Stick up!!!
|
All gwan put your hands up in de air
|
and turn around with your face to the ground
|
Stick up!!!
|
|
Here we go
|
Who are the pimps? Who are the pimps?
|
Wimps, sitting behind a desk
|
You only get a glimpse of the action or reaction
|
when you don't respond to them TAXING
|
You fuck a lot when you're tax exempt
|
Like with the church, the rules were somehow bent
|
The more money you make, the more money you can have
|
You lose your mind after a while trying to just
|
grab and grab and grab and grab and grab
|
until 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 show
|
You're a hoe, you pimped all around real fresh
|
Got letters on they chest spelling I, R, S
|
And they be taxing, asking, sitting back relaxing
|
Pimping asian, european, blacks and chicano
|
Hah hah! But they can't pimp a wino
|
Why? Because a wino don't want nuttin
|
It's when you try to get ahead they start frontin
|
Capitalism -- the system of pimps and hoes
|
I'm sorry that's the way it goes
|
In this particular system everyone's a slave
|
Racist is how they want us to behave
|
White Johnny, be fighting black Michael
|
Both are blind to the system's sick cycle
|
In a circle psychotically they slay each other
|
with a grin, because of color of a skin
|
"Pick up that money hoe!" (3X)
|
|
Now we don't want to get you all alarmed
|
A little education never did you no harm
|
When Africa's free the African will be free
|
Capitalism says we're ALL in slavery
|
They're not looking at the color of a human brother
|
April 15th they're looking at your mother!
|
"Pick up that money hoe!"
|
You work all week, and now your money has to go
|
to a pimp, and it's you that limp
|
They cut your check and take a tenth
|
Don't wanna hear no lip, about support of family
|
Cause on a piece of paper that's a fantasy
|
They don't care if you're in a bad mood
|
Your wife needs shoes, your kids need food
|
Uh-uh, pick up that money honey
|
The pimps so serious they're funny!
|
They'll look you straight into your face
|
and tell you that your money's going to a good place
|
Like Social Security or Welfare
|
But if you go to the Bahamas you'll see them all there
|
"Pick up that money hoe!" (4X)
