Alright parents go head tuck the kids in, PG time is over
This goes out to all the macks in the industry..
Huh, alright roll the tape...
(..yo, rest day ain't for hoes..)
It's a good thing that we're rappin
If it wasn't for the rappin we'd be mackin
It's a good thing that we're rappin
If it wasn't for the rappin we'd be mackin
It's a good thing that we're rappin
There was a time when they called me Smooth Eddie
Playing the hoes and shook the red card steady
It was Mike to those that knows
Matter of fact, Icy Mike cause he was cold on them hoes
We was east coast n***** headin west
I was rollin shotgun, coolin with my man fresh Wes
The royal blue Brogham was a drop top rag
You could tell we was pimps from the Las Vegas tags
Cause that's how we flipped it
Hit a lick, paid cash, said nothin, pimp s***
All of this was around spring eighty one
I was in the life and had a good three year run
Anyway, one friday on the side of the road in L.A.
My man Wes says hey, "I got a b**** in San Diego"
"Cool", I said, "I'll see ya in a coupla days
I'm gonna stay and play some L.A. hoes"
He said, "alright player yo, I'll see you soon"
Yeah that's how real players kick it see there ain't no rules
We roll from city to city, like kids playing hookie
Later that night I knock a b**** named Cookie
She says, "I love you and I want to make you rich"
I says, "oh yeah", I swear I worked the s*** out this b****
She was fine too, n***** couldn't tell me nothin
Had brains too, did more stealin than f******
A real thoroughbred, played con like a pro
Man I'm tryin to tell you I had a money makin ho
But the Sunset track got stale, Cookie went to jail
Had to sling a little yale to make bail
She said, "I'm hot baby, I can't work in this town
The vice pick me up just as soon as you put me down"
I said, "shut the hell up ho
who asked you to run your mouth?"
She was right though
it was time to take a trip down south
And to this very day, when I think of how
I was livin back then I got to say that
It's a good thing that I'm rappin
If it wasn't for the rappin I'd be mackin
Good thing we got music
If not I'd be stuck with findin a way to get ahead
And then we got to use it
It's a good thing that I'm rappin
If it wasn't for the rappin I'd be mackin
Good thing we got music
If not I'd be stuck with findin a way to get ahead
And then we got to use it
They call it ho po when your leakin
So you know ho po is when yo po, cause you ain't got no ho
I was po but I wasn't po ho, cause I had one ho
But we was leakin cause the money was slow
Coppin blow means your goin up and down
I went from Cadillacs in Vegas to the back of GreyHound
San Diego off Broadway, there used to be a spot
I think E Street and 5th where all the players flocked
One night I was cooling outside
Saw my man Wes said, "ah s*** yeah, it's gonna be live"
I was working a doublebreast silk leaf suit
With my five hundred dollar brown knee-high Ballys
Wes said, "it's pimpin how you wear em outside ya pants
And by the way my ham sandwichs in the alley"
Ham sandwich meant Brogham Cadillac
Quarter inch stripes, wheel kit on the back
It was snotty nose, that means the extra chrome
Plate on the grill, for sunroof we say it had the brains blown
I said, "this b**** is inside, you ready to attack?"
Wes looked at me said, "Mack..Mack..Mack..Mack..Mack"
My mans pimp stroll was cold gansta limpin
We stepped inside, both of us screamed, "it's pimpin!"
I was drinking cognac, Wes was drinkin gin
Wasn't there twenty minutes fore my people walked in
I said, "what's up Cookie? how'd you do?"
She said, "cool, reach under the bar, so I can give you these feelings"
We always did it like that, case the vice squad was peepin
This time they wasn't, but this n**** who was leakin
Walked up and said, "yall gonna sell?"
Wes said, "n**** don't ya recognize the 'P' when you see it?"
He said, "oh, yo I didn't know, I thought she's doin business"
I said, "yeah, well it's true that she's a ho"
He said, "she with you, playa? cause I'd really like to buck her"
looked at her, said, "baby, I'm a raw m************"
I said, "yeah, that might be true, but she don't need another nucka"
Ain't no choosin, jump off slick, this one here's my snucka"
He said, "whatchu mean by snucka?"
"It ain't too hard to figga
You call your n**** nucka, snucka means she-n****
And figure this too, the b**** is down for my dirty drawers
Find another ho to go for yours"
He said, "but, I like her"
I said, "you must be a rookie"
Now figure this three, he cut me off and stepped to Cookie
He said, "how do you feel about this, my dear?"
I said, "n**** you don't check my b**** like I ain't standin here!
Now I told you that this woman sells p**** for me
You and her ain't the two, and we ain't the three
But most of all n****, I ain't the one
Now back the f*** up off me son"
He said, "to buck another man's game is a shame"
I said, "leakin a** n****, game recognize game
Now I told you that's my people and I gave you a chance"
Reached down and started pullin up the two from my pants
Shoulda capped his a**, instead
I look up and Wes done wrapped a pool stick round this n****'s head
So I put my s*** away, we beat him down cowboy style
Cookie runs up and says, "baby you okay?"
I says, "yo, all this excitements got you dizzy
What cha watchin? b**** get busy!
Go back outside and finish gettin my money!"
The bartender laughed, said, "you pimp n***** is funny"
And I'll tell you once again
It blows my mind, when I think how I was living back then
Cause yo
It's a good thing that I'm rappin
