Too $hort, Snoop Dogg - Respect The Pimpin' lyrics

Ooh, respect the pimpin'
Ooh, respect the pimpin'

I'll never forget the Ward Brothers, player
Old school pimps like Roosevelt Taylor
The list goes on for like three generations
Oakland pimp shit, all in your face, man
Some other cities take pride in trickin'
You can hear it when
Their rappers start spittin'
Instead of you and your
Woman gettin' money together
You do all the hustlin' and
She gets all the cheddar
You tell her go shop but she ain't got a job
Then you brag in your raps
To me it sounds odd
'Cause I was raised by pimps in the O
They taught me real good how to send a ho
And now you niggas tryin' to bend the rules
You must have came up
Around some friendly dudes
You need to stop doin' all that extra simpin'
And change the words in your
Song and respect the pimpin'

You've got money but you got no game
Think all the ladies wanna love you?
Probably gotta make it rain
Take her shoppin' respect the pimpin'
You been frontin' for the cameras, posin'
Got your Gators and you're super cute
Can you feel me? Respect the pimpin'

All I wanna be is well known now
Drive a 'Lac, big mack and do my own style
Keep a freak on the street
That fit the profile
At the pad, money stack, watchin' dough pile
Reminiscin' of a player that I once knew
He had it all
Went broke but he still kept it true
Bounced back like a real mack, got a new sack
New hoes, new clothes and found a new track
Now that's a player that I
Always wanna be like did dirt
Went to church and lived the street life
Ask Short, ask Snoop
We gon' tell you the truth
A real pimp keep a prostitute
And she get lots of loot
Do what she gots to do
Come back with moolah like she 'posed to do
And stay close to you so if you ever fell
Here's the one most important
Thing about this tale ask Michelle
Tammy and Nell when they went to jail
They know who came through with that
Bail - it was me
'Cause I respect the P, do the same
Don't be no lame, respect the game

Respect the pimpin' ooh, respect the pimpin'
Ooh, respect the pimpin'
Ooh, respect the pimpin'
