Common - A Film Called lyrics

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 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 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 Motion denied 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 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 {Hey girl, come on over here, check it out) Make your next move your best move, choose me 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 (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 n***a you must not know of me I'm the mack here Ought to have you ho for me (get real now) Pimp yo punk a** Have you write me poetry I'm from a land called cash You too slow for me You know why?
