100
Shawty Lo Lyrics

I'm a broke hoe's dream, rich hoe's cream
I am attractive to both lowly and wealthy women who are interested in me only for material gain.

I'm high maintenance and so is my team
I have expensive tastes and demand a lot of attention and resources, as do the people I associate with.

A hundred-thousand in these Red Monkey Jeans
I wear expensive clothing, such as my Red Monkey Jeans, which cost $100,000.

So fresh, I'm so clean
I always look and feel good, presenting myself in the best possible light.

Mary Jane use to be my main
I used to smoke marijuana as my drug of choice before I discovered cocaine.

'til I met the white girl, cocaine
Cocaine is now my preferred drug and has brought me fame and success as a rapper.

Every little thang that she done fucked with came
Cocaine has brought me endless material possessions and luxuries.

'caine was that thang, she brought me my fame
Cocaine has played a significant role in my success and recognition as a musician.

In '96, she gave me my name, "L-O, L-O!"
In 1996, I was given my nickname 'L-O, L-O' due to the connection with the drug cocaine.

It ain't hard to find, still posted in the ghetto
I am still present in my hometown of Bankhead, Atlanta, despite my success and wealth.

Holla at your boy, save your money like Geico
Contact me for business opportunities and be smart with your money, like the insurance company Geico suggests.

My rap now got the trap on hold
My career as a rapper has put my drug trafficking activity on pause.

Unless you want to hold, you can see my fold
Unless someone wants to purchase drugs from me, they can witness how much money I make from my music career instead.

What I get for a hold, I make more for a show
I earn more money from performing concerts than I do from selling drugs.

So I'm out on the road travelin', livin' the globe
I am frequently on tour and traveling around the world, living a luxurious lifestyle.

I stay connected like a magnet
I am well-connected and able to maintain relationships and networks easily.

So holler at me, you know what's happenin'
Contact me for business or entertainment purposes, as I am always in the know about what is going on in my industry.

I get 'em wrapped, duct taped, and plastic
I am involved in illegal activities such as drug trafficking and have been known to package drugs in unorthodox ways.

Give 'em to my partners let 'em work they magic
I outsource some of my illegal activities to trusted associates and allow them to work their skills to make a profit.

Call 'em in the Arch, whip game I mastered
I have mastered the art of driving a car, and my associates and I have a successful operation in Atlanta known as 'the Arch.'

I'm a boss, got D-boy habits
I am the leader of my illegal activities and have developed practices that are associated with a 'D-boy' or drug dealer lifestyle.

Black, red, and white way before this rap shit
I have had an interest in fashion and style for a long time, predating my career as a rapper.

So fuck a deal I'm addicted to trappin'
I have no interest in signing a record deal and am more interested in continuing my illegal activities despite my success in the music industry.

Gettin' money man it's nothing to me
Making money is effortless for me at this point in my life and career.

Bankhead boy, how I love this street
I am proud of my roots and upbringing in Bankhead, Atlanta and have a strong attachment to the area and its culture.

Play if you want, this is how we eat
If anyone tries to challenge me or my associates, it will not affect our livelihood or ability to make money.

Keep one eye open we don't get no sleep
We are always mindful of our surroundings and make sure to keep a watchful eye out for potential threats or enemies.

To all them dead homies, "R.I.P."
I pay respects to my deceased friends and associates with the phrase 'Rest In Peace.'

To all them homies locked up, "Wish you were free."
I hope for the release of my friends and associates who are currently incarcerated and cannot be with me in person.

And I'm a keep reppin' 'til they get in to me
I will continue to represent and celebrate my culture and origins until I am no longer alive.

One-hundred, I am a G
I am a gangster or someone who lives a life of violence and crime, and I am proud of my choices and my success in these activities.
