[Too Short:]
I love things about you (it's alright) you got it going on
I'm not in love and this is not a love song, but you've been down for so long
You should never be wrong, I know it's all my fault
My mind been gone, I'm always on the chase
Lipstick on my face, when I get home
You gotta get on my case, cause I've been fuckin' up
Coming home smelling like her, I can't fuck it up
Call your mama tell her how it hurts, tell her
I'm a dog, but don't say that's all
I came in first place at the players ball, and now I got my skrill on
My new grill on, put you through some shit girl
But I know you're real strong, you say I never find a real one like you
But I never take the time to feel like you, I put the game down
The way it's suppose to be, don't be a punk ass bitch, just get open with me
[Too Short talking:]
Cause I'm a real player. A-yo Pimp see I don't think they feel us.
[Pimp C:]
There's a very thin line between love and hate
And there's a very thin line between a fuck and a date
Girl you know when I was hollering at you
I want to hit, I ain't got time to get caught up over a girl and lose my grip
I'm screaming "Steady pimp" you steady trying a change me
Running that game your mama taught you, bitch that shit don't faze me
Say bitch I'm Pimp see, I shall be seen again
But all that shit your cousin toldyou has gone in the wind
Just cause I pimp my pen, you think you moving in
Like I'm a trick I'm a let you have half of everything I spend
You talking week rent, I'm trying to whip a Benz
Flipping the club with pimps like Too Short, baby lady friends
Talking bout your sister saw me with a brand new bitch at the club
Coming at me with high school shit, bitch you must be in love
Space Age, new faze, I done payed the price
Hoping you ain't bout to rip my stable, she said I'm shift
But bitch that's alright
[Pimp see talking:]
You can keep your funky ass pussy, you know what I'm saying? Straight up.
What's up Short?
[Too Short:]
Shit go back to pimpology man. These hoe know it's alright though and if
they don't Bun will let them know.
[Bun B:]
Baby you're hangin' on a rope, it's getting crucial like dope
I can't cope, I guess the situation has lost all hope
Cause you've obviously flipped your lid, but what's done is did
I'm putting youup for sale for the highest bid
Or an ass from kid shit, you got me twist-ed
Little Bun won't be another statist-ic, this love affair went ballist-ic
Puttin' them messy ass hoes up in my mix like Bisquick
And thinkin' you gonna leave Big Bun juiced like mystic
Nigga believe me shit's thick, loves lost
nothing's gained but confusion about the pain
You losing about the same, you can't tame, a wild animal
Feeding lettece to a cannibal, make a grown man wear goranibals
And I can't handle, bullshit that's unnessessary
You can't handle being with a G, I guess it's scary
It's the very thing that put us together separated us
Player hated us, and things will never be the way it was
I hate to say it cause, but find another shoulder to cry on
Stop gettin' your lie on, baby it's alright
[Too Short talking:]
I want to dedicate this song to my bitch, quit tripping and bring your ass
home, baby I love you, al long as you got my money
[Pimp see talking:]
You know what I'm saying? It's 199 reits, know what I'm sayin', straight up
pimpin', you know what I'm talking about, I'm trying to see some papers,
some dead ones.
[Bun be talking:]
Some real shit going on, you know what I'm saying? This is Big Bun and I'm
out with my nigga Short and my nigga Pimp C. You know how players is with
bitches on your dick.
[Pimp see talking:]
Pimping ain't dead, they just scared you know what I'm talking about?
What's up Short?
[Too Short:]




Ain't no love bitch (ha ha ha ha) Beeotch. Tell them motherfuckers at Jive
to quit trippin'.

Overall Meaning

The song "It's Alright" by UGK/Too Short is a rap song that speaks about the thin line that exists between love and hate. It is about a man who is in a committed relationship yet still cheats on his partner. He acknowledges that he has been unfaithful and that his partner has every reason to be angry with him, but he still doesn't believe that it's worth ending the relationship due to his mistakes. Instead, he suggests that they work through their issues together.


The first verse is by Too Short, and he acknowledges the mistake of cheating on his partner. He speaks directly to his partner, acknowledging that she has been there for him in the past, and that he has been taking her for granted. He mentions that he has spent so much time chasing after other women that he’s lost touch with what’s important. However, he believes that their love is strong enough to overcome his infidelity, but he's still having problems staying faithful.


Pimp C's verse comes next, and he speaks about the impact of cheating on his relationship. He talks about how he's not interested in a romantic relationship and he just wanted to have sex with his partner but doesn't want to lose her due to his mistakes. He acknowledges that he’s a pimp, and he brags about the success of his profession. Pimp C ends his verse with the phrase "bitch that's alright," which gives the song its title. He's telling his partner that everything will be okay even though he has been unfaithful.


Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of relationships and the impact of infidelity on them. It suggests that even though relationships can be difficult, as long as both partners work towards a solution, things can be alright in the end.

And now I got my skrill on
Gotta new grill on,
put you through some sh** girl
But I know you're real strong
you say I never find a real one like you
But I never take the time to feel like you
I put the game down the way it's suppose to be
