SHORTY
[Gun cock sounds] [Sirens in distance]
Yo let me tell you 'bout this bad bitch named Shorty
Met her on the block, she was lookin' naughty
Coming from the trap, countin' up the profit
Shorty had that look, knew I had to cop it
Tapped her on the shoulder, "Excuse me Miss"
"Can I get your digits, maybe get a kiss?"
She said "My name's Shorty, what you wanna know?"
I said "I'm tryna see where this thing can go"
[Cash register sounds] [Ice clinking]
Bought her two drinks, started talkin' shit
Shorty's gear was fire, had to get with it
She said she in school but she trappin' too
I'm tellin' shorty I'm a street king, that's true
She drops some weed, I'm like "Don't even trip"
"I smoke the same shit, let me hit that lip"
We spark the blunt right there on the train
Shorty's lookin' good, drivin' me insane
[Chorus: Slow jam beat with 40oz bottle opening]
This street love is the law that we live by
Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
I reminisce over my gangsta princess every day
Pour out liquor for my shorty, shorty
[Verse 2]
Now we on the train, shorty's nails done
Hair laid, jeans tight, she the number one
Leather jacket fit her, chain from her mom
Got off at her spot, had to hit the ATM
Went to her crib, stereo blastin'
CDs of Biggie, Pac, and Nas happenin'
Leather couch, big screen, she got G's
Shorty said "Do what you want, I'm gonna feed the D's"
I'm rollin' up the blunt, she comes back in sweats
T-shirt, ponytail, got me feelin' blessed
She start feelin' on my chest, I'm on her breasts
No need to stress, we takin' off the dresses
[Chorus]
This street love is the law that we live by
Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
I reminisce over my gangsta princess every day
Pour out liquor for my shorty, shorty
[Verse 3]
Woke up next day on the king size bed
Note on the pillow, this is what it said:
"Cheeks, I'll be home around two
You was sleepin' heavy, didn't wanna bother you"
Left her number, I bounced, smoked a blunt
Got a beep at three, she askin' what I want
Now we been together for weeks and weeks
Candlelight dinners with my gangsta freak
[Gunshots] [Phone ringing]
I'm with my crew, get a beep from Shorty
She uses codes too, talkin' to her mommy
But then her mom says "Shorty's been shot"
Meet me at the hospital, this shit is hot
[Car speeding] [Tires screeching]
Jumped in the whip, doin' 100 on the Wyck
Smokin' boom, not thinkin' 'bout the five-0
Gotta see what's good, but when I reach the spot
They tell me "Mr. Cheeks, your Shorty's gone"
[40oz pouring out] [Single gunshot]
Now I'm pourin' out liquor for my shorty who ain't here
From the streets, this is how I shed my tears
[Chorus - with adlibs]
This street love is the law that we live by (that's real!)
Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die (why, Lord?)
I reminisce over my gangsta princess every day (every day!)
Pour out liquor for my shorty, shorty
[Outro: Fade with police sirens and bottle breaking]
Street love... gangsta princess...
jagga bootz!!!
