[Intro]

Beitch!

Short Short

I'm from The Town

[Too $hort]

Ten years ago, you was havin thangs

Now you ain't nuttin but a maggot brain

Used to be on the block gettin at 'em mayne

Back in the days when you was slangin 'caine

Now you fresh out of jail, just comin home

Livin at your momma's house, nuttin goin on

Cain't hustle, and you cain't fit in

Hit the corner, but you ain't makin friends

Yo' life, just twist and turns

Out on parole, now he fin'sta learn

If you sleep too late you cain't get the worm

You cain't smoke weed cause ain't shit to burn

That's where you at, and ain't no way back

These lil' niggaz on the block stay strapped

Fuck that~! Convicted felon with a gat?

It's mandatory; you get caught you goin back

[Chorus: repeat 2X]

You gettin off doin nothin

Get your mind right ya, need to do somethin

Spend all day smokin blunts

You maggot brain, get yo' mind right and so somethin

[Silk E]

You barely pay your rent; spend all day on the phone

You're always lyin, yo' excuses be irrelevant

You let 'em hit and use yo' food stamps to feed his friends

Always yellin, always beggin somebody to babysit

Hell, you're always in barely everything

Always causin problems, always with it, barely know his name

Youse a trainwreck, think we can't see through that?

Get ya mind right, youse a burnt out turfin rat

You barely in your house, it always smell like piss

You only scrapin when company comes over

Then you jumpin in the shower, snitchin and ya gossipin

Ain't nobody like you, so you wonder why she not ya friend

Silk, it's Silk E not cotton blend

Authentic not rented official game spitter

Fight over yo' baby daddy {?} fuck with her

Always talkin shit, always on my nerves, youse a maggot brain

Maggot brain

[Chorus]

[Too $hort]

I know you doin bad, but don't stalk her

Your girl upgraded now she's fuckin a baller

She don't wanna be wit'chu - why would she?

Video games, blunts and pussy?

That's all you want, cause you have no goals

Stayin at your momma's house, is so old

You need to reinvent yo'self right now

You need a makeover, a new lifestyle

Some new clothes, a new place to live

Go get yo' baby momma and take yo' kids

Stop doin crime, and stay out of court

Cause you know you ain't never paid child support

And if you get a job, they take it out yo' check

Can't get a driver's license, now you really 'bout to quit

Ten years ago, you was havin thangs

And now you ain't nuttin but a maggot brain - BITCH!

[Chorus]

[Outro]

You in the mix baby

Wit'cha boy Too $hort

I'm still blowin
