Too $hort (too Short) - Never Talk Down lyrics

Rappin' 4-Tay: You see you never talk down on a playa, I'll spray ya Then break it down to your knee, you best to say a prayer This funk been a part of my life ever since the startin' gate Remember me and my n***a $hort Dog way back in '88? Broke them b**hes down with some s**ual healing And man the town ain't been the same since "Don't Fight the Feelin'" But now your new booty, stayed off in this game on a accident Copied another n***az style Punk don't let this rap sh** get you broke off Cause see it's potent like that ain't right Find a maiden name for yourself, but don't believe the hype Fool, who you think opened the door for your producer? If it wasn't for the Dog and them hogg's you wouldn't have a future And let me add that I could never be scared of ya Rappin' 4', born and raised off in that Bay Area Stickin' to that a** like a hot bowl of grits Hits on top of hits, who you think started this sh**?
