Wild Wild West
Too $hort Lyrics

Once upon a time there lived a man
In the past, there was a man

In a place that's known as East Oakland
In a location called East Oakland

He can rap to the beat like all the rest
He has the ability to rap like others

So rough hanging tough in the wild wild West
Living a tough and rough life in the wild wild West

With his gansta waves and gangsta hoods
Having a gangster aura and connections

He made friends with dealers and crooks
He associated with criminals and drug dealers

And when the party was on you knew he had come
Everyone knew he arrived when the party started

It is like Gladis Knight and its five oh ones
It's comparable to Gladis Knight and the Pips

Walking right up to the DJ man
Approaching the DJ directly

And give another emcee's rap
Delivering another emcee's rap

'Cause they knew about him and his gangsta rap
Because they were aware of him and his gangster rap

The fact they just couldn't manage that
They couldn't handle it

He was known around to be the best
He had a reputation for being the best

In a land where whips will watch the car
In a place where cars are highly valued

Tell you everything and they still want more
They provide information but expect more in return

Where life is only give and take
Where life revolves around mutual exchange

In a land where the strong control the fake
In a place where the strong dominate the impostors

He was known around for all the time
He had a longstanding reputation

Everybody went wild when he said his rhyme
People got excited when he performed his rap

Said his manly man would come out
Claiming his masculine identity would be revealed

With his gangsta ride his turn back side
Showing off his gangster car and his skill in rap battles

Out like Jessie Jackson in a land
Leaving abruptly, similar to Jessie Jackson

Where game that controls the lane
Where being sly and cunning gives you power

Yes the wild wild West that's the place
Indeed, the wild wild West is the location

Suckers take a bite and don't even taste
Fools imitate without truly understanding

The California lifestyle that I live
The lifestyle I lead in California

When the sun rolls out every chance it get
When the sun shines whenever it can

The wild wild West that's where you see
The wild wild West is where you witness

Emcee rappers make you look like wheat
Other emcee rappers make you look inferior

'Cause you would never hang in the wild wild West
Because you would never fit in the wild wild West

Without your hoopsta in the wild wild West
Without your entourage in the wild wild West

You can get down but I don't know where
You can dance, but I'm unsure of your skills

You come out here you better act scared
If you come here, you should show fear

'Cause we don't play don't come my way
Because we don't mess around, don't approach me

When you sudden didn't fight you will say
If you suddenly challenge, you will regret it

Front me 'cause you'll front yourself
Confront me, you'll only embarrass yourself

I'll leave you standing there mad as that
I'll leave you angry and frustrated

You can rap your best that's what you do
You can give your best rap performance

You just can't hang and you know its true
But you can't fit in, and you're aware of it

Like a homeboy said its one two three
As a friend once said, it's simple

West coast raps to the beat
West coast rappers rap according to the rhythm

You got have a lot of game to spit that rap
You need a lot of skill to deliver that rap

I want to put a little game to her just like that
I want to charm her with my skills, just like that

Too short I thought you knew
Too Short, I assumed you were aware

You can't count three and then skip two
You can't skip two after counting to three

It just won't work but you might high
It won't succeed, but you might get high

You the emcee from seventy five
You're the emcee from '75

Girls G.I.R.L.S. so fresh
Girls, they are fresh

Emcee rap through the wild wild West
Emcees rap throughout the wild wild West

Taking you the weed 'cause we don't play
Bringing you the best marijuana, because we don't mess around

Sucker emcee's do you hear me say
Foolish emcees, listen to what I'm saying

Once upon a time there lived a man
In the past, there was a man

In a place that's known as East Oakland
In a location called East Oakland

He can rap to the beat like all the rest
He has the ability to rap like others

So rough hang tough in the wild wild West
Living a tough and rough life in the wild wild West

Just a true emcee didn't cash the cheques
An authentic emcee who didn't cash in on success

Singing that's like this or raded that
Singing lyrics like this or that

Making a champ with a heavy weight rap
Creating a champion with heavyweight rap

No emcee could walk like that
No emcee could possess that style

To a point that paid again and again
To a level of success that was consistent

Saying wouldn't stop 'til he got a Benz
Stating that he would keep going until he could afford a Benz

I never thought about it 'til the other day
I never considered it until recently

He had drop chop rolling away
He had a luxury car moving quickly

In an eighty five or eighty seven
In an '85 or '87 car

Said he got paid 'cause he raps like this
Claiming to have earned money because of his rap style

You could see it in his eyes he was seeing stars
You could see his excitement in his eyes

Choosing folks and having things
Selecting people and acquiring possessions

Just checking out the girls walking down the street
Simply admiring the girls walking by

In the wild wild West that's where you see
In the wild wild West, that's where it happens

The freshest emcees you will say is soft
The most talented emcees you'll judge as inferior

From seventy five girl so raw
From '75, a girl so unique

Like silky they and hollywood
Smooth and glamorous, just like Hollywood

They come so fresh 'cause you know they could
They arrive in a stylish manner, because they're capable of it

Like sir too short when I'm on the mic
Similar to Sir Too Short when I grab the microphone

West coast rappers rap all long night
West coast rappers continue to rap throughout the night

So watch how you talk in the wild wild West
Be careful how you speak in the wild wild West

East coast rappers make us look fresh
East coast rappers make us look good

With the save a hoe and everybody scream
With the catchphrase 'save a hoe' that excites everyone

East coast rappers make all the cream
East coast rappers earn all the money

With a New York rap and a New York slang
With a rap and slang from New York

Not too many could spit that game
Not many people can deliver that style

Now the time has come and I'll tell it right
Now is the right moment to tell the truth

About a rapper like me who will rock the mic
About a rapper like me who will excel in rap

I'm making you wake up on the Western coast
I'm making you recognize the West coast

Were giving you more than just the locs
We're providing you with more than just the appearance

Its everything you could never have
It's everything you've always wanted

Took and spent your money to buy my rap
Used your money to purchase my rap music

The wild wild West that's what its called
It's known as the wild wild West

About the West coast rappers that stand so tall
About the West coast rappers who are highly regarded

The freshest emcees you'll say you saw
The most talented emcees you'll claim to have seen

From seventy five girl so raw
From '75, a girl so unique

Wild wild West
The wild wild West
