You know it's hard out here for a pimp
(You ain't know, nigga)
When he tryin' to get this money for the rent
(You ain't know, nigga)
For the Cadillacs and gas money spent
(You ain't know, nigga)
Will cause a whole lot of bitches jumpin' ship
(You ain't know, nigga)

In my eyes, I done seen some crazy things in the street
Got a couple ho's working on the changes for me
But I gotta keep my game tight like Kobe on game night
Like taking from a ho don't know no better, I know that ain't right
Done seen people killed done seen people deal
Done seen people live in poverty with no meals
It's fucked up where I live But this is how it is
It might be new to you But it's been like this for years
It's blood, sweat and tears When it come down to this shit
I'm trying to get rich 'fore I leave up out this bitch
I'm trying to have things But it's hard for a pimp
But I'm prayin' and I'm hopin' To God I don't slip, yeah

Man, it seems like I'm duckin' dodgin' bullets every day
Niggas hatin' on me 'cause I got ho's on the tray
But I gotta stay paid gotta stay above water
Couldn't keep up with my ho's that's when shit got harder
North Memphis, where I'm from I'm Seventh Street bound
Where niggas all the time end up lost and never found
Man, these girls take me through things
Leave a big headache
I'm hoping every night they don't end up being dead
Wait I got a snow bunny and a black girl too
You pay the right price and they'll both do you
That's the way the game goes gotta keep it strictly pimpin'
Gotta have my hustle tight makin' change off these women, yeah
