[Chorus: Carl Thomas, The Notorious B.I.G. & Puff Daddy]
The world is filled✦ with pimps and hoes
We'll just talk about✦ those I knows (Make it hot) (Play on playa)
(Play on)
The world is mine (Make it hot), can't you see? (Uh)
I'm just tryin' to be all I can be (Make it hot) (Uh)
Ohhahhoahh,✦ yeah (Uh)
[Verse 2: The Notorious B.I.G.]
"When the Remy's✦ in the system,✦ ain't no tellin'✦
When I fuck 'em, will I diss him?", that's what these hoes yellin'✦
I'm a pimp by blood, not relation
Y'all still chase 'em, I'll replace✦ 'em, huh
Drunk off Dom, silk and gators
Spittin' words, make a bird tell they flock see you later✦
Whether, drunk or high, skunk or Thai
Nigga✦ play against a playa, shit, slugs gon' fly
Ain't gon' lie, pimped✦ out her SSI
Nigga✦ don't ask why, just respect✦ it
She bought me the necklace,✦ the bracelet
The Benz-o✦ - she laced✦ it
Crib-o,✦ got it, interior decorated✦
Now my popularity grew in each state (Uh)
Now I got two in each state (Uh)
Used✦ to drink brew and eat steak
Now I pop bottles with models, larger✦ steaks on large estates, shit
[Chorus: Carl Thomas, The Notorious B.I.G. & Puff Daddy]
The world is filled✦ with pimps and hoes
We'll just talk about✦ those I knows (Make it hot) (Play on playa)
(Play on)
The world is mine, can't you see?
I'm just tryin' to be all I can be (Uh huh) (Make it hot)
Ohhahhoahh,✦ yeah (Yeah, Too $hort)
[Verse 3: Too $hort & Puff Daddy]
I had a whole lot of bitches in my lifetime
I been blessed with the game, always✦ say the right lines✦
Had a few prostitutes, and if you knew the truth
They're like pimps, you can't let 'em do it to you (Ahaha)✦
She ain't no sucker✦ (Ah-ah),✦ I know that bitch, man
She wanna✦ be a Pretty✦ Woman✦ lovin'✦ a rich man (Yea)
Now here you come, drop top ridin'✦
You ain't no pimp, fake nigga,✦ stop lyin' (Stop lyin')
Pussy✦ makes✦ money,✦ stick to the business
Think about✦ the real motherfuckers that lived✦ it
Street life, pimp shit, make the ho respect✦ the game
You bought her diamonds and cars, trick, that's a shame
Say what you want, but I still figure✦
She left you 'cause you couldn't be like them real niggas✦ (Ah-ah)✦
She was a hustler by nature✦ and you was just faker✦ (That's right)
Than the average simps, found a badder✦ pimp (Come on)
Too Short

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"pimp by blood, not relation"
① A natural, innate quality of being a pimp ('by blood').② Clarifying that his pimp status is a lifestyle choice/profession, not an inherited genetic trait or familial connection.
"Now I got two in each state"
① Refers to having two women/prostitutes in every location he visits.② A double entendre referencing having 'two' (either two homes, two cars, or two hustles) in every territory, playing on the previous line about popularity growing.
"Used to drink brew and eat steak"
① Literal description of his former diet/lifestyle.② Phonetic callback to 'grew in each state'—the rhyme scheme evolves from 'state' to 'steak', closing the thought with a comparison of his past and present.
Exceptional rhythmic placement of multis
Commanding, charismatic vocal presence
Use of rhythmic 'o' suffixing (Benz-o, Crib-o) to maintain rhyme lock
Seamless transitions between narrative and flex bars
Content relies heavily on established persona tropes of the era
Vocabulary remains relatively surface-level compared to his more complex storytelling tracks
