Hey Ho
Ludacris Lyrics

If men sleep around we some players but for women
There is a double standard when it comes to men and women having multiple sexual partners

They be saying hey ho
Women are often called derogatory names for engaging in the same behavior as men

Now I be riding in my Bentley coupe stuntin' with the top down
I am driving my expensive car with the top down and showing off

Four twenty four inch rims so heavy they hold the block down
My car has very large rims that are so heavy they add weight to the street

Twenty four carrot necklace so heavy it hurt my neck
I am wearing a heavy gold necklace that is hurting my neck

Three things you can't take away from me, money, power and respect
I value money, power, and respect and will not give them up

You prostitute it but money I never let it ho
I use money to gain power and status, but I never let go of it

Speakin' of hoe's oh yes we meet em and we G' 'em dude
I meet and have sex with women who are often called prostitutes

And we may see 'em but we wouldn't want to be 'em dude
I am not interested in having the same derogatory label as the women I sleep with

I put my fist up, I got the power girl
I am able to gain power and control over women with my actions and words

I wash my nuts off, go take a shower girl
After having sex, I clean myself off while the woman is expected to shower

It's been an hour girl, it's time to go
I am implying that the woman should leave now that our sexual encounter is over

And if my neighbor see you while you walking out my door (hey ho)
My neighbor may see the woman and call her a derogatory name

Can't nobody do it like Kim
Lil' Kim is confident in her abilities and uniqueness

Only women that can do it like men
Women are capable of having sex with multiple partners just like men

V-V-S is be them gems
Lil' Kim appreciates and boasts about her expensive jewelry

My money coming in
I am earning money for my talents and skills

Bringing them corners on them rims
My car rims have sharp corners that show off my wealth and status

So play the check book tell me how do you bounce that
I challenge someone to try and handle their finances as well as I do

I bounce into position like I am vinegar Kama Sutra
I am able to move and perform sexually in a skillful manner

But money make me come, go and ask Luda'
I am able to reach sexual climax due to my wealth and success

And women cheat better than men we don't disturb them
I believe women are better at cheating and hiding it than men, and I do not interfere with their actions

My motto is "what they don't know won't hurt them"
I believe that keeping secrets from someone will not harm them

We just do it like you do, see the roles done switched
Women are engaging in the same behavior as men, reversing traditional gender roles

If I'm a ho you's a ho, if I'm a bitch you's a bitch
I am calling out the double standards and labels that are unfairly placed on women

Know that I'ma stay rich so fella's do what you do
I am confident in my financial success and encourage others to do the same

Cause you don't fuck us niggas we fuck you
I am implying that women are the ones in control and able to manipulate men for their own benefit

(Hey ho)
Derogatory term used to insult women who engage in sexual behavior

She likes the night lights, brights lights, big spending
The woman I am referring to enjoys a lavish and expensive lifestyle

Lil Fate been big pimpin', pimpin'
Lil' Fate is very successful at controlling and manipulating women

So don't be mad at my raps and try and look at me funny
I am aware of the negative stereotypes and criticism I may face for my lyrics

Cause you know that most you ladies trading sex for money
I am acknowledging the reality that many women engage in sex work to earn money

So if you coming out the pocket then you might get laid
If you have enough money, you may be able to pay for sex from a woman

That's how the rent car no the cell phone get paid
The woman may be engaging in sex work to pay for her basic expenses

I bet the snakes all show once you cut that grass
I believe that people's true intentions are revealed when you remove the superficial layers

And I'm a pimp so it's time that I exploit they ass
I am proud and willing to take advantage of women for my own gain

You see it's hoes after the party it's hoes after the show
There are always women who are willing to engage in sexual behavior after an event or performance

It's hoes up in the lobby, it's hoes out on the stroll
Women who are called derogatory names may be present in various public places

Here's some no dough, no dough, no sleep
I am willing to engage in sexual behavior, even if there is no financial gain involved

Ho on your feet, if you don't work you don't eat
I believe that women who engage in sexual behavior should be working to earn their money

(Hey ho)
Derogatory term used to insult women who engage in sexual behavior

If men sleep around we some players but for women they be saying
There is a double standard when it comes to men and women having multiple sexual partners
