Are you a pimp? Or you a hoe?
Are you a trick? What’s your role?
Know the game and you’re bound to
Adopt a pimp mentality and see it all around you

The pimps are the people who get money from hoes
Promising protection from danger and foes
They do a lot of work so that the hoe can go earn
But they get all the money that she makes in return

Hoes sell their body for money that’s why they do it
Then come back to the pimp and give all their cash to him
They lived a troubled past, it’s a common picture
They like the pimp cause he’s a father figure

If they had financial sense
They could work for themselves, instead of the pimp
But they buy flashy things and throw their money away
So they need the pimp to feel secure and keep them straight

A trick is a man who pays a hoe for sex
They support the whole system with the money that’s spent
She fucked a thousand dudes but it really changes nothing
Cause he needs his ego stroked and is happy to pay money

Are you a pimp? Or you a hoe?
Are you a trick? What’s your role?
Know the game and you’re bound to
Adopt a pimp mentality and see it all around you

Business owners are the pimps, controlling dividends
They recruit the best hoes to sell products and services
To be a boss takes a lot of leg work
But they’re rolling in the money from employee efforts

Cause workers are the hoes getting paid by the pimp
To push the businesses products and make the CEO rich
In return they get the safety of employment
Insurance, benefits, some even enjoy it

The customer is a trick
Spending their money on tons of worthless shit
Pathetic’s what their life is, look at this advertisement
For X amount of money you can buy yourself excitement

Are you a pimp? Or you a hoe?
Are you a trick? What’s your role?
Know the game and you’re bound to
Adopt a pimp mentality and see it all around you

The elites have mega power, and money for days
They pimp the politicians and execs in the bank
They run the corporations with a hand in their assets
And hire the best hoes to influence the masses

Prostitutes and politicians
The same position, ain’t no difference
Taking orders from the pimping elite
Otherwise they end up broke living back on the street

The poor and middle-class are society’s tricks
They buy the politician’s dream the product of pimps
Every four years a new story is told
But they’re tricked just the same the game never gets old

And that’s how it is when you’re dealing with pimps
Some of us are hoes, most of us are tricks
Spending money we don’t have, on shit we can’t afford
Impressing people we don’t like, no wonder we’re poor

But that’s how it goes
When you’re running barefooted trying to catch the Jones’s
It’s your life, choose a position
Buy shit, sell tricks, or boss up and pimp it

Are you a pimp? Or you a hoe?
Are you a trick? What’s your role?
Know the game and you’re bound to
Adopt a pimp mentality and see it all around you

PIMPS
The pimps are the men – and sometimes women – who get money from the hoes.

They promise protection for the women that hoe for them. And they also sell the hoe a dream. They use their charisma to make the hoe feel good and convince the hoe that they should give all the money to them.

The pimp mentality is one that involves persuasion and sometimes manipulation. Pimps have to do the work to manage the hoes, get them set up to work, and deal with their complaints. But in return, they get all the money the hoe brings in. And then the pimp makes the decision on how to pay the hoe. Pimps can treat their hoes good or bad, with respect or disgust.

Pimps have an incredible amount of confidence and are never shaken by what a woman does

HOES
Hoes are the women who prostitute themselves off. They sleep with men for money. Honey for the money. And then they come back to the pimp and give him all of the money.

Hoes generally have damaged backgrounds. They tend to lack a father figure or a male role model in their life. Many of them run away from home, have drug problems, or just want strong male direction in their life. They find the pimp mentality very attractive when they run into a man that has this.

In fact, they’re willing to give all the money they make to a pimp just to make him happy. Hoes could make lots of money if they had financial sense and worked for themselves. But they usually like to buy flashy things, blow all of their money, and live reckless lives. That’s why they need a pimp to set them straight and make them feel secure.

TRICKS
Tricks are the ones who pay the hoe for sex. They’re a trick because they’re giving their money for something they shouldn’t be paying for. Yet tricks will happily pay their money to sleep with a hoe who’s fucked 1000’s of dudes just to feel better about themselves.

Tricks support the whole system. They buy what the hoe is selling, which is really the pimp’s product.

The trick doesn’t take a second to stop and think about the decision he’s making and how dumb of a choice it is.

OWNERS
The CEO or owners of a business are the boss. They start the company, build it up, and make the money. They’re usually hoes as well, because they have to do the work when they start the company. But as it grows and they have sales, marketing, engineers, and other workers, the owners get to become the pimps of the company.

They control how the profits are divided, who gets paid what, who stays, who gets fired, who gets promoted, and who still needs to prove themselves.

Owners have a pimp mentality without even realizing it. They try to recruit the best workers (hoes) to their company (team), and get to reap the rewards of their work.

It’s not easy being an owner. Just like a pimp, you have to take care of your workers. You need to give them a nice office, benefits, and some time off once in a while. But in return the owners get to become rich off of the workers.

WORKERS
Workers are the equivalent in the business/working world to hoes.

They spend their hours working for the owners. The workers get paid by what the owners choose and help to make the owners rich. Workers may directly sell to customers, work on the product, do marketing, and so on. But all together they work to sell to the customers and make revenue for the business.

In return, they are promised safety of employment by the owners, benefits, insurance coverage, and other things that make them feel secure. Many workers had bigger dreams when they were younger, but for whatever reason started to think smaller. Most workers have negative self views, are in debt (student loans, mortgages, cars), and are only a few paychecks away from losing everything.

In the world of pimping and hoeing, the worker is the hoe.

CUSTOMERS
Customers, those who buy the products or services from businesses, are the tricks. They’re tricked into spending their money on a product/service from the workers that goes back to the owners.

In real life, customers aren’t always “tricked” in the sense that the product or service is always bad. Sometimes it’s exactly what they wanted. And other times it’s not how it was advertised.

But the advertisements on the billboards, from Facebook, and the convincing of the sales rep at the store, are all efforts to make the customer buy. The point here isn’t to always avoid being a customer because that’s close to impossible. But realize that the prestige associated with expensive brands is all game run on you by pimps through their hoes.

ELITES
Elites are the ultra wealthy and the mega powerful.

Again, I’m not even going to say all elites are bad. Humans are naturally corrupt, and a powerful human is bound to be corrupt. There some elites who may try to do good. But the majority battle amongst themselves with competing agendas to control society. Just like pimps are trying to out hustle other pimps and make the most money in their city.

Elites have executives from Fortune 500 companies and in the banks that take orders and execute influence for them.

They also have politicians they help to put in power in order to carry out their agendas.

With the power of giant corporations and charismatic politicians, the elites understand the pimp mentality. They are to get the best hoes to carry out their orders and influence the masses.



HIGH-END EXECS & POLITICIANS
The high end execs and politicians are the hoes for the elites. They are often put in power by them, and if not, quickly learn that listening to their demands is the quickest way to climb the corporate or political totem poll.

These are not the CEO’s or owners os small businesses or ones who own their companies after they’ve grown. Rather these are the CEO’s and other high end execs who are part of publicly traded companies, or companies where they don’t have majority ownership.

A small town politician may be legit. But once they start rising up to the higher ranks, they need the blessing of someone with a lot of influence.

However, both of of these are the hoes for their pimps.

MIDDLE-CLASS & POOR
The middle class and poor. This is the vast majority of the population. And middle class is becoming more and more poor, we’ll see the two lines blur.

Middle class and poor people are the tricks of the society. They’re buying into the dreams the politicians sell them and buy the products/services the corporations sell them.

Every four years they’re told new stories about how things will change and they believe the politicians every time. The problem is they believe the game that’s being run on them and don’t see it for what is is.
