
Yeah you baby with the long long hair"
Baby came over from across the street
Standing on the corner talking to me
I was spittin' the game but I talked too fast
'Cause I didn't even notice that she had a flat ass
Sheit!
And I was ready to go
We was rollin' back to the O'
I told that bitch "I changed my mind"
She looked at me and she said "Why"
I said I'm Sir Too $hort the Oakland player
I'm not one of them niggaz who don't care
It's no thang to do my duty
But not with you and your flat booty
In the Berkley town what did we find
Freak after freak with no behind
One long day I never got in
I'm glad that shit never happend again

Invasion of the Flat Booty Bitches

The invasion (Beyotch) is on

That's that old school
'83
Still pimpin' baby




Short dog
You know I can't stay away from this game

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Can't Stay Away" by Too $hort tell the story of a man who spends a day looking for women with large buttocks, but only finds ones with small, flat butts. It conveys the idea that Too $hort, a self-described pimp and player, prefers women with curves, and how disheartening it can be to look for something that you never seem to find. He expresses his frustration at the lack of big-bootied women he sees, even going so far as to talk about feeling like he needs glasses because he can't find them. Throughout the lyrics, Too $hort's crude language and graphic descriptions of sexuall activity underscore the theme of his obsession.


The song also touches on societal beauty standards and body image issues. The title "Invasion of the Flat Booty Bitches" alludes to the idea that small butts are becoming more common and desirable, leaving Too $hort feeling left out. He associates large butts with attractiveness and femininity, noting that "if [he] can't find a [big booty] anywhere, it turns [his] dreams to nightmares." This preoccupation with physical appearance highlights the impact that beauty standards can have on individuals and reinforces the notion that looks are often given undue importance.
