| I’ll never forget, the Ward Brothers player | 
| Old school pimps like Roosevelt Taylor | 
| The list goes on for like three generations | 
| Oakland pimp shit, all in your face man | 
| Some other cities take pride in trickin | 
| You can hear it when their rappers start spittin | 
| Instead of you and yo' woman gettin money together | 
| You do all the hustlin, and she gets all the cheddar | 
| You tell her go shop, but she ain’t got a job | 
| Then you brag in your raps — to me it sounds odd! | 
| Cause I was raised by pimps in the O | 
| They taught me real good how to send a hoe | 
| And now you niggaz tryin to bend the rules | 
| You must have came up around some friendly dudes | 
| You need to stop doin all that extra simpin | 
| and change the words in your song and respect the pimpin | 
| You’ve got money but you got no game | 
| Think all the ladies wanna love youuuu? | 
| Probably gotta, make it rain | 
| Take her shoppin — respect the pimpin | 
| You a front for the game — you was posin | 
| Got your gators and your super Q | 
| Can you feel me? | 
| Respect the pimpin | 
| All I wanna be is well known now | 
| Drive a 'llac, big mack and do my own style | 
| Keep a freak, on the street, that fit the profile | 
| At the pad, money stack, watchin dough pile | 
| Reminiscin of a player that I once knew | 
| He had it all, went broke, but he still kept it true | 
| Bounced back, like a real mack, got a new sack | 
| New hoes, new clothes, and found a new track | 
| Now that’s a player that I always wanna be like | 
| Did dirt, went to church and lived the street life | 
| Ask $hort, ask Snoop, we gon' tell you the truth | 
| A real pimp, keep a prostitute, and she get lots of loot | 
| Do what she gots’ta do | 
| Come back with MOOLAH, like she 'posed to do | 
| And stay close to you, so if you ever fell | 
| Here’s the one most important thing about this tale | 
| Ask Michelle, Tammy and Nell, when they went to jail | 
| They know who came through with that bail — it was me! | 
| Cause I respect the P, do the same | 
| Don’t be no lame, respect the game | 
| Ooooooh, respect the pimpin |
