Life As A Shorty - Fashawn[00:00:00]
Remember livin' in a trailer[00:00:31]
Cookin' dinner out a crockpot or we would microwave it[00:00:32]
Basic television same seven stations[00:00:35]
On a twelve-inch I had to watch cable at the neighbors[00:00:38]
Didn't know how broke we was 'til I got older[00:00:41]
Never knew I had a father until he showed up[00:00:43]
Out the blue tryin' to get back wit mama[00:00:46]
Stepdad walks in now here comes the drama[00:00:48]
Had a couple of 'em to be honest[00:00:51]
Like William Scott they would always take me shoppin'[00:00:53]
Ralphie and mark they would take me to the doctor[00:00:56]
I call 'em all daddy even though they didn't have me[00:00:58]
Kids used to make fun of my clothes[00:01:01]
'Til one of 'em got punched in the nose[00:01:03]
Kinda like I was forced to be tough[00:01:06]
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough but hey[00:01:08]
Even though I'm young and I can't see[00:01:11]
The forest from the trees follow me[00:01:17]
And when I'm grown you know I'm bound to be[00:01:21]
The HNIC follow me[00:01:27]
Mama I'll be alright just let me do my thing[00:01:32]
Following my dreams this is me[00:01:37]
First fight third grade I was swingin' from the shoulders[00:01:41]
With this kid named Dariah he was three years older[00:01:43]
And like two feet taller I finished it he started it[00:01:46]
All over this chick named Barbara Johnson[00:01:49]
Nonsense I thought once the principal came[00:01:51]
That fat lip really put a dent in my game[00:01:53]
Never in my life have I felt such pain[00:01:56]
Got sent home but I held my own[00:01:59]
Slept in every morning it was like a vacation[00:02:01]
How'd I make it to sixth grade graduation[00:02:04]
Cause I was always ditchin' hung around with some misfits[00:02:06]
With add and they all smoked weed[00:02:08]
Never read a piece of literature wasn't good listeners[00:02:11]
Never paid attention so they hung 'round me[00:02:14]
While my parents was out in the streets[00:02:17]
I built my world on a blank sheet just thinkin' in myself[00:02:19]
Even though I'm young and I can't see[00:02:22]
The forest from the trees follow me[00:02:28]
And when I'm grown you know I'm bound to be[00:02:32]
The HNIC follow me[00:02:38]
Check it out hard to forget all the time I would spend[00:02:41]
With my first f**k even had me dodgin' my friends[00:02:44]
Wore my heart on my sleeve at the age of fifteen[00:02:47]
She would tell me that she loved me it was all just pretend[00:02:49]
She cheated on me so it quickly came to an end[00:02:52]
She put the blame on him got played I'll admit that[00:02:54]
Hangin' with my friends never called her again[00:02:57]
Five years later heard she had a kid damn[00:02:59]
I guess time flies when you're havin' fun[00:03:02]
So enjoy life you only get one[00:03:05]
I love my childhood despite the gunfire[00:03:07]
I was quite happy growin' up in the slums[00:03:10]
It wasn't too bad havin' a few dads[00:03:12]
The only thing I disliked was not havin' cash[00:03:15]
What I'd give for a couple of bucks[00:03:17]
Man life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough but hey[00:03:19]
Even though I'm young and I can't see[00:03:23]
The forest from the trees follow me[00:03:28]
And when I'm grown you know I'm bound to be[00:03:33]
The HNIC follow me[00:03:38]
Mama I'll be alright just let me do my thing[00:03:43]
Following my dreams this is me[00:03:49]
