[Intro]

Who we got up next?

Ray Luv

Oh okay, uh-huh, what he call this one?

Rather be a pimp

Yeah I'd rather be a pimp too

Lookie here, some of you janky ass mother fuckers ain't nothin but bitches anyway

We gonn' call ya bitches with dicks motherfucker

I gots to stay a pimp


[Verse 1: Ray Luv]

Pimps up hoes down I thought you knew

Either be a top notch player or a prostitute

I learned that shit quick

Known before the fame came

Lesson number one

Suck a little game man

Hang with OGs, pimps players hustlers and ballers

Then the pen it was little brother to the shot callers

Lesson number two

Don't be a hoe cause they giving up ass to the next nigga makin his cash

He's the rover bend over

He's bout to run a gank, move

Pull it off smooth and take your ass to the bank dude

That's why I'd rather be a p-i-m-p than a s-i-m-p

Cause they don't get p-a-i-d

Regularly I mean daily

Pay me no attention if ya just can't pay me

Pimp shit, that's the game niggas is comin with

So if you ain't makin cash nigga you ain't running shit

You can be a sucker if you want to simp

But about me though, I'd rather be a pimp

[Chorus: Khayree, Ray Luv]

I'd rather be a pimp, I'd rather be a pimp

(I'd rather be a pimp)

I'd rather be a pimp

I'd rather be


[Verse 2: Ray Luv]

Hoes play the role like they all that

Why I call em hoes, cause they'll fuck any nigga that'll grow back

I pay them gold niggas no attention

You'd rather get your groupie ass in my lo tryna break my suspension

Cause I'm a player to the h-e-a-r-t

And you a p-l-a-y-a h-a-t-a player hater side busta

A hoe truster

Fuckin with a young hustler

Fool I thought you knew we was crew in this

Stayin true in this

Makin cash while we doin this

Yo Ray is a savage nigga

I told ya low key rosa

And smoked a bowl of doja

That's why I'd rather be a pimp G

Cause you either pimpin or you hoe'in and I'll be damn if a nigga pimp me

Cause when I smash up on the scene, clean

Flossin like a mother fucker niggas gon be mean muggin

So miss tricks off your mag

Don't flatter me

So fuck what you talkin bout trip, I'd rather be a pimp

[Chorus: Khayree, Ray Luv]

I'd rather be a pimp, I'd rather be a pimp

(I'd rather be a pimp)

I'd rather be a pimp, I'd rather be

I'd rather be a pimp, I'd rather be a pimp

I'd rather be a pimp, I'd rather be


[Verse 3: Ray Luv]

Pimpin ain't easy so they told ya

Cause nowadays you gotta be a back slash motherfuckin soldier get over

On the system

It ain't about having fame fool

Best a get right about your game goo

Pimpin peddlin all that and then hustlin jackin mackin

Niggas gonn do what they gotta do to keep they meal stackin

No slackin in my program

Fuck a slow jam

Yo Ray beatin down the block in a Brougham

Damn these hoes ain't choosey

But groupies and hoochies get chosen so how could ya chew me

You'll be stuck like Chuck tryna fuck with this young buck

Knuckle up and prepare to duck

I guess that's what being a Gs about

50 Gs about, for puttin MCs out

Yo Ray gettin more and more bitches daily

Takin hoes to the mo mo and get they pay

Gettin rich off a buck bitch I thought you knew

Young ray's a player like every other nigga in my crew

Cool ass talk and I walk with a limp

24K yo it's the playa pimp

[Chorus: Khayree, Ray Luv]

I'd rather be a pimp, I'd rather be a pimp

I'd rather be a pimp, I'd rather be

(I'd rather be a pimp)


[Interlude]

That's some cool shit (That's right, that's right)

Nuthin' but playa shit

Remind me when muthafuckas used to really, really pimp

You know what I mean?

I mean, pimp hoes (That's right)

Of course except for this one nigga named Les (Oh shit)

Nigga couldn't buy pussy, matter long pimp it

Muthafucka had one strain

Bitches, they was stranging on that heroin

That bitch made about 10 dollas a month

Ass, I'm tellin' you (They got the nerve to call theyself a pimp)

Yes, indeed


[Chorus: Khayree]

I'd rather be a pimp, I'd rather be a pimp

I'd rather be a pimp, I'd rather be


[Outro]

For the 1995, this the R-A-Y L the U the V

Comin' straight out the nizzoy bizzoy, representin' that L-I-N-K

And I wanna let you know, if you either a pimp or you a muthafuckin hoe

So you better be about yo scratch nigga

And have some muthafuckin paper in this 95, 96, you know what I'm sayin'

Hah, I'd rather be a pimp

You know what I'm sayin', Ant D-O-G?

(I'd rather be a pimp)

The game gets thicker, like my nigga the Mac say

(I'd rather be a pimp)

It ain't no

(I'd rather be a pimp, I'd rather be)

A muthafucka had to get his goddamn money on

When you seen your other homeboys round here, ridin' all of these Cadillacs

SeVille's, 9H's and shit, and here I am, a tennis shoe pimp
