[Chorus: Big Daddy Kane]

Anything^✦ goes when it comes^✦ to hoes, they go

Pimpin'^✦ ain't easy^✦ (Pimpin'^✦ ain't easy)^✦

[Verse 2: Big Daddy Kane]

Well, I say... Extra!^✦ Extra!^✦

Here is a bachelor comin'^✦ straight at ya

I see trim and bag it, take it home and rag it

The Big Daddy^✦ law is anti-faggot

That means no homosexuality^✦

What's in my pants'll make you see reality^✦

And if you wanna^✦ see a smooth black Casanova

Bend over!^✦

'Cause I don't half-step when it comes^✦ to broads

The K-A-N-E'll^✦ go the whole nine yards

There's^✦ no time for coversation my dear

(Ohh!) Is all I wanna^✦ hear

So let's make a move, as I get smooth

'Cause the purpose I serve is to soothe

I'm tall, dark and handsome and all that junk

Even^✦ white girls be sayin' "Ooh, Kane's^✦ a hunk!"

Even^✦ Puerto^✦ Rican girls be callin'^✦ me papi

Some try to copy,^✦ but they look sloppy^✦

So imitators that wanna^✦ step to a

Brother like me, lick my manure^✦

[Chorus: Big Daddy Kane]

Anything^✦ goes when it comes^✦ to hoes, they go

Pimpin'^✦ ain't easy^✦ (Pimpin'^✦ ain't easy)^✦

[Verse 3: Smooth B]

I'm just goin' and I'm flowin'^✦ like a gigolo^✦

And when I used^✦ to be with Scott, I was a Super-Ho

But now I'm coolin'^✦ with Kane and Greg N-I-C-E

And if you girlies^✦ want my tip they gotta^✦ pay a fee

I love bonin',^✦ and all my friends they will agree

That when it comes^✦ to pimpin'^✦ hoes, it ain't easy^✦

First name, Smooth, last name, B

When I'm bonin'^✦ a girl, I make her feel heavenly

I like to make 'em wait, and then make 'em beg

And when I take off my clothes, then I form a third leg

They rub it with oils and suck it with ice

Now I'm sweating, my mind is in paradise

[Chorus: Big Daddy Kane]

Anything^✦ goes when it comes^✦ to hoes, they go

Pimpin'^✦ ain't easy^✦ (Pimpin'^✦ ain't easy)^✦

[Verse 4: Scoob Lover]

Tip-tip-toein', Scoob Lover's out hoein'

Braggin' to the fellas how my flattop was growin'^✦

Buyin' drinks for the ladies,^✦ money^✦ I was blowin'^✦

Right in front of me, hmm, not even^✦ knowin'^✦

A brown-skinned cutie; big, plump booty^✦

Nametag earrings readin'^✦ off "Tootie"

Bullseye, bing, the girl of my dreams

From my eyesight that was what it seemed^✦

I said, uh, "Come a little bit closer"^✦

To Scoob that night, choice guy, she said "Hi

Hi, hi, I've really^✦ been wantin'^✦ to meet you

I just got paid and I'll be very^✦ glad to treat you

How 'bout dinner,^✦ a Salisbury steak?"

I said, "Sorry^✦ Honey-Dip, but I already ate"

So I nudged^✦ the other^✦ girlies^✦ off my shoulder

Went for Tootie 'cause the girl was much older^✦

East to the Benz, I slowly^✦ walked^✦

Clearing out my throat so I cold start my smooth talk

Sex in my mind, I was sure of it

I wanted^✦ to tax that ass like the government

[Chorus: Big Daddy Kane]

Anything^✦ goes when it comes^✦ to hoes, because^✦

Pimpin'^✦ ain't easy^✦ (Pimpin'^✦ ain't easy)^✦

Anything^✦ goes when it comes^✦ to hoes, because^✦

Pimpin'^✦ ain't easy^✦ (Pimpin'^✦ ain't easy)^✦

[Outro: Ant Live]

Well, it's Friday^✦ night, ain't a damn thing funny^✦ --

Bitch better^✦ have my money^✦
