[$hort]

Once upon a time there lived a man

In a place that's known as East Oakland

He can rap to the beat like all the rest

So rough hanging tough in the wild wild west

With his gansta waves and gangsta hoods

He made friends with dealers and crooks

And when the party was on you knew he had come

It is like Gladis Knight and its five oh ones

Walking right up to the dj man

And give another emcee's rap

Cuz they knew about him and his gangsta rap

The fact they just couldn't manage that

He was known around to be the best

So rough hanging tough in the wild wild west

In a land where whips will watch the car

Tell you everything and they still want more

Where live is only give and take

In a land where the strong control the fake

He was known around for all the time

Everybody went wild when he said his rhyme

Said his manly man would come out

With his gangsta ride his turn back side

Out like Jessie Jackson in a land

Where game that controls the lane

Yes the wild wild west that's the place

Suckers take a bite and don't even taste

The California lifestyle that I live

When the sun rolls out every chance it get

The wild wild west that's where you see

Emcee rappers make you look like wheat

Cuz you would never hang in the wild wild west

Without you hoopsta in the wild wild west

You can get down but I don't know where

You come out here you better act scare

Cuz we don't play don't come my way

When you sudden didn't fight you will say

Front me cuz you'll front yourself

I'll leave you standing there mad as that

You can rap your best that's what you do

You just can't hang and you know its true

Like a homeboy said its one two three

West coast raps to the beat

You got have a lot of game to spit that rap

I wanna put a little game to her just like that

Too $hort I thought you knew

You can't count three and then skip two

It just won't work but you might high

You the emcee from seventy five

Girls G.I.R.L.S. so fresh

Emcee rap through the wild wild west

Taking you the weed cuz we don't play

Sucker emcee's do you hear me say

Front me... front me...

Once upon a time there lived a man

In a place that's known as East Oakland

He can rap to the beat like all the rest

So rough hang tough in the wild wild west

With his non stop rapping and his west coast style

He had the whole dang party just going wild

Singing rhymes all time banging back

Turning eight out with the west coast rap

That's when the sucker emcee all came to be

Nothing but everyday sucker emcee's

They were all his friends all his fans

Walk right up and make his man

And you always knew everytime

Sucker emcee's wish they could rhyme

Just like pimp but what's the fact

The fact they just couldn't get with that

They were all frustrated all mapped out

Didn't even know what to rap about

Homeboy do you agree

And not worth kicking like a sucker emcee

Cuz much talk fresh and all them mad

Sucker emcee's couldn't make him mad

With a rap like his a rap like that

Now its time for a sucker to rap

The sucker emcee would just wait his turn

Sucker emcee's don't want to get burned

What emcee do you play

He had the sucker emcee's all running away

Didn't want none you couldn't get them back

They never could deal with a real big mack

One emcee was the best

So rough and tough in the wild wild west

There was one emcee who knew the tip

And the sucker emcees don't even trip

So tell it to the world it's not to wise

Cuz you are an emcee from seventy five

Girls G.I.R.L.S. so fresh

Emcee rap through the wild wild west

Taking you the weed cuz we don't play

Sucker emcee's do you hear me say

Front me... front me...

Once upon a time there lived a man

In a place that's known as East Oakland

He can rap to the beat like all the rest

So rough hanging tough in the wild wild west

Just a true emcee didn't cash the checks

Singing that's like this or raded that

Making a champ with a heavy weight rap

No emcee could walk like that

To a point that paid again and again

Saying wouldn't stop till he got a benz

I never thought about it till the other day

He had drop chop rolling away

In a eighty five or eighty seven

Said he got paid cuz he raps like this

You could see it in his eyes he was seeing stars

Choosing folks and having things

Just checking out the girls walking down the street

In the wild wild west that's where you see

The freshest emcees you will say is soft

From seventy five girl so raw

Like silky they and hollywood

They come so fresh cuz you know they could

Like sir Too $hort when I'm on the mic

West coast rappers rap all long night

So watch how you talk in the wild wild west

East coast rappers make us look fresh

With the save a hoe and everybody scream

East coast rappers make all the cream

With a New York rap and a New York slang

Not too many could spit that game

Now the time has come and I'll tell it right

About a rapper like me who will rock the mic

I'm making you wake up on the western coast

Were giving you more than just the locs

Its everything you could never have

Took and spent your money to buy my rap

The wild wild west that's what its called

About the west coast rappers that stand so tall

The freshest emcees you'll say you saw

From seventy five girl so raw

Wild wild west
