Rucka Rucka Ali - Ring A Ding Dong lyrics

I know how it feels to be left out
And that's what bein' Black is all about
Something's always goin' wrong
And that's why I'm rappin' this song
I grew up livin' in the Hood
It was always bad, it was never good
I couldn't even hardly go outside
Where we heard gunshots, we had to hide
Not like we could have called the cops
They'd beat our asses and plant some Rocks
Police never cut us slack
If you ask me it's cause we're Black
Man, it's hard livin' in the streets
Ain't never got nothin' to drink or eat
Lucky if we got some Ramen and Kool-Aid
We don't get food stamps till next Tuesday
And even If I had a little bit of money
Somebody would snatch it and take off running
No place for me to get a job
Everywhere I work keep gettin' robbed
I guess that's why I started sellin' Coke


Hey! It's better than bein' broke
Dealin' on the corner Day and Night
I can finally afford those shoes I like
Got some hubcaps on my Datsun
And I could get a haircut whenever I want one
Everybody knew that I'm the man
When I roll up, you can hear me sayin'

A ring a ding dong, I'm number one
I'm the number one pimp
Livin' under the Sun
A ding dong deezy we's 'bout to get busy
Got a gun and I'm red hot, ready to run
A boom shaka lac, I'm on the clock
Gonna dance and sing and swing
A little bit of Rock
I'm hippidy hoppin' 'till the day is done
I don't rap for the money
I just wanna have fun

One day I was sitting out
With my boy Eggnog, just chilling out
Talkin' 'bout stuff like Basketball
When his phone started ringin'
He was gettin' a call
He hung up the phone and said yo
There's trouble i said well
I'm down to bust a cap or a couple
We got up to leave when a car pulled up
A four-seat convertible ride with five sluts
One of them ladies was lookin' real fine
With big ol' titties and a round behind
I told Eggnog yo, that one's mine
He said Rucka! You out your mind?!
I said what's wrong? Look she flirting
Yeah but the only problem is SHE DIRTY
Ali, don't bone her!
I don't give a shit if ya got a bo-ner!
And that's when things got kinda heavy
Cause all them girls pulled out a Machete
They started to shoot Eggnog and me
We got the feeling it was time to leave
We ran off and said well, that was fun
I don't know 'bout you but
Let's smoke a blunt
We got real high, it felt real good
Cause it was just another day in the Hood

A ring a ding dong, I'm number one
I'm the number one pimp
Livin' under the Sun
A ding dong deezy we's 'bout to get busy
Got a gun and I'm red hot, ready to run
A boom shaka lac, I'm on the clock
Gonna dance and sing and swing
A little bit of Rock
I'm hippidy hoppin' 'till the day is done
I don't rap for the money
I just wanna have fun

A ring a ding dong, I'm number one
I'm the number one pimp
Livin' under the Sun
A ding dong deezy we's 'bout to get busy
Got a gun and I'm red hot, ready to run
A boom shaka lac, I'm on the clock
Gonna dance and sing and swing
A little bit of Rock
I'm hippidy hoppin' 'till the day is done
I don't rap for the money
I just wanna have fun

Yeah! Hip hop music! All day and all night!
You can dance to it or just move your head!
Soon everybody's gonna be
Listenin' to this, man! Even White people!
But then it'll go too far
And rap will get kinda gay
Not that there'll be anything
Wrong with that being gay will be pretty
Much accepted by everyone
Except us Black people kind of ironic, huh?
