Too Short Good Life lyrics

Yeah, we balling, baby
(As we proceed)
That's right
(To give you what you need)
Oh, you ain't know
We gonna tell you how it is

When you're living the good life, good life
Everything is tight, money right
Everybody wanna be by your side, tryin' to ride
Such a good life, good life
When you're living the good life, good life
Everything is tight, money right
Everybody wanna be by your side, tryin' to ride
Such a good life, good life

You thought it was a fad, you really can't understand rap
How these young playas come up and live fat
Big houses, cars, watch the homies bubble
Do a lot of good but can't stay out of trouble
They call you, "Boss" 'cause he's the president
He bought a lot of stuff you could never get
Take us to the game, you wanna see my bus
But all the little kids wanna be like us

When they get home and turn the TV on
It's 'Too Short' baby on the microphone
I see a lot of styles when I'm watchin' videos
Lookin' at the background talking 'bout the hoes
Then the R and B cats incorporated rap into their program
(What happened to the slow jams?)
We droppin' platinum, numba one, bitch, that's how it's done

When you're living the good life, good life
Everything is tight, money right
Everybody wanna be by your side, tryin' to ride
Such a good life, good life
When you're living the good life, good life
Everything is tight, money right
Everybody wanna be by your side, tryin' to ride
Such a good life, good life

Li'l homie went to school everyday, he knew what he wanted
Want tryin' to be a thug, want tryin' to get blunted
It was all a dream, but there's certain things
You gotta do, like do good in school
His best friend wouldn't listen, didn't make good grades
Coach kicked him off the team, wouldn't let him play
So he stopped goin' to school, he started hangin' with some g's
Drinkin' beer, smokin' weed


Two years later, one went to college
Quick he got a basketball scholarship
His homeboy was in the hood, one day got arrested
Sent him to the pen they say he got molested
Jealous 'cause his ol' friend took the right path
Watchin' ESPN, I saw him in the draft
Now he got a V-12 sittin' on dubs, that's how it is when you what

When you're living the good life, good life
Everything is tight, money right
Everybody wanna be by your side, tryin' to ride
Such a good life, good life
When you're living the good life, good life
Everything is tight, money right
Everybody wanna be by your side, tryin' to ride
Such a good life, good life

She used to be a nerd on the honor roll
A four eye conesour, books, kinda short on looks
A latch key kid, best friend was her computer
In high school nobody wanted to do her
When she graduated from college, she got paid
Got a good job, now she got it made
Got some contacts and let her hair down
She got the legs and the walk that'll make you stare her down

You betta get your shit together, you're runnin' out of time
Somethin' on your mind, you need to stop lyin'
You ain't ballin' like her, you can't get into the party
Out in Beverly hills, tryin' to flip a Ferrari
But you credit ain't cool and you got declined
He said, "You're welcome", and, "But to come back anytime"
But me, I'm spending cash for this, bitch, and that's just the way it is

When you're living the good life, good life
Everything is tight, money right
Everybody wanna be by your side, tryin' to ride
Such a good life, good life
When you're living the good life, good life
Everything is tight, money right
Everybody wanna be by your side, tryin' to ride
Such a good life, good life

When you're living the good life, good life
Such a good life, good life
