A Film Called (pimp) Lyrics - Bilal

[Common talking] 

Yea,Yea,Yea 

You know, they call me a pimp, and you know what that mean 

I'm a Person that's Making Profit. See I pimp internationally 

I'm nationally recognized, locally accepted 

I pimp with the truth, that's the only method 

[Common] 

Seen her on Madison where Vice Lords be Travelin 

And Chevy windows be rattlin 

and badder than any other broads that I've seen in these parts 

Her body language spoke like a smart remark, eyebrows arched 

Thick lips, blond wig, nice tits, ass the size that I dig 

Asked her the name, one way to approach her 

See she had game, she needed me to coach her 

Expose her to some paper, freedom and culture 

The way a righteous pimp is supposed to 

[MC Lyte] 

As he came closer in his eyes I seen fortune 

I ain't having it like abortion 

Walking with this stick holding his tip 

Looked like a Black Panther that was trying to pimp 

It was cold as shit, I'm waitin on my ride 

Act like I didn't see him I tried 

[Common] 

Motion denied (pause) 

I felt the vibe like Roy Ayers 

She was used to seeing pimps in furs and gators 

Told her I'm an innovator, a gentlemen of leisure 

That's in tuned with nature, hold Common's hand 

I'm a take you to a pimps promise land 

Where no man can break ya, break ya, break ya 

Chorus: Bilal (singing) 

Pimps, ho's, hustlers, plans, dealers, 

customers, and bodies stuck in it, Oh my god 

Pimps, ho's, hustlers, plans, dealers, 

customers, and bodies stuck in it, Oh my god 

[Common] 

{hey girl, come on over here, check it out) 

Make your next move your best move, choose me 

[MC Lyte] 

How I look working for a nigga in a cuffe' 

If I was on a track you couldn't produce me 

With them shits on your wrist looking goofy 

[Common] 

(yea ok) 

I pimp without a pause, for the cause, I'm a rebel 

You been on the streets I'm trying to take you to another level 

You used to the same game, cats saying the same thang 

Nigga you gone ho underground or ho mainstream 

[MC Lyte] 

Nigga you must not know of me 

I'm the mack here 

Ought to have you ho for me (Common: get real now) 

Pimp yo punk ass 

Have you write me poetry 

I'm from a land called cash 

You too slow for me 

[Common] 

You know why? 

I'm thinking bigger than Bagets 

Birds in slick cars 

Or have you on the corner trickin in strip bars 

If you become mine the world would be ours 

Respect the game, and universal laws 

[MC Lyte] 

What, I oughta pimp slap your ass and make you fall against the wall 

(Common: try it) 

Why you in the game if you ain't even trying to ball 

I know pimpin ain't easy but damn you barely surviving 

We can't ride together cause you ain't driving 

(Common: oh it's like that) 

Chorus 

[Common] 

(this, this, this really how I look at it check it) 

You and I together is like Ashford and Simpson 

Picture us elbow to elbow at the hustler's convention 

[MC Lyte] 

Think I'm gone risk my ass then give you the cash (Common: yep) 

That shit is the past 

I got my own stable (Common: where at) 

I oughta pierce your navel and put you on the track 

Matter of fact I been looking for a ho that's abstract 

[Common] 

Girl you getting beside yourself 

I'm trying to guide you 

Help you see inside yourself 

I pimp with vision, I'm a help you see the light 

Have you covering your body and have you eating right 

[MC Lyte] 

(is that right) 

I'm pimp ho's, pimp pens, (Common: Say what) 

Pimp rhythms, pimp flows, 

Pimp men (Common: and pimp what) 

Pimp systems 

Got stores called big pimpin (Common: Where) 

Down South 

In Texas I ran the best ho house 

[Common] 

(So) 

I pimp from Brazil to um, Tokyo 

Have Japanese broads sayin 'choushi wa dou' (MC Lyte: Yea right) 

Bring'em back to the states to turn dates from Europe 

Made the dirtiest of hoes seem purer 

[MC Lyte] 

(HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha) 

(Common: Why you laughin) 

I'm laughin cause you funny 

I'm make bitch niggaz like you have my money 

I get six hundred off yo skinny ass weekly 

You'll get all the right tolls in that dashiki 

[Common] 

Yo, what ever happened to loyalty 

Don't you want to become royalty 

On the streets selling ass and oils for me 

But you on this ho-asis and really I can't reach you 

Fuckyou then I'm about to be a preacher 

[Common talking and Bilal Singing Background] 

Well there you have it ya'll 

The story of pimps and hoes ya'll know how it goes 

It's been the oldest profession 

The whole thing is like a lesson 

Ain't no second guessin 

Pimps ya'll, hustlers 

All that good shit 

Yea, yea 2000 and forever 

It'll be here 

Uh, uh aiight cool
