Pimp The Ho

Too Short · Life Is...Too Short [1990]

Pimp the ho



Pimp that ho



It's like Too $hort raps been around a while

I rocked to the beat and got my own style

I'm from the O city, and I said it before

I was born to mack, call me Playboy $hort

You wanna get freaky? Look at the time

We could do the nasty, but it's almost nine

My show starts at ten, I gots to go

Like the mack said, homie, pimp the ho

Check it out everybody, if you got two ears

Turn your radio up, Short Gog is here

If the bass ain't kickin, pick up the phone

Dial 911, tell em: turn it on

Bumped a cute young tender in a tight red dress

She had a soft booty, and a real big chest

She said, ";I love you";, said it again

At the motel freaked her and her friends

Like a Too $hort rap, and everybody knows

Like the Mack said, homie, pimp the hoes

Ain't no need in playin games, none at all

Fakin like a giant when you're just too small

No need to rush, take your time

To adjust to the changes in my rhyme

To you rappers - tonight's your night

You all jump straight up on your mic

Screamin ";I'm the best";, but let me see

I make a lotta money, could that be me?

He said, ";Hell no, I'm the king of the rap";

Looked me in my eyes, said, ";Deal with that";

I said, ";Hold on, buddy, don't talk that junk

You drank two 40s, now you must be drunk";

He said, ";Let's battle";, I said ";Go";

Like the Mack said, homie, I pimped the ho

All hail the king, go straight to hell

If your girlfriend's freakin on a freaky tale

Better play your rap and take mine off

Before the bitch gets wet and you're still soft

No need to rush, take your time

To adjust to the changes in my rhyme

I was on the turf, cold chillin out

When a sucker MC go
