Old school
Too $hort Lyrics

Old school, I'm from the old school
I represent the traditional ways and values of the past

I came in the door as the story goes
As I entered the scene, as expected

Looked around the room all I seen was hoes
Surveyed the room and noticed many promiscuous women

It's like a pussy supermarket; let's go shoppin'
The abundance of available women is likened to a supermarket, ready to be pursued

Packed like sardines, clubs straight poppin'
The clubs are crowded and vibrant with energy

Fuck the V.I.P. section
I disregard and have no interest in the exclusive V.I.P. area

I'm bout to hit the pharmacy, and get my head connected
I'm about to visit the drugstore to find drugs to enhance my experience

Get me some protection
I need to acquire condoms or other forms of protection

Walk around and see who I want to have sex with
I leisurely observe the crowd to determine potential sexual partners

The usual, a nice high-yellow cutie
Typically, I am attracted to light-skinned girls

Or maybe tonight, I might find a black beauty
Perhaps tonight, I will encounter an attractive darker-skinned woman

With a big ol' booty, no doubt
While appreciating her physical attributes, particularly her large buttocks

We'll have a few drinks and then roll out
After enjoying some alcoholic beverages, we will depart

I can't do the 'Jungle Fever'
I cannot engage in interracial relationships

'Cause it's too many black hoes here that might see ya
As there are numerous black women present, maintaining discretion is necessary

If I peep a white broad with some ass and lips
If I notice a Caucasian woman with a voluptuous figure

Fine as hell, I'ma have to ask the bitch somethin'
Extraordinarily attractive, I will approach her and engage in conversation

'Cause I might end up fuckin'
Because there is a possibility of engaging in sexual activity with her

I don't care what you say, I don't owe you hoes nothin'
I disregard any criticism from others as I have no obligations to these women

I fuck tall bitches, even fuck small bitches
I have sexual encounters with women of various heights

Too bad I can't fuck all you bitches
Unfortunately, it is not possible for me to have intercourse with every woman

It don't take players like me too long
Individuals like me, who possess certain skills, do not require much time

To get bitches like you to let me take you home
To persuade women like you to accompany me to my place

I got the game from Oakland, California
I learned my skills and techniques from the city of Oakland, California

I'm Short Dawg, I hope your momma warned ya
I go by the name of Short Dawg, I hope your mother advised you about me

'Bout the old school, do the old school
Concerning the traditional ways and values, let's engage in those

I'm always hustlin', always workin' hard
I am constantly engaged in illegal activities and working diligently

If you tryin' to get the money I'ma do my part
If you are attempting to acquire money, I will contribute my efforts

On the weekends, we like to celebrate
During the weekends, we enjoy engaging in festivities

Cash checks ride away can't wait
Immediately upon receiving payment, I am eager to spend it

Fuck crime, I'm bustin' Too $hort rhymes
I disregard criminal activities and focus on my rap lyrics

Unless it's bout millions I ain't tryin' to do time
Except when it concerns earning significant amounts of money, I am unwilling to face imprisonment

It's like everyday is Saturday
Every day feels like a day for celebration and enjoyment

So many bitches let me have my way
Numerous women allow me to exert control and have my desires fulfilled

You can analyze it, all you want
Feel free to analyze and dissect the situation as much as you wish

But I was knockin' bad hoes with no teeth in the front
Despite their less-than-ideal dental condition, I was engaging in sexual encounters with unattractive women

When I had no money and drove my momma's car
During a time when I was financially unstable and borrowed my mother's car

I had bad-ass bitches look like superstars
Even with my lack of resources, I attracted very attractive women

It's the game, old as it may be
This is the nature of the game, despite its antiquity

It makes fine-ass hoes call me baby
These desirable women are compelled to address me affectionately

I look down and think, this that fuckin' shit
I am astonished and gratified by the current situation

Seein' this beautiful bitch, she just suckin' my dick
Witnessing an attractive woman engaged in oral sex with me

Too many times in a player's wife
It is common for a player, like myself, to encounter a partner's jealousy or possessiveness

We always have to hear what you squares feel like
We are frequently subjected to the opinions and judgments of individuals who do not understand our lifestyle

Fuck that, do what you gotta do
Disregard those criticisms and do what you believe is necessary

I see you creepin' through the hood buyin' prostitutes
I observe you clandestinely engaging in the act of purchasing sex workers in the neighborhood

I know I'm fuckin' hoes, and gettin' high
I am aware of my promiscuous activities and drug use

You want to criticize me but you livin' a lie
You wish to pass judgment on me, yet you are living a dishonest life

With yo' suit and tie, and yo' love for hoes
Dressed formally and pretending to be respectable, yet with your affinity for promiscuous women

You ain't shit motherfucker and Short Dawg knows
You are inconsequential and Short Dawg is fully aware of this fact

Don't cross the game they'll take yo' life
Do not violate or betray the principles of the game, as you may face deadly consequences

Respect the game and you can play all night
Demonstrate reverence for the game and you can indulge in its pleasures throughout the night

If you snitchin', don't get caught slippin'
If you choose to inform on others, ensure you do not get caught in a compromising situation

If you blood'n or crip'n, other niggas set-trippin'
If you are affiliated with the Bloods or Crips gang, be cautious of rival gang members causing trouble

Watch yo' back, it don't take a brainiac
Be vigilant and aware, as one does not need to be highly intelligent to harm you

We got a lot of homicidal maniacs in the streets
There are many dangerous individuals with murderous tendencies in our community

Sometimes life is terrible
Occasionally, life can be extremely distressing

Y'all say goodbye, niggas say be careful
While others bid farewell, we caution each other to remain cautious

Back in the day they woulda killed yo' ass
In the past, they would have violently attacked you

For a reason, they might even keep you breathin'
For a valid cause, they could have spared your life

Fuck your whole world up, you can't get down
Severely damaging your life situation, leaving you incapable of recovering

Broke livin' on the streets and you can't skip town
Financially devastated, residing on the streets without the means to leave the area

But ain't no slow deaths in the triple-oh
However, there are no prolonged suffering deaths in this specific location

If you fuckin' up then you get to go
If you are causing problems, you will be ousted from the situation

Somebody goin' hold you down
Someone will restrain you and prevent you from escaping

so you can't get up off that cold ground
Ensuring that you remain stuck on the cold pavement

Lights flashin', and you keep passin' out
As emergency lights flicker, you repeatedly lose consciousness

You know you fucked up with your bad-ass mouth
Due to your arrogantly disrespectful attitude, you have put yourself in a dire situation

Once upon a time they would o knocked you out
In the past, they would have physically assaulted you

Maybe back in ninety-nine, but not in 2000
Perhaps in 1999, but not anymore in the year 2000

Anybody want to do it like the old school?
Is there anyone else interested in embracing the traditional ways?

Hella niggas at the park with no shootin'
Many individuals gather at the park without engaging in violent activity

Sunday afternoon, at the park
The scene is set on a Sunday afternoon in a park

Niggas leanin' hella hard goin' by in the car
Men intensely displaying their confidence while driving by in their cars

Do the old school, do the old school
Embrace the traditional ways and values

I'm from the old school, do the old school
I represent the old school and encourage others to do the same
