You may remember her as a slim honey When her man name was Pimp Daddy Hustler Stack Money A big time drug dealer from around the way Slingin rocks, makin G's everyday He drove a big fat Mercedes Benz And even bought her a car to perpetrate for her friends It was a brand new Jag, with the spoiler and rag And the girl was a nag, cause all she did was just brag I mean baaaaaaaaaaad -- we know your coat cost a lot You didn't have to leave on the price tag And count the times her stomach got plump Havin baby after baby by the same old chump And then the day came, he left the dame shamed But who's to blame? Y'all know the name of the game Pimp Daddy's wanted as he maxes and relaxes She can't even sue for money, pushers don't pay taxes So what's to do?

[Big Daddy Kane] Hey, if you think that s**, bust this Another little story as I reminisce About an old friend of mine that was livin out of order Makin money like water (illlllll-egal?) Yeah, sorta He sold d** and robbed a lot of people But in these days and times, who lives illegal? It's all about who knows the trade And who am I to knock him? Homeboy was gettin paid He chose his own lifestyle to live - it was negative But his own prerogative Makin cash to flash and stash in half the trash The cops made the dash (sufferin succotash!) Because he had to do ten in the pen And then begin again to apprehend, huh But what's lost is lost, the reign is over (Huhhh, see ya!)

So when you sat on the corner with a 40 ounce Talkin bout whattup? Can't even pronounce Your words correct, now in retrospect That's a shame - but in '89, who gives a heck?
