Lyrics
Stick up!
All fly pajamas in the air
And turn around with your face to the ground
Stick up!
Here we go
Who are the pimps? Who are the pimps?
Wimps, sittin' behind a desk
You only get a glimpse of their action or reaction
When you don't respond to them TAXING!
You fuck 'em up when your tax exempt
Like for the church, the rules were somehow bent
The more money you make, the more money you can have
You lose your mind after a while tryin' to just
Grab and grab and grab and grab and grab
Until the pimps roll around real mad
What they sayin'? "Pick up that money, ho!"
Did none of the work, but now a part of the show
You're a ho, your pimp roll around real fresh
Got letters on their chest spellin' I-R-S
And they be taxin' ass and sittin' back relaxin'
Pimpin' Asian, European, Blacks and Chicano
Haha, but they can't pimp a wino
Why? Because a wino don't want nothin'
It's when you try to get ahead they start frontin'
Capitalism, the system of pimps and hoes
I'm sorry that's the way it goes
In this particular system, everyone's a slave
Racist is how they want us to behave
White Johnny be fightin' Black Michael
Both are blind to the system's sick cycle
In a circle, psychotically they slay the other with a grin
Because the color of their skin
Pick up that money, ho!
Pick up that money, ho!
Pick up that money, ho!
Now we don't want to get you all alarmed
A little education never did you no harm
When Africa's free, the African will be free
Capitalism says we're all in slavery
They're not lookin' at the color of a human brother
April 15th, they're lookin' at your mother
Pick up that money, ho!
You work all week and now your money has to go to a pimp
And it's you that limp
They cut your check and take a tip
Don't wanna hear no lip about support a family
'Cause on a piece of paper, that's a fantasy
They don't care if you're in a bad mood
Your wife needs shoes, your kid needs food
Uh-uh, pick up that money, honey
The pimp's so serious they're funny
They'll look you straight into your face
And tell you that your money's going to a good place
Like Social Security or welfare
But if you go to the Bahamas, you'll see them all there
Pick up that money, ho!
Pick up that money, ho!
Pick up that money, ho!
Pick up that money, ho!
