[Verse 1]
When you out here in the cold, you can't trust a soul
Gotta play your cards, you can never fold
If you call yourself a man, you gotta hold your ground
Make a plan and don't let nobody hold you down
Can't be timid in these streets, if you tryna eat
Just make sure you got that heat incase they got some beef
I ain't got no time to chill, they gon' get you killed
Money on my mind, gotta pay some bills

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just ridin' round, ridin' round, ridin' 'round
With that thang, with that thang, with that thang
I'm just ridin' round, ridin' round, ridin' 'round
With that thang, with that thang, with that thang

[Chorus]
Because a pimp gon' be a pimp
A playa gonna play the game (shown up, shown up)
A pimp gon' be a pimp, don't hate the player, hate the game
Don't hate the player, hate the game
Don't hate the player, hate the game (shown up)
Don't hate the player, hate the game
Don't hate the player, hate the game (shown up)

[Verse 2]
Money come, and money go
Flip a dollar, stack some more
He just want love, he just want love, he just want love
But I give him none, I give him none
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just ridin' round, ridin' round, ridin' 'round
With that thang, with that thang, with that thang
I'm just ridin' round, ridin' round, ridin' 'round
With that thang, with that thang, with that thang

[Chorus]
Because a pimp gon' be a pimp
A playa gonna play the game
A pimp gon' be a pimp (shown up)
Don't hate the player, hate the game
Don't hate the player, hate the game
Don't hate the player, hate the game (shown up)
Don't hate the player, hate the game
Don't hate the player, hate the game (shown up)
Oh, yeah

[Bridge]
A pimp gon' be a pimp
A playa gonna play
Pimp is in my blood
Pimp is in my blood
Pimp is in my blood
It's in my DNA

[Chorus]
Because a pimp gon' be a pimp
A playa gonna play the game
A pimp gon' be a pimp (shown up)
Don't hate the player, hate the game
Don't hate the player, hate the game
Don't hate the player, hate the game (shown up)
Don't hate the player, hate the game
Don't hate the player, hate the game (shown up)
Oh, yeah
