[Intro: Captain Save-A-Hoe]

Aww shit, here come be pullin up in his 600 blowin big weed, y'all be cool man

[Verse 1: be -Legit/Too $hort]

[Legit:]
I blaze blunts all day get keyed all night
Be the one to take flight if the smoke ain't right
I'm tight, nicknamed Ike for the drama
It's baby and her mama, naked in a sauna
Down with the gang 'cause them flows be hard
Blue mink, Short, and my St. Brenard
Super bad man all around Hoo-J
Tell me what the fuck happened to the groupies

[Too $hort:]
What happened to the groupies, I thought they was comin through
To do everything we want em to
Supposed to be all good when they get here
Break niggas off, bitch we real playas
Baby in the red said "It's coo'"
She gonna give me some pussy, and some head too
I ain't trippin though, these bitches takin too long
I'm bout to call some other hoes on the phone

[Legit:]
Tell em I'm a hog nigga, need a triple-X bitch down to stick
Turn tricks switched the dick
there's hips outside and I'm fo' sho' dat
And the finest ho she know where mo' at
Gotta show that, nigga tuck my jewels
Can't be slippin with a bitch, niggas know that shit
Hit me at the room when the hoes come
It be at 301 we callin for some

[Too $hort:]
Where they at be -Legit where they at? (where they at)
Let these bitches know there's some real playas back
Told her meet me in room 510 on the mattress
If you do it right then I'll be back bitch
Another showdown, in yo' town
Let everybody know you my ho now
I'm feelin way too cool off the gin and juice
I'm bout to fuck my bitch and her friend too (and her friend too)

Captain Save-A-Hoe:
Damn, see man y'all niggas is trippin man,
niggas this '98 y'all actin like its still '88
Short cussin, and all this bullshit,
check this out--see baby and them leavin see?
Baby come here, c'mon, baby don't even trip, just kick it for a lil while
You know what I'm sayin? I'll take you to Sizzler to go eat after awhile
I'll make em stop trippin, don't even trip baby its all good

Verse 2: Too $hort/B-Legit

Too $hort:
I'm feelin good, everything hooked up right
Before its all over I'ma be in som'n tight
Looked down at my hip to check my pager
Tryin to find me a bitch, fresh off the stage
Nigga ain't hungry, fuck the after party
Told a cute groupie "Bitch meet me in the lobby"
You know how we do it, told her bring all her friends
Next weekend we gonna do it all again

be -Legit:
I said it out my mouth on the mic real loud
We at the Holiday-Inn, room 510
Bring all the bitches even if they dikes
We hyped, hoes eatin pussy tonight
Seen her in my mug, peepin my game
Lookin like she could take dick in the brain
We all champagne and Cali green
I need a bitch like that on a pimp team

Too $hort:
It's after midnight, can't find the right women
Can't be slippin while you're late night pimpin
Way too many niggas got stuck like that
Waited too late then fucked a rat
Wake up in the mornin, mad as hell
With the wrong bitch in the wrong hotel
Shoulda gave up when you first struck out
Now you tryna get the fuck out

be -Legit:
Man I was drunk when I went out, blow when I woke up
Didn't get to fuck 'cause these hoes is ducks
Niggas like me need the head lay on
From bad ass bitches who prefer red bones
Rock microphones, later count G's
Could always spot a rat chasin niggas with cheese
Please, put it on freeze, it don't suit me
What happened to the muthafuckin groupies? (muthafuckin groupies)

Captain Save-A-Hoe:
What happened? nigga they all left, that's what happened
y'all muthafuckas gonna be sittin around all night talkin to each other
Oh that's cool, y'all got some muthafuckin Playboy magazines
So I guess that's why y'all ain't trippin, check this out man
y'all niggas gotta understand one thing man
Bitches don't love to be talked to like that, y'all gotta break down
Be cool with a bitch, ya know what I'm sayin?
Show her some caring and shit, understand me?

Verse 3: be -Legit/Too $hort

be -Legit
I remember when the shit first began
I used to fuck the dog shit out my biggest fans
Four in the mornin we hit the waffle spot
Then its back to the telly for some more cock
Shit was non-stop, don't choose too fast
there's a gang of more bitches with way more ass
Up and down the hall with the bad-ass body
Groupies lookin for the after party

Too $hort:
I used to be wild as fuck, get my dick sucked
On the back of the tour bus with two or three sluts
Check into my suite, order somethin to eat
Knockin at my door, its another lil freak
Right up the hall on the same flo'
You could stand in line and run a train on the ho
Top-notch or rat, skinny or fat
be -Legit, where all the groupies at? (groupies at)

[-Legit:]
In the room with the tricks gettin big faces
But they really want to know how the dick tastes
I used to get fucked, fall asleep, wake up
Kick the bitch out and bump a freak
But nowadays, you gotta watch your route
Niggas savin hoes need to cut that out
So what they talkin bout, they shoulda been done came
I think they scared of a nigga with this real game

[Too $hort:]
What happened to the groupies, don't point your finger
They're all backstage chasin R&B singers
At the other concert, on the other side of town
I seen a few hoes but they wasn't down
Where the groupies at, I'ma ask y'all later
Probably out tryna fuck basketball players
Silly hoes, rappers got mansions
But we ain't tryna get into these tramp bitches

[Captain Save-A-Hoe:]
y'all niggas is trippin man,
y'all need to sit down and re-evaluate your morals man
y'all niggas gettin too old for this shit,
y'all gonna be sittin around in the club
Tryna figure out who goin home with ya old ass




You need to find ya a good woman, snatch her up, get her a BMW
She got kids, only do what you do, tell her "I got you"

Overall Meaning

The song "What Happened To The Groupies" by Too $hort can be understood as a reflection of the lifestyle of rap artists who made it big during the late 1990s. The song tells the story of two rappers (be-Legit and Too $hort) who are frustrated with the lack of groupies at a party they are attending. The lyrics describe their sexual exploits in detail and their continued pursuit of groupies. The Captain Save-A-Hoe, a recurring character in Too $hort's music, enters the song as a voice of reason, trying to convince the rappers to reconsider their attitudes towards women.


Overall, the song can be understood as emblematic of the hyper-masculine, misogynistic attitudes prevalent in rap music during the late 1990s.

The Captain Save-A-Hoe's character, on the other hand, tries to offer an alternative perspective, urging the rappers to respect women and seek out fulfilling relationships.
