The Pimp Squad Click gotta spit sum pimp shit,
I dunno if I got it in me,
Got to
Well I tell you what this as close to some pimp shit I can get
Inna pitch black six, kicked back lettin' the purp blow the
Fire from the dro' make the middle of my shirt glo'
One to make me stay at home and one to go to church mo,
Money and the bundles it ain't nothin' we can hurt fo'
Blow a hundred thou at will what chu wanna work fo'
Keys to the crib what chu worried bout a skirt fo'
You the one I put all them women out da vert fo'
Everyday I spent wit chu I swear it make the earth
So much mo'worth livin' nah you gone and it hurt so
Bad, and it's sad but it's cool I ain't mad
I still got love fa you boo
I'm jus' glad that you found what you need
But I adored you believe me
Astounded 'cause I neva' believed you'd leave me
In this million dolla crib 13 karat ring
What it cost me to drive
Imma king without a queen
[Chorus]
Come back this way
Can't spend anotha day without you
Walk this way
Don't you like our life
I see about you
Please say yes
Darlin' please say yes, tonight
And for the rest of your life
Nah I'ma bout to tell you all the things that I wont do
Stayin' up all night worried tryna call you
Mindin' ya business tryna find out what cha into
Askin stupid questions tryna aggravatin' ya mental
I got muh own business and I got muh own friends too
I jus hope the money and the fame don't change you
Let dat good shit go to waste it be a shame too
Dats jus' like cuttin' off the wings of an angel
Hundred thousand songs like this couldn't explain you
The best trainer known to da' world couldn't tame me
I jus' kinda figured out cha name when I came thru'
Money ain't a thang shit I ball wit the best boo
Behead her like some like some purple thrax hold it in your chest boo
Thank about you layin' in muh arms as I caress you
Let cha self go mattbonie will protect you
Its best you weigh out all yo options 'cause I'm chosin' you
[Chorus]
I'm sayin' baby
I call you every damn day
And you always give me the same excuse
You know, you gotta go to work
You gotta exercise (God damn bitch)
You gotta go yo homework
I'm sayin' tho baby
Just answer me this one thang
When do you fuck?
[Chorus]
The lyrics to Aerosmith x Run R.M.C.'s song "Walk this Way" are a mixture of sexual innuendos, high school nostalgia, and a catchy chorus that commands you to walk and talk a certain way. The song starts by introducing a "backseat lover that's always undercover" and the singer's desire to experience "muffin" (a slang term for female genitalia). The second verse introduces a "cheerleader that's a real big pleaser" and the singer's fond memories of her sister and cousin. The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, commands the listener to walk and talk in a certain way, while the bridge includes a request for a kiss and a demand for head (another sexual innuendo).
The verses of the song paint a vivid picture of high school experiences, with a focus on sexual exploration and experimentation. The references to cheerleaders, locker rooms, and dances add to the youthful and energetic mood of the song. The chorus, however, represents a universal desire to be cool and confident in one's actions and words - a desire that is not limited to high school.
Overall, "Walk this Way" is a fun and playful song that encourages listeners to embrace their own swagger and "walk and talk" with confidence.
Line by Line Meaning
Now there's a backseat, lover
That's always undercover
And I talk 'til my daddy say
Said you ain't seen, nothin'
Til you're down on the muffin
And there's sure to be a change in ways
There's a discreet lover who always hides in the backseat; when my dad discovered my talkative personality, he warned me not to judge others until I experience the same thing. I eventually found out that I need to change the way I see things when I try something new.
Now there's a cheer, leader
That's a real big, pleaser
As far as I can reminisce
But the best thing, love it
Was her sister and her, cousin
And it started with a little kiss, like this
I remember a cheerleader who was known to be a crowd-pleaser. However, the true highlight was when I kissed her cousin and sister, which started something amazing.
She starts, swingin'
With the boys in, tune
And her feet just fly up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
And they swingin' like it just don't care
She joined in with the boys and started dancing to the rhythm, lifting her feet into the air. They're just having fun, singing a song, and not worrying about anyone watching them.
So I took a big, chance
At the high school, dance
With a lady who was ready to play
It wasn't me she was, foolin
'Cause she knew what was she was, doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
I decided to take a risk and dance with a girl who wanted to have fun. She knew how to lead, and even taught me how to walk confidently.
[Chorus]
She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
She instructed me to walk and talk in a specific way, and I followed her lead.
Well just gimme a kiss!
Ooh, a-like this!
I simply want a kiss, just like this.
School girl, sleazy
With a, classy kind of sassy
Little skirt hangin' way up her knee
There were three young ladies
In the school gym, locker
And they find they were lookin' D
I observed a schoolgirl who was both promiscuous and alluring, but still keeps it classy by being sassy. There were three girls in the gym locker who were looking for their lost belongings.
I was high school, loser
Never made it with a, lady
Til a boy told me somethin' I missed
That my next door, neighbor
Had a daughter, had a favor
And I gave the girl a little kiss, like this
I was considered a high school loser, thinking I would never get a chance with a girl. But a friend informed me that my attractive neighbor's daughter likes me and I finally had the courage to give her a kiss.

One of the best collaborations of all time. They made each other’s music more relevant.

agreed, I wouldnt be interested in either of these groups if not for this collab!
@Ecthelion1967
It is on the same standard as the KLF.
@juanjots
The metaphor in this video is epic. Rock and Hip-hop/Rap breaking the barrier that separates them!
@poloauz3446
I never realized that
@quasidiem99
The barrier has always been imaginary because everyone I knew in the 80s liked RUN DMC and Aerosmith, even before this song came out.
@noirfiddle7284
Much like Hip Hop was thirty years ago. Rock was invented by blacks and was criticized as not being "real" music. This was a legendary moment in music history. It reignited Aerosmith's career.
