[Hook]
Pimpin'✦ ain't no illusion✦
And pimpin'✦ ain't never✦ died
Old pimps was on that heroin✦
Yo' pimp tripped✦ out on that fry
The dikes✦ done came through
And straight threw off all the game;
Got all these hoes thinkin'✦
They could manage✦ they own change
Pimpin'✦ ain't no illusion✦
And pimpin'✦ ain't never✦ died
Old pimps was on that heroin✦
Yo' pimp tripped✦ out on that fry
The dikes✦ done came through
And straight threw off all the game;
Got all these hoes thinkin'✦
They could manage✦ they own change
[Verse 2: Pimp C]
Pimpin'✦ ain't dead...nigga, it just began✦
(How the fuck you know Sweet Jones?)✦
My hoes still out there sellin'✦ ass
Yo' bitch is out of pocket✦
Cause yo' pimpin'✦ was scary;✦
Real hoes gon' front on a simp
But she gon' do it for daddy✦
Fuck niggas✦ watch The Mack and try to pimp on my floozie;
But, boy, my bitches know the difference✦
Between✦ real pimpin'✦ and movies✦
It's the difference✦ between✦ real leather
And that shit at yo' house
I don't know what y'all doin' up there
But we really✦ pimpin'✦ in the South
Every✦ since I was 17
I been stackin' my green
Went for servin'✦ rocks to fiends
And rockin'✦ club full a teens
Went from bumpin'✦ Screw in Houston
Sippin'✦ promythazine
To ridin'✦ in a 8 600 with sheath
To smokin'✦ on sticky✦ green
I'm still Pimp C, bitch
I'm claimin' P.A., they hate us;
But, me and Kool Ace rollin'✦ a Lexus
Sittin'✦ on all gold Daytons
Bitch, take a look around✦
Those hoes steady✦ choosin'
This is the conclusion:✦
Pimpin'✦ ain't no illusion✦
[Hook]
Pimpin'✦ ain't no illusion✦
And pimpin'✦ ain't never✦ died
Old pimps was on that heroin✦
Yo' pimp tripped✦ out on that fry
The dikes✦ done came through
And straight threw off all the game;
Got all these hoes thinkin'✦
They could manage✦ they own change
Pimpin'✦ ain't no illusion✦
And pimpin'✦ ain't never✦ died
Old pimps was on that heroin✦
Yo' pimp tripped✦ out on that fry
The dikes✦ done came through
And straight threw off all the game;
Got all these hoes thinkin'✦
They could manage✦ they own change
[Verse 3: Bun B]
If you got any✦ love fo' that broad you wit'
Nigga,✦ move her 'fore you lose her
Cause a beggar ain't a muthafuckin' chooser
Third leg is a bitch abuser,✦ infamous
In cities✦ where big pimpin'✦ is my hoes clean
No AIDS, herpies or syphillis
Come catch a whiff of this
Damn, can't you taste it?
Now yo' money's up in smoke
Like yo ass just freebased it
Now bitch replaced it
Wit' a sexual✦ favor✦
But don't get mad at real pimpin',✦ nigga✦
Check yo' behavior and savor✦
The aroma✦ from Promona to Tacoma;✦
Got my pimpin'✦ diploma for bein' a Cadillac chromer
Fuck a Sonoma✦
I'm on a mission✦ for Benzes✦
Knowin'✦ 'xactly✦ where my ends is, ballin'✦ relentless
And then my friends is
Slappin' niggas✦ with glass chins
It's funny✦ sendin'✦ tricks home
Broke and defenseless; and, ever✦ since this
Boy been pimpin'✦ the pen
I promise never✦ to ever✦ leave home
Without my pimpin'✦ again✦ that's why
[Hook]
Pimpin'✦ ain't no illusion✦
And pimpin'✦ ain't never✦ died
Mo' pimps was on that heroin✦
And yo' pimp tripped✦ out on that fry
The dikes✦ done came through
And straight threw off all the game;
Got all these hoes thinkin'✦
They could manage✦ they own change
Pimpin'✦ ain't no illusion✦
And pimpin'✦ ain't never✦ died
Mo' pimps was on that heroin✦
And yo' pimp tripped✦ out on that fry
The dikes✦ done came through
And straight threw off all the game;
Got all these hoes thinkin'✦
They could manage✦ they own change
[Verse 4: Too $hort]
You know, I got to tell you players what I'm talkin'✦ about✦
My bitch got bold opened✦ a bank account✦
When I found the bitch checkbook
I didn't get mad
Cause there was no doubt that I be gettin'✦ the cash
I broke it down to her
She gave me the dough
Do you remember what you was
Before✦ I made you a ho?
You was a broke bitch
You couldn't even✦ smoke shit
Couldn't stay fo-cused
And, don't forget✦ it, bitch
Yo' whole life changed the day you met me
Now you think you need a bank account✦
Baby,✦ I can't see
You managin' this money,✦ it's too much
All you do is look good
And then you fuck
Git my money,✦ git yo' money✦
It's all the same
The shit ain't even✦ funny✦ when you talk about✦ this game
They call me Too $hort, baby✦
I'm still in it
Ain't no camouflage, nuttin'✦ but this real pimpin',✦ bitch
[Hook]
Pimpin'✦ ain't no illusion✦
And pimpin'✦ ain't never✦ died
Old pimps was on that heroin✦
Yo' pimp tripped✦ out on that fry
The dikes✦ done came through
And straight threw off all the game;
Got all these hoes thinkin'✦
They could manage✦ they own change
Pimpin'✦ ain't no illusion✦
And pimpin'✦ ain't never✦ died
Mo' pimps was on that heroin✦
And yo' pimp tripped✦ out on that fry
The dikes✦ done came through
And straight threw off all the game;
Got all these hoes thinkin'✦
They could manage✦ they own change
Pimpin'✦ ain't no illusion✦
And pimpin'✦ ain't never✦ died
Mo' pimps was on that heroin✦
And yo' pimp tripped✦ out on that fry
The dikes✦ done came through
And straight threw off all the game;
Got all these hoes thinkin'✦
They could manage✦ they own change
