How many rhymes does it take to reach from here to New York

[$hort]

From here to New York

Everybody's talking about sir Too $hort

And its all night good cuz some talk back

Sucker emcees wanna make me mad

But I don't stop rapping and they don't seem

To really understand just what I mean

You a sucker emcee and wash the hall

Sucker emcees don't stand too tall

I could spit you a rap then pull near

I'm so fresh everyday of the year

I could spit my rap straight to you

Sucker emcee and your whole crew

Everytime you said I was what you wanted

You never even knew you soon be fronted

By an emcee rappers like me

And giving no slack to your sucker emcees

In your fak the one I might slap

Same dang taste I was laughing at

Cuz sucker emcees don't know the tip

And your going to pay for everything you dip

Tieing to front Too $hort you need to quit

Rappers like me won't even trip

So if don't recognize fronting your gear

If it's you against short you will never win

Cuz I'll stand here and won't stop rhyming

Until I see you don't stop thing

Or I won't stop that's what you heard

Cuz you keep listening to my word

Everyword I say comes loud and clear

Out of my mouth straight to your ear

And I just don't stop once I start

I take a sucker emcee and just tear them apart

Like this

With a rap like this I be hard on the mic

Spitting my rap to you all dang night

Just give me a break before you get broke

You to to be saved by Jon the Pope

Cuz sucker emcees don't be the might

Cuz you all want to se short rock the mic

And when you find out that I don't quit

I'm rapping to the beat like superslick

Talking about your sucker what do you want

You want to take a chance why do you front

Too $hort baby here I stand

From here to New York been known to jam

Not one of those suckers that play rap songs

Making those words to sing along

I'm fresh yea fresh as that

So dang fresh I know the deal

I'm from Oakland, California the big O-town

Too $hort Too $hort I'm still down

I put my whips down fresh I don't play

From here to New York emcees will say

I'm the s.h.o.r.t. spitting my rap to you sucker emcee

Cuz like I said its time to pay

Everything you said and everything you say

Too hard you need to quit

Rappers like me won't even trip

See I knew you didn't knew what you stepped into

When you front on a rapper like hayby too

Everytime I rhyme people love my rap

Its sucker emcee can't deal with that

Just faker than fake you want me to be

Just like you but soon you'll see

Too $hort

I'm in every drop I ride oh no I don't

And losing to a sucker you know I won't

Why you keep on front you so sleek

All your homeboys rapping you against me

Now your homeboys standing there looking laughing

Cuz you went against short and broke you in half

Like that I didn't give you a break

I put you on the mic now they know you a fake

Then I got on the mic look at me now

Too $hort baby from the Oakland town

Hard to leave but keep on there

I proving to a sucker that short can ride

And I know he knows Too $hort can

Cuz the boy ain't nothing but one of my fans

Wanna be like me so dang back

Your principal dreams all your emcee hack

If you really don't know who's the best

Too $hort baby from the wild wild west

All the way from here to New York

Everbody's talking about sir Too $hort

The way I rap like a homerun hitter

Knocking out suckers cuz I'm so much better

At rapping so what could it be

Give me a mic and a beat and you'll soon see

I'm to cool sir Too $hort

Turing everything out from here to New York

Remember my name and I be out

On the mic all night just spitting my rap

True hoo thing never been down

I'm so fresh I could never be clowned

Its just like that until the end of time

So you better wake up on the West coast rhyme
