Ho
Ludacris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus: x2]
Ho (Ho)
You'sa Ho (Ho)
You'sa Ho (Ho)
I said that you'sa ho (Ho)

You doing ho activities
With ho tendencies
Hos are your friends, hoes are your enemies
With ho energy to do what ya do
Blew what ya blew
Screw what ya screw
Y'all professional like DJ Clue, pulling on my coat tail
An why do you think you take a ho to a hotel?
Hotel everybody, even the mayor
Reach up in the sky for the ho-zone layer
Come on player once a ho always
And hos never close they open like hallways
An here's a ho cake for you whole ho crew
An everybody wants some cause hoes gotta eat too

[Chorus: x2]

Cant turn a ho into a housewife
Hos don't act right
There's hos on a mission, an hoes on a crack-pipe
Hey ho how ya doing, where ya been?
Probably doing ho stuff cause there you ho again
Its a ho wide world, that we living in
Feline, feminine, fantastical, women
Not all, just some
You ho who you are
There's hoes in the room, there's hoes in the car
There's hoes on stage, there's hoes by the bar
Hos by near, an hos by far
Ho! (But can I get a ride?)
NO! (C'mon, nigga why?)
Cause you'sa

[Chorus]

You gotta run in your pantyhose
Even your daddy knows
That you sucking down chocolate like daddy-o's
You hos are horrible, horrendous
On taxes y'all writing off hos as dependents
I see the ho rising
It ain't surprising
Its just a ho-asis
With ugly chicks faces
But hos don't feel so sad and blue
Cause most of us niggas is hos too

[Chorus]

(Ho)
Motherfuckers I'm so tired of y'all niggas always talking
Bout hos this, hos that, you the motherfucking ho nigga
I wasn't no ho last night

(Pimp)
Ho, bring yo ass!

(Ho)
OK, hold on

Overall Meaning

The song "Ho" by Ludacris is a controversial and explicit commentary on the culture of prostitution and promiscuity in society, particularly among women. The chorus repeats the phrase "You'sa Ho" multiple times, making it clear that this song is directed at one particular woman, who engages in "ho activities" with her "ho friends." Ludacris accuses her of having "ho tendencies," meaning that her behaviors are indicative of someone who regularly participates in activities associated with prostitution.


The chorus goes on to suggest that this woman has "ho energy," which Ludacris argues allows her to achieve her goals ("do what ya do") by using her sexuality to manipulate men. The song criticizes the idea that women who engage in promiscuous behavior are somehow successful or empowered, referencing the rapper DJ Clue as an example of someone who is "professional" at being a "ho."


The lyrics also reinforce traditional gender roles, suggesting that "hos" cannot be turned into "housewives" and that men who engage in similar behavior are also "hos." Overall, the song provides a scathing commentary on the objectification and commodification of women's bodies as well as the double standards surrounding gender and sexuality in society.

"Ho bring yo ass!"
"Ok ho on"😂🤣😭🤦🏾‍♂️ classic!!!!!

@4partmedia

Ludacris is the first scientist to identify the Hozone Layer.

@kimbamariawiggins481

Lmfaooo😂😂😂😂😂

@tkyo8546

Yah no wonder the scientists complaining so much about climate change!

@mjbset93

@Unsesquipedalian so what scientist do you know personally and consult? 🤷🏽‍♂️ Are you are a scientist? Where are getting your information? And why inject this in response to a JOKE about a Light hearted song? 🙄 If anyone factors in a joke about climate change in their assessment of whether it is legitimate or not they are fools. And you are foolish in trying to reach them. 🤣🤣

@mjbset93

@Unsesquipedalian Are you a scientist? Again? All this stuff you spouting has no references. You are just another person on the net repeating stuff you heard. And at the end of the day does it really matter? Long ago it was scientifically and proven in practice that world was round and stupidly people are debating it. It doesn’t matter whether you or I believe it, if it is actually happening. 🤷🏽‍♂️. I don’t know what the actual impact of us dumping millions of ton of CO2 in the atmosphere is but it is ridiculous to assert there is no impact at all. I hope you are right for the sake of future generations because if you and people like are wrong the people that will suffer won’t be able to kick your ass. But even if they could that is no consultation to the other species that will die off and suffer. And stupidity spouting the talk point that it is “just Democrats” make you look like an idiot. An alleged conspiracy this big long, and world wide requires far more than just USA Democrats. 🤦🏾‍♂️. Do you believe we have an inexhaustible supply of fossil fuels also? What happen if that supply is finite and we don’t develop technologies to replace their use? Go Work on your music dude it would be far more productive.

@mjbset93

@Unsesquipedalian I was aware of natural average global temperature rise you cited. That has nothing to do with speed at which is rising now. So all the scientist who agree with Climate Change are USA Democrats? Man I didn’t know they ran most of the scientific community. If they are that powerful how do they loose elections? Scientist get things wrong sometimes but your assertion that it is a Democratic Party is insulting to 1000s of scientist. You are so confident of 0.5 F over 10,000 of data without thermometers or a contemporary Fahrenheit scale. You believe that data but no data since. Okay make perfect sense 🙄. And I don’t care cause I don’t like USA Democrats or USA Republicans.
