2Pac - Minnie the Moocher lyrics
[2Pac - Minnie the Moocher lyrics]
I know this girl and her name is Minnie
Livin' in the projects didn't own a penny
Met her at a school dance so I took a chance
Walked her to the parkin' lot
For a little romance
Got to my car, put the key in the ignition
Turned on the slow jams, I was on a mission
I was catchin' wild things
Like the chicken pox
I was "J" and knockin' boots
Right down the socks
She was freaky and wild
Oh man could I call it?
But when I dropped her off
She had stole my wallet
I couldn't quite believe that
Why a hoocher-coocher?
But that was my first experience
With MINNIE THE MOOCHER!
Minnie the Moocher was a legend
On the block I'm from
A dream girl to many brothers
But true to none
Her reputation was enormous -
A real go-getter and once a brother met her
He wanted to get with her
Maybe it was her smile, her personality or
The way she shook her shimmy
Or the clothes she wore but whatever it was
Minnie the Moocher was an expert
Real heart-breaker, but never get hurt
She had this boyfriend, his name was Diamond
Helpin' Minnie out with the
Little social climbin'
Met with Politicians, peace to many others
Suddenly and instantly
They became her lovers
She took the power that they possessed
And Minnie did it all
Without gettin' undressed
Minnie dissed Diamond sayin' that he
Could not live with her
But he wanted payment for the
Things he did for her
He grabbed the gun sittin' on the nightstand
Minnie held the bullets
Put the pistol in her right hand
She was a legend to everyone who knew her
That's is my memory of Minnie the Moocher
Minnie had a boyfriend, a gambler
Addicted to poker, an alcoholic, a base head
Crack smoker he took her to Harlem
And all around Chinatown
He bought some base
A pipe a tape of hard rap sounds
She was an addict
Tired of the static and poverty
Sick of the same ghetto misery
See, Minnie was a young
Kid lookin' for excitement
Smokey was a hoodlum, headin' for inditement
Then one day their relationship stopped
When Smokey was killed by the M-IC-Cops
Minnie was hurt, lost without a clue to her
There was no chance of gettin' somebody new
So she walked home sadly, as bad as it seems
She cried herself to sleep to find
The man of her dreams
She had dreams and schemes about
The King of Sweden
He gave her things that this
Girl was much needin'
A plush house made of gold and steel
A diamond car with a plat in the wheel
Now you might think this is a lot of stuff
But to Minnie this was not enough
He bought a stable
Full of thorough-bred race horses
His meal she ate was a dozen courses
She had a fortune in nickels and dimes
And she sat around and counted
It a billion times
She had bank, yeah Minnie was clockin'
Had every sucker in the neighborhood JOCKIN'!
She would walk by tryin' all to wink her eye
Then she dissin', with zero reply
Livin' in the projects didn't own a penny
Met her at a school dance so I took a chance
Walked her to the parkin' lot
For a little romance
Got to my car, put the key in the ignition
Turned on the slow jams, I was on a mission
I was catchin' wild things
Like the chicken pox
