Bilal - A Film Called (Pimp) lyrics

[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, a** 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 sh**, 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 n***a in a kufi If I was on a track you couldn't produce me With them sh**s 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 n***a you gone ho underground or ho mainstream [MC Lyte] n***a 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 a** Have you write me poetry I'm from a lane 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 a** 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 a** then give you the cash (Common: yep) That sh** 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 b**h n***as like you have my money I get six hundred off yo' skinny a** weekly You'll get all them righteous hoes in that dashiki [Common] Yo, what ever happened to loyalty Don't you want to become royalty On the streets selling a** and oils for me But you on this ho-asis and really I can't reach you f**you 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 sh** Yea, yea 2000 and forever It'll be here Uh, uh aiight cool
