Rick Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep pimpin' to get in a bitch panties
I keeps spittin' the critics can not compare me
They put it simple I am Mr. Miami
And my lil' pistol will flip over ya?
We the best at best you doin' failing
Straight finesse?
That's from sunset we rippin' up Cali
Now I'm runnin' from the ghetto bird
I got food on my stomach from the ghetto birds
All I use are my ghetto words
I'm the mayor in the hood on the ghetto terms
I'm a get money I'm a flash dough
Unique whips will cash grow
I'm a keep pimpin' to get in a bitch panties
Dead presidents are runnin' my family
[Hook]
Every dollar I get keeps me stuntin'
Kanye and these hoes tellin' me nothin'
I'm a keep pimpin' to get in a bitch panties
I put a hit on a nigga head?
Every dollar I get keeps me shinin'
I spend a million dollars nigga just in diamonds
I done fucked every dime up in diamonds
This for them d-boys gettin' money shinin'
[Verse 2]
Am I talkin' for police because I puff weed
Lotta artists some recorded as a puffy
Like a pimp I'm a skip, past the?
Like a pimp order, pimp I import her
Every dime you give a note that's a pimp quarter
Cause every time she deliver like a pimp taught her
She ain't married to the game just a pimp daughter
Every Benz that I gain I get the limb harder
What the fuck you niggas know about loyalty

Now it's time for you to become successful on your own and stop relying on us for support

I once gave you a big opportunity, but you failed to capitalize on it and only made a small amount of progress
The fuck you think this is this Triple C, nigga
Do you really think this is some kind of joke or simple opportunity? Triple C stands for Carol City Cartel, a notorious drug organization.
