Terrence Howard - Hard Out Here for a Pimp Lyrics

You know it's hard out here for a pimp (you ain't know, nigga)
When he tryin' to get this money for the rent (you ain't know, nigga)
For the Cadillacs and gas money spent (you ain't know, nigga)
Will cause a whole lot of bitches jumpin' ship (you ain't know, nigga)
You know it's hard out here for a pimp (you ain't know, nigga)
When he tryin' to get this money for the rent (you ain't know, nigga)
For the Cadillacs and gas money spent (you ain't know, nigga)
Will have a whole lot of bitches jumpin' ship (you ain't know, nigga)

In my eyes, I done seen some crazy thangs in the street
Gotta a couple hoes workin' on the chain just for me
But I gotta keep my game tight like Kobe on game night
Like takin' from a ho don't know no better
I know that ain't right
Done seen people killed, done seen people deal
Done seen people live in poverty with no meals
It's f*cked up where I live, but that's just how it is
It might be new to you, but it's been like this for years
It's blood, sweat and tears when it come down to this shit
I'm tryin' to get rich 'fore I leave up out this bitch
I'm tryin' to have thangs but it's hard for a pimp
But I'm prayin' and I'm hopin' to God I don't slip, yeah

You know it's hard out here for a pimp (you ain't know, nigga)
When he tryin' to get this money for the rent (you ain't know, nigga)
For the Cadillacs and gas money spent (you ain't know, nigga)
Will cause a whole lot of bitches jumpin' ship (you ain't know, nigga)
You know it's hard out here for a pimp (you ain't know, nigga)
When he tryin' to get this money for the rent (you ain't know, nigga)
For the Cadillacs and gas money spent (you ain't know, nigga)
Will have a whole lot of bitches jumpin' ship (you ain't know, nigga)

Man, it seems like I'm duckin', dodgin' bullets everyday
Niggas hatin' on me 'cause I got hoes on the tray
But I gotta stay paid, gotta stay above water
Couldn't keep up with my hoes, that's when shit got harder
North Memphis where I'm from, I'm 7th street bound
Where niggas all the time end up lost and never found
Man, these girls take me through thangs, leave a big headache
I'm hopin' every night, they don't end up bein' dead weight
I got a snow bunny and a Black girl too
You pay the right price and they'll both do you
That's the way the game goes, gotta keep it strictly pimpin'
Gotta have my hustle tight, makin' change off these women, yeah

You know it's hard out here for a pimp (you ain't know, nigga)
When he tryin' to get this money for the rent (you ain't know, nigga)
For the Cadillacs and gas money spent (you ain't know, nigga)
Will cause a whole lot of bitches jumpin' ship (you ain't know, nigga)
You know it's hard out here for a pimp (you ain't know, nigga)
When he tryin' to get this money for the rent (you ain't know, nigga)
For the Cadillacs and gas money spent (you ain't know, nigga)
Will have a whole lot of bitches jumpin' ship (you ain't know, nigga)
