Boogie Down Productions - Who Are The Pimps? Lyrics
Stick up!!!All gwan put your hands up in de airAnd turn around with your face to the groundStick up!!!Here we goWho are the pimps? who are the pimps?Wimps, sitting behind a deskYou only get a glimpse of the action or reactionWhen you dont respond to them taxingYou ***** a lot when youre tax exemptLike with the church, the rules were somehow bentThe more money you make, the more money you can haveYou lose your mind after a while trying to justGrab and grab and grab and grab and grabUntil the pimps roll around real mad, what they say?Pick up that money hoe!You done all the work, but now a part of the showYoure a hoe, you pimped all around real freshGot letters on they chest spelling i, r, sAnd they be taxing, asking, sitting back relaxingPimping asian, european, blacks and chicanoHah hah! but they cant pimp a winoWhy? because a wino dont want nuttinIts when you try to get ahead they start frontinCapitalism -- the system of pimps and hoesIm sorry thats the way it goesIn this particular system everyones a slaveRacist is how they want us to behaveWhite johnny, be fighting black michaelBoth are blind to the systems sick cycleIn a circle psychotically they slay each otherWith a grin, because of color of a skinPick up that money hoe! (3x)Now we dont want to get you all alarmedA little education never did you no harmWhen africas free the african will be freeCapitalism says were all in slaveryTheyre not looking at the color of a human brotherApril 15th theyre looking at your mother!Pick up that money hoe!You work all week, and now your money has to goTo a pimp, and its you that limpThey cut your check and take a tenthDont wanna hear no lip, about support of familyCause on a piece of paper thats a fantasyThey dont care if youre in a bad moodYour wife needs shoes, your kids need foodUh-uh, pick up that money honeyThe pimps so serious theyre funny!Theyll look you straight into your faceAnd tell you that your moneys going to a good placeLike social security or welfareBut if you go to the bahamas youll see them all therePick up that money hoe!
