50 Cent Feat Tego Calderon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what you heard about me
But a bitch can't get a dollar out of me
No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see
That I'm a motherfuckin' P-I-M-P

I don't know what you heard about me
But a bitch can't get a dollar out of me
No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see
That I'm a motherfuckin' P-I-M-P (now, shorty)

Now shorty, she in the club, she dancin' for dollars
She got a thing for that Gucci, that Fendi, that Prada
That BCBG, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana
She feed them foolish fantasies, they pay her 'cause they want her
I spit a little G, man, and my game got her
A hour later have that ass up in the Ramada
Them trick niggas in her ear sayin' they think about her
I got the bitch by the bar tryna get a drink up out her
She like my style, she like my smile, she like the way I talk
She from the country, think she like me 'cause I'm from New York
I ain't that nigga tryna holla 'cause I want some head
I'm that nigga tryna holla 'cause I want some bread
I could care less how she perform when she in the bed
Bitch, hit that track, catch a date, and come and pay the kid
Look, baby, this is simple, you can't see
You fuckin' with me, you fuckin' with a P-I-M-P

I don't know what you heard about me (woo)
But a bitch can't get a dollar out of me
No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see
That I'm a motherfuckin' P-I-M-P

I don't know what you heard about me
But a bitch can't get a dollar out of me
No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see
That I'm a motherfuckin 'P-I-M-P

I'm 'bout my money, you see, girl, you can holla at me
If you fuckin' with me, I'm a P-I-M-P
Not what you see on TV, no Cadillac, no greasy
Head full of hair, bitch, I'm a P-I-M-P
Come get money with me if you curious to see
How it feels to be with a P-I-M-P
Roll in the Benz with me, you could watch come TV
From the backseat of my V, I'm a P-I-M-P
Girl, we could pop some champagne and we could have a ball
We could toast to the good life, girl, we could have it all
We could really splurge, girl, and tear up the mall
If ever you needed someone I'm the one you should call
I'll be there to pick you up if ever you should fall
If you got problems I can solve 'em, they big or they small
That other nigga you be with ain't 'bout shit
I'm your friend, your father, and confidant, bitch

I don't know what you heard about me
But a bitch can't get a dollar out of me
No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see
That I'm a motherfuckin' P-I-M-P

I don't know what you heard about me
But a bitch can't get a dollar out of me
No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see
That I'm a motherfuckin' P-I-M-P

I told you fools before, I stay with the tools
I keep a Benz, some rims, and some jewels
I holla at a ho 'til I got a bitch confused
She got on Payless, me? I got on gator shoes
I'm shoppin' for chinchillas, in the summer they cheaper
Man, this ho you can have her, when I'm done I ain't gon' keep her
Man, bitches come and go, every nigga pimpin' know
This ain't a secret, you ain't gotta keep it on the low
Bitch, choose on me, I'll have you strippin' in the street
Put my other hoes down, you get your ass beat
Now Niki my bottom bitch, she always come up with my bread
The last nigga she was with put stitches in her head
Get your ho out of pocket, I'll put a charge on a bitch
'Cause I need four TVs and AMGs for the six
Ho make a pimp rich, I ain't payin', bitch
Catch a date, suck a dick, shit, trick

I don't know what you heard about me (yeah)
But a bitch can't get a dollar out of me (woo)
No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see (uh-huh)
That I'm a motherfuckin' P-I-M-P

I don't know what you heard about me (uh-huh)
But a bitch can't get a dollar out of me (yeah)
No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see
That I'm a motherfuckin' P-I-M-P

Yeah, in Hollywood they say, "There's no business like show business"
In the hood they say, "There's no business like ho business", you know?
They say I talk a little fast, but if you listen a little faster




I ain't got to slow down for you to catch up, bitch
Hahaha, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "P.I.M.P" by 50 Cent Feat Tego Calderon describe the life of a pimp who prefers to keep his distance from the women in the song, preventing them from getting any money out of him. He claims to have no interest in luxury cars or hairstyles ("No Cadillac, no perms"), and instead brags about how he makes money by exploiting women's desires for designer brands. In the second verse, he describes a particular woman who seems to be attracted to him because of his style and New York origin. He flirts with her but makes it clear that his only interest in her is financial gain. He asserts that he is a 'friend, father, and confidant,' but it is clear that his primary motivation is making money.


The chorus of the song creates a catchy hook in which 50 Cent repeats the line "I don't know what you heard about me" followed by the assertion that "a bitch can't get a dollar out of me" which expresses a sort of control over the women he is involved with.


Overall, the song is a commentary on the pimp lifestyle and the way that it is glamorized in certain aspects of popular culture. The lyrics speak to the tension between romance and material gain, and how the commodity fetishism of luxury brands can inspire people to do anything to achieve them.

I've mentioned before that I always carry weapons


I keep a Benz, some rims, and some jewels
I own a Mercedes-Benz, some fancy wheels, and some expensive jewelry


I holla at a ho 'til I got a bitch confused
I talk to prostitutes until they're mixed up and don't know what to do


She got on Payless, me? I got on gator shoes
She's wearing cheap Payless shoes, while I'm wearing expensive alligator shoes


I'm shoppin' for chinchillas, in the summer they cheaper
I'm looking to buy chinchilla fur coats while they're cheaper during the summer season


Man, this ho you can have her, when I'm done I ain't gon' keep her
You can have this prostitute once I'm done using her, I won't keep her


Man, bitches come and go, every nigga pimpin' know
Prostitutes are temporary, and every pimp knows this


This ain't a secret, you ain't gotta keep it on the low
This isn't some secret information, you don't need to keep it quiet


Bitch, choose on me, I'll have you strippin' in the street
If you work for me, I'll have you standing on the street corner as a stripper


Put my other hoes down, you get your ass beat
If you disrespect my other prostitutes, I'll physically harm you


Now Niki my bottom bitch, she always come up with my bread
Niki is my top prostitute, and she always makes money for me


The last nigga she was with put stitches in her head
The last man she was with physically assaulted her, requiring stitches in her head


Get your ho out of pocket, I'll put a charge on a bitch
If one of my prostitutes disobeys me, I'll punish her


'Cause I need four TVs and AMGs for the six
I have expensive tastes and need to make a lot of money to support them


Ho make a pimp rich, I ain't payin', bitch
Prostitutes make me rich, I'm not giving any money to them


Catch a date, suck a dick, shit, trick
Go out and find customers, perform oral sex on them, and get paid


Yeah, in Hollywood they say, "There's no business like show business"
In Hollywood, they say there's no industry better than the entertainment industry


In the hood they say, "There's no business like ho business", you know?
But in my line of work, prostitution is the most lucrative industry


They say I talk a little fast, but if you listen a little faster
Some people say I speak too quickly, but if you pay close attention,


I ain't got to slow down for you to catch up, bitch
I don't need to slow down for you to understand me, because you should already know who I am


Hahaha, yeah
Just laughing to myself now
