[Verse 1: Master P | Pimp C]

My partner gave me $50, put me in the game

I've been slangin' weed then I moved up to 'caine

Pushin' them boulders, slangin' them quarters

I got 'em two for three, goddammit, now I'm a baller

Pushin' mad weight, from state to state

Niggas ridin' dirty, on my mobile phone, it's UGK

Pimp C said, "P, what's really goin' on?"

I said, "What's really happenin'?," he said, "I got a pocket full of stones"

Now P be the new kid on the block

36 O-Z's choppin' up rocks in my rock spot

They label me a drug dealer, just another hard nigga

Rest in peace to 2Pac and the rest of y'all thug niggas

Players hookin' up, tryna make bucks

Sendin' work from FedEx and UPS trucks

Now we livin' lavish, caviar and cabbage

Peppers and beans, and grits and cabbage

Down South hustlin', ballin', and slangin'

Niggas teamin' up, some niggas gangbangin'

Used to drink 40s, now it's Moët

Used to roll Cutlass, now it's Benzes and 'vettes

Baguettes on my fingers, Rolex watches

Hoes on the block bounce that ass, I mean pussy poppin'

Label me an alien, just like OutKast

'Cause I made my money from the ghetto and I did it fast

'Cause I'm bout it, y'all know I'm rowdy

Ask Big Mo and John Henry if y'all doubt it

Hooked up with 8Ball and MJG

'Cause we tryna get a meal ticket from these streets

[Chorus: Master P | All]

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)

[Verse 2: 8Ball & MJG]

8Ball and MJG, Southside representin'

A nigga came to mention these hoes can't touch my pimpin'

Mobbin' through the swamp, P and me and G and UGK

Southern as a motherfucker, fuck what them hoes say

'Cause we's be lookin' for a meal ticket, which is, drivin' me crazy

"Lady, can I claim your baby?" Honey callin' me shady, maybe

Constructive thinkin', returnin' to ducats bankin'

Oh Lord, somebody save me, slice some meat off in my gravy

Captain Save 'Em, pay 'em, before you get to lay 'em

Got a real nigga job, so damn hard tryna play 'em

Weigh 'em, no, weigh me, 'cause that's what they gon' pay me

Pimpin' ain't dead, baby, just ask MJG

Who be I? MJG, he be me

But if I was he, and you was I, who would you see?

Where in the fuck is justice when you're hungry?

Or do it only pertain to bustas, fakes, and phonies

About that money, where my ticket?

[Chorus: Master P | All]

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)


[Verse 3: Pimp C]

Cocaine lady, white lady sellin' good

I'm leanin' on the leather and I'm grippin' on the wood

I'm peeling on the Grant, ballin' in the slant

Back, I'm Pimp C, bitch and trill niggas roll Cadillac

Bad ass bitches can't leave my dick alone

I done bought me a ki and changed my name to James Jones

Pimpin' ain't dead, ya heard what I said

How the fuck is pimpin' dead when bitches still givin' me head?

Lickin' my ass and Bun B done hit her


[Verse 4: Bun B]

Suck the nut up out of Butler, fuckin' slow down swamp nigga

Now bitch I be the prince of pushin' everything

The pope of Port Arthur, the king of the quarters

Fuckin with nothin' but queens and they daughters

Get lean sweeter than water, I flow like a Asian, Malaysian

Saudi Arabian, African I be blazin'

In the Golden Gate, swish it out

Holdin' weight, I hits the block, I'm rollin' bait

Them fiends come out, they know they got some stolen cake

I motivate, fiends, dealers, ballers, haters, shops and boppers

Jekyll and Hyde, Bonnie and Clyde, and niggas that ride with Glocks and choppers

What we out for?

[Chorus: Master P | All]

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)

Tryna get a meal ticket (Tryna get a meal ticket)
