Education
Dr. Dre feat. Eddie Griffin Lyrics

Aww they say uhh
It is commonly believed that

A black man is a pimp
A stereotype exists that portrays black men as pimps

Well let me tell you the biggest pimp
However, the true culprit behind the objectification of women is actually their mothers

On planet motherfuckin' Earth, is her momma
Mothers are the ones who push their daughters to find men with money and material possessions

It's her momma that told her, "Get a man that got a good job girl,
Mothers advise their daughters to seek out men with successful careers

Make sure he got a good car girl,
Mothers also recommend finding a partner with a nice car

Make sure he can take you out and buy you somethin' girl"
Mothers think it is important for their daughters to date men who can afford to take them out and buy them things

What happened to just fallin' in love with a nigga with a bus pass
The concept of falling in love with someone based solely on their character, rather than their material possessions, seems to be fading away

Just 'cause you loved a nigga
Simply because you love someone

But I'm the pimp motherfucker
Despite the mothers’ bad influence, men are also accountable for their behavior and choices

I gotta be the player
Men have a tendency to play the field and see women as objects to be won

Biggest hoes, on planet Earth
The biggest offenders when it comes to perpetuating negative stereotypes about women are the ones who willingly engage in destructive behavior

Are walkin' through the motherfuckin' neighborhood
Women who engage in this behavior can be found in many different areas throughout society

You knew when you got with the nigga he already had a woman
Women who willingly engage with men who are already in relationships are aware of the situation from the beginning

You knew he already had a family
Furthermore, these women understand that their actions could potentially tear a family apart

But you fucked him anyway
Despite all of this, these women continue to engage with these men

And then when you thought you gon' lose the nigga
When these women fear that the man will leave them, they resort to desperate measures

You went and got pregnant, didn't you bitch, didn't you?
One of these desperate measures is getting pregnant to try and trap the man

The ol' 'keep a nigga baby'
This is commonly known as the tactic of "keeping the baby" to try and make the man stay

And then when the nigga ain't around, what do you tell the child?
The excuses these women make for the man's absence are harmful to the children involved

"Aww that nigga ain't shit, that's why yo' daddy ain't here, 'cause that nigga ain't shit"
They tell the children that the man is absent because he is not a good person

How 'bout being a woman, and tellin' the kid the truth
A better approach would be to tell the children the truth about the situation

That yo' momma, you was a hoe
Admitting to their mistakes and taking responsibility for their actions is the right thing to do

Tell the kid
It is important to educate children honestly

Momma was a hoe, I was weekend pussy
They could explain that they engaged in destructive behavior, and that it did not lead to anything positive in their life

I had you to keep the nigga, it didn't work out
They could also admit that they made mistakes, trying to trap the man, and that it did not lead to a happy ending

That's why he ain't here, but he a good nigga
They could acknowledge that the man might in fact be a good person, regardless of their own mistakes

'Cause he take care of his real family
He might be doing his best to take care of his family, which they should respect

I was just a dumb bitch, tryin' to keep, a nigga that I wanted
In the end, they could admit that they made a mistake, trying to keep a man they wanted, rather than looking for a healthy, happy relationship
