Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a little pimp, with my hair gassed back
Pair of khaki pants, with my shoes shined black
[Verse 2]
Got a little lady, walk that street
Tellin' all the boys that she can't be beat
[Verse 3]
Twenty dollar bill, I can set you straight
Meet me on the corner, boy, and don't be late
[Verse 4]
Man in a suit, with a bow-tie neck
Wanna buy a grunt with a third party check
[Verse 5]
Standin' on the porch of the Lido Hotel
Floozies in the lobby love the way I sell
[Verse 6]
Hot meat, hot rats
Hot cats, hot grits
Hot roots, hot shoots
[Verse 7]
Hot meat, hot rats
Hot cats, hot tits
Hot roots, hot suits
