Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This ain't nuttin new
I've been doin this shit bitch
I've been in the same frame of mind since I was 9
Motherfucker
[Too $hort]
You already know, I'm crazy bitch
Fuck with me you better make somethin
Cause I'll never see a hoe and don't take nothin
I was raised to break 'em
You got a purse full of hundreds? I'ma take 'em
Square bitches always fall in love
I call 'em bitch hoe tramp slut all the above
And when I turn 'em out, and send 'em to work
It feels good, knowin I'm pimpin 'em first
I wear a mack hat, real fly with a tilt
When I was 7, girls used to buy me milk
In middle school, I used to get it fool
Lunch money, and they let me hit it too
Cause all I ever wanted was a Cadillac
And some hoes that'll call me Daddy Mack
[Chorus: repeat 8X]
Bitch I'm gone! (Is you gone?)
Bitch I've been gone! (Is you gone?)
[Too $hort]
I never had only one girl
If I wanted I could have any woman in the world
You cain't save me from the game
I'm in it for the money, fuck the game
But everybody seems to know my name
And these hoes, know I ain't playin
Bitch I'm gone, and I ain't never comin back
Yeah I'm both - I'm a player and a mack
You ain't stupid! You know the business
You under new management and gotta go get it
Next time I see you have a stack of Ben Franks
Give it all to me, and tell a pimp thanks
Stuff it in the matress, we don't put it in the bank
Hundred thousand dollar car, puttin gas in the tank
Use my phone, tell your man you chose
Fuck all that old shit and get some brand new clothes
[Chorus]
[Too $hort]
You wanna go with me straight to the top?
You gotta check yes or no in the box
I was tellin hoes that shit in '76
All them dreams I used to have I knew I'd better get rich
I wanted all the bad bitches, and all the cars
Drop my top at night and see all the stars
I used to walk down the street daydreamin
And now it came true, these bitches stay creamin
And I still don't give no bitches no slack
Get involved with me, fo' sho' bitch you know that
I don't hold back, I put it out there
Do everything I say and don't doubt a player
Cause if you do - I ain't fuckin wit'chu
I'm through, I don't want nuttin from you
Just listen to the song
While I put the pedal to the metal, bitch I'm gone
[Outro]
Too $hort mixtape
Still blowin baby
Album comin soon
You know you want that shit
I know you want it bitch!
In "I'm Gone," Too $hort raps about his experiences as a pimp and his love for money and women. He declares that he's a player and a mack and that he enjoys pimping women. He says that he can have any woman he wants, and if a woman wants to be with him, she has to accept his lifestyle. The chorus repeats, "Bitch I'm gone! (Is you gone?) Bitch I've been gone! (Is you gone?)" which suggests that he's leaving all his troubles behind and moving on.
Too $hort's lyrics are provocative and controversial, but they also reflect on the reality of the pimp culture. Pimps would often recruit women with promises of love and protection only to exploit them for their own gain. The song also alludes to the misogyny and objectification of women that are prevalent in hip hop music.
The song showcases Too $hort's confidence and swagger as he declares himself to be a successful and wealthy man who can get whatever he wants. By constantly repeating the phrase "Bitch I'm gone," he emphasizes that he's leaving everything behind and starting anew.
