[Common Yea,Yea,Yea You know, they call me a pimp, and you know that mean I'm a Person that's Making Profit. See I internationally I'm recognized, locally accepted I pimp with the truth, the only method
Seen her on Madison where Lords be Travelin And windows be rattlin and badder than any other that I've seen in these parts Her body language spoke like a remark, eyebrows arched Thick lips, wig, nice tits, ass the size that I dig her the name, one way to approach her See she had game, she needed me to her Expose her to paper, freedom and culture The way a pimp is supposed to
[MC As he closer in his eyes I seen fortune I ain't it like abortion Walking with stick holding his tip Looked a Black Panther that was trying to pimp It was cold as shit, I'm on my ride Act like I see him I tried
