And I pull licks if I have to, no laughter
Or chit-chat I juss clack my shit back an then I blast ya
When it's the wig split
Come wit big shit fo the 9-Feva-roo
'Cause ya fuckin' either two

Fo sho, I pimp nights like Gladys

So crack ends, givin' me jaw, I be call fuckin around wit mo ups & downs

Now I know bitches that say "Richard, do what ya wanna"
But like old Vogues them bitches cry when I hit the corner
My 7-duce, produce, 'cause the zues was pissed off
I'm still gettin' zips off
Niggas feelin' ripped off, an clipped off
Until they told me, it was Knumskull, Yuk an Dru
Now what you wanna do?
It's 35-hundred for the straight laced triple gold, wit the vogues
That's what they cost in the store, yeah
An you can reach, but you can not touch
Ever figga, scared nigga that you feared too much?
If you scared go to church, I know it hurts
To find out, she works for me
Brought me that Jeep
That's why I, keep my bitch business in the cut
That way I gets yo skrilla, plus I get to fuck
'Cause we

Pimps, playas, hustlas, ballas, shot callas, all of us
T for tech out to get the scratch, it ain't nothin' nice, Dru Down, let
Me hear ya

I'm steadily stackin' up on the green
Ballas will use the triple beam
Shot calla use they words
Hustlas will use they shoulders, playas sit back an get served
Now observe the definition of the pimp-mode
I take hoes, an break hoes, an hoes is stayin' mobile, really though
Doe is what I love, so what's up?
Nigga who you tellin', that life always been tough
Nigga I had it rough

Bitch you jack rabbit call me Bugsy
Four-four up in the Paddy wagon, to break my niggas love me
An I'll be sure the next time niggas see me I'll be high
Do or die, throwin' up the 5, in the 5th lane right

Ho

Pimp bitches fo sex, might as well go all out an pimp the whole block
Wit 4 techs
Niggas on this, on the move in many
Plenty taken, playa hatin, Caddy's

I'm like what ever it takes to make a buck
Could never be stuck

Fuck the pain, it just make sense for me to stay on my hustle and game
Blame no nigga for my down fall
But pimpin' is the final frontier, I gets around y'all
