Best quotable:
I loved my childhood, despite the gunfire/
I was quite happy growing up in the slums/
It wasn’t too bad
having a few dads/
the only thing I disliked was not having cash/
What I did for a couple of bucks/
Life as a shorty shouldn’t be so rough

I’ve been bumping song 5, Life as a Shorty, for the last couple weeks straight. Hip hop needs songs like that. So often our songs about childhood and growing up are a litany of complaints about how terrible it was, but we need someone to say it was all right, even if it wasn’t easy.
“I guess time flies/
when you’re having fun/
so enjoy life, you only get one/
I loved my childhood, despite the gunfire/
I was quite happy growing up in the slums/
It wasn’t too bad/
Having a few dads/
the only thing I disliked was not having cash…”
