| [Intro: repeat 2X] Ooooooh, respect the pimpin
 
 [Too $hort]
 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
 
 [Chorus: Silk-E]
 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
 
 [Snoop Dogg]
 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
 
 [Outro: repeat 3X]
 Ooooooh, respect the pimpin
