Pimpin' Ain't No Illusion - Lyrics - Ugk
UGK was an American hip hop duo from Port Arthur, Texas, formed in 1987, by the late Chad "Pimp C" Butler. He was then joined by Bernard "Bun B" Freeman, who became his longtime collaborator. They released their first major-label album Too Hard to Swallow, in 1992, followed by several other albums charting on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B Hip-Hop Albums charts, including the self-titled Underground Kingz album, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, in August 2007. The duo has also been featured on hit singles by several other artists, such as on "Big Pimpin'" by Jay-Z and "Sippin' on Some Syrup" by Three 6 Mafia. Pimp C founded UGK Records in late 2005. On December 4, 2007, Pimp C was found dead in a West Hollywood, California hotel room.

[*** C:]
(Uh, Uh) One time for yo' muthafuckin'...(whuut)
Back, *** (uh)...Kool Ace (whuut), UGK...(huh)
[Chorus: *** C]
Pimpin' ain't no illusion,
And pimpin' ain't never died.
Mo' pimps was on that ***
And yo' *** tripped out on that fry.
The dikes done came through
And straight threw off all the game;
Got all these hoes thinkin'
They could manage they own change.
[Kool Ace:]
But it ain't no illusion,
I know...you all have witnessed
He rollin' in my Caady mo'
Wit' fly ***,
Makin' ole deals: Now, ho (huh, huh)
Ain't Bob Barker
But I'm caught up in this game
Mo' like...Peter Parker.
P-I-M-P, take the P's that I am.
I want you payin' hoes in my army
Like...uh...Uncle Sam,
And we gon' jam...
I'm talkin' 'bout the world greatest show
I know my *** is extreme
But I'm all about them does.
When I'm steppin' on the scene
Be there four deep...hella clan
My reality is your favorite dream
(Stop that ***, daddy...)
Best believe Kool Ace gon' keep it real.
*** C & Bun B to testify for the ear
Excuse me, y'all, but this about Southern ***.
Now, tell me can you...uh...feel this, ***?
We givin' 'em brain contusions...
*** C, what's the conclusion?
[*** C:]
Pimpin' ain't no illusion...
[Chorus: x2]
[*** C:]
Pimpin' ain't dead...***, it just began
(How the *** you know Sweet Jones?)
My hoes still out there sellin' ***.
Yo' *** is out of pocket,
'Cause yo' pimpin' was scary;
Real hoes gon' front on a simp
But she gon' do it for daddy.
*** *** watch them mack and *** on my floozie;
But, boy, my *** know the difference
Between real pimpin' and movies
It's the difference between real leather
And that *** at yo' house.
I don't know what y'all doin' up there,
But we really pimpin' in the South.
Every since I was 17,
I been stackin' my green:
Went for servin' rocks to fiends,
And rockin' club full a teens.
Went from bumpin' Screw in Houston,
Sippin' promythazine,
To ridin' in a 8 600 with sheath,
To smokin' on sticky green.
I'm still *** C, ***
I'm claimin' P.A., they hate us;
But, me and Kool Ace rollin' a Lexus
Sittin' on all gold Daytons.
***, take a look around
Those hoes steady choosin'.
This is the conclusion: pimpin' ain't no illusion.
[Chorus: x2]
Bun B:
If you got any love fo' that broad you wit'
***, move her 'fore you lose her,
'Cause a beggar ain't a muthafuckin' chooser.
Third leg is a *** abuser, infamous
In cities where big pimpin' is my hoes clean.
No AIDS, herpies, cyphillis
Come catch a wif a this...
Damn, can't you taste it?
Now yo' money's up in smoke
Like you freebased it.
Now *** replaced it
Wit' a *** favor
But don't get mad at real pimpin', ***
Check yo' behavior...and savor
The aroma from Promona to Tacoma;
Got my pimpin' diploma for bein' a Cadillac chromer.
*** a Sonoma...
I'm on a mission for Benzes
Knowin' 'xactly where my ends is, ballin' relentless.
And then my friends is
Slappin' *** with glass chins
It's funny...sendin' tricks home
Broke and defenseless; and, ever since this
Boy been pimpin' the pen,
I promise never to ever leave home
Without my pimpin' again...that's why...
[Chorus: x2]
[Too $hort:]
You know, I got to tell you players what I'm talkin' about:
My *** got bold opened a bank account.
When I found the *** checkbook,
I didn't get mad
'Cause there was no doubt that I be gettin' the cash.
I broke it down to her,
She gave me the dough;
Do you remember what you was
Before I made you a ho?
You was a broke ***,
You couldn't even smoke ***,
Couldn't stay fo-cused,
And, don't forget it, ***...
Yo' whole life changed the day you met me.
Now you think you need a bank account,
Baby, I can't see
You managin' this money...it's too much.
All you do is look good...
And then you ***.
Git my money, git yo' money
It's all the same.
The *** ain't even funny when you talk about this game.
They call me Too $hort, baby
I'm still in it.
Ain't no camouflage, nuttin' but this real pimpin'...beeyatch.
[Chorus: x3]
...pimpin' ain't no illusion
