But I'ma start it at home
When I see a girl I like, I walk straight up to them and I'm like

Uh, hey girl, how you doin'?
You are the woman that I'm really pursuin'
And I would like to get to know ya, can you gimme ya name?

And I hope you wouldn't mind if I showed you around
So when you go to certain places you'll be thinkin of me
We got people to meet and many places to see, hey
Mmm, I'm really diggin' ya lips
But be careful where you walkin' when you swingin' them hips
I'm kinda concerned that you'll be causin' a crash
With your traffic jam booty, heads pausin' so fast, hey
I wouldn't trade you for the world, I swear it
I like ya hair and every style that you wear it
And how the colors coordinate with your clothes
From your manicured nails to your pedicured toes (woo)

You know who we are
'Cause we're pimpin' all over the world
The fancy cars
The women and the caviar

Don't always think I'm tryna get in your pants
Um, 'cause see me, my pimpin's in 3D
I'm takin' you places you only see on TV
Tryna show ya how you livin' is trife
How many guys you know can bring the Travel Channel to life?
One day we on the Autobahn swervin', drivin'
Next day, we in the sun on the Virgin Islands
If you with me ain't no time to sleep
Especially at Wet Willies on Miami Beach
But I'll drop you off and pay you no attention
If I make it to Atlanta's Bronner Brothers convention
Then jump in the car and just ride for hours
Makin' sure I don't miss the homecoming at Howard
Hawaii to D.C., it's plenty women to see
So if yo' ass don't show up, it's more women for me, hey

(Oh yeah) the fancy cars
The women and the caviar
You know who we are
'Cause we're pimpin' all over the world
The fancy cars
The women and the caviar
You know who we are
'Cause we're pimpin' all over the world

I'm in New York at the Puerto Rican Day Parade
Then at night, I'm in New Orleans drinkin' hand grenades
Outnumbered by the dozens at the Jazz Fest
In Mardi Gras, all the women tryna show me they chest, ayy
I'm in Jamaica spendin' massive bucks
While the ladies all beggin' me to mash it up
I had sad beginnings when I rapped with no fans
Now it's all happy endings on my lap in Japan, hey
I used to think that it was way too cold
'Til I went to Canada and saw some beautiful hoes
Now I hit the Caribana every year in Toronto
Then fly to Illinois to get a taste of Chicago
Uh, oh yet and still
You wouldn't believe your eyes if you went to Brazil
(But where the best at?) Ain't no need of even askin' brah
The best women all reside in Africa, and that's real (woo)

(Oh yeah) the fancy cars
The women and the caviar
You know who we are
'Cause we're pimpin' all over the world
The fancy cars
The women and the caviar
You know who we are
'Cause we're pimpin' all over the world

Sing it, hoes (the world, the world, the world)

Pimpin' pimpin' pimpin'
Ladies and gentlemen as we ride out
Can we have all the real pimps
Please put both of your pinky fingers high in the air?
Now ladies, look around with me
Let's see if we can weed some of these nigg*s out
'Cause it ain't no way that all these nigg*s could be pimpin'
Now if you happen to see a nigg*
With two sweat patches up under his arms
Look like he been swimmin' in shoulder height water
Please tell that nigg*, "Put your hands down"
If you smell like you been at work all day and Drakkar
Please put your hands down
Now look up at the pinky fingers that are still in the air
If you see 'em ashy around the knuckles
Like the nigg* wash half of his hands
And lotion three quarters of his body
Please say, "Put your hands down"
If your spinnin' rims spin counter clockwise, you are not pimpin'
If you are dancin' on the dancefloor
And you look to your left and your right
And there is not a woman in sight
Guess what? You guessed it, you are not pimpin'
If your vodka and cranberry is really really dark like blood
That's because you didn't order Vodka, buddy
That's why it's three dollars a glass, a-put your hands down
Now look down, look down
Now I need, I need everybody to pull up your pants leg one time
Okay, you see the nigg* with the white socks? Not pimpin'

Sorry, unless you part of the Beat It entourage
If your shoes have a buckle on 'em, you're not pimpin'

(Oh yeah) the fancy cars
Let's acknowledge the luxurious cars

The women and the caviar
We're surrounded by glamorous women and enjoying the finest delicacies

You know who we are
Our reputation as high-end pimps is well-known

Cause we're pimpin' all over the world
We're spreading our pimping lifestyle to every corner of the globe

Sing it, hoes (the world, the world, the world)
Let the women sing along as we conquer the world with our pimping

All over the world, baby
This pimping lifestyle knows no boundaries, it's global

It's only right that I share my experiences with y'all
I feel obligated to share my extravagant experiences with you all

Cause I've been places you'll never imagine (that's right)
I've been to unimaginable places that most people can only dream of

But I'ma start it at home
But let me begin by talking about my hometown

When I see a girl I like, I walk straight up to them and I'm like
When I find a girl I'm interested in, I approach her confidently

Uh, hey girl, how you doin'?
Hello, lady, how are you feeling?

You are the woman that I'm really pursuin'
I have a genuine interest in getting to know you better

And I would like to get to know ya, can you gimme ya name?
May I have the pleasure of getting to know your name?

If you jot down ya number, you'll get mine in exchange, hey
If you provide me with your number, I will gladly reciprocate and give you mine

See I'm the man of this town
I hold a prominent position in this city

And I hope you wouldn't mind if I showed you around
I would be delighted to give you a tour and introduce you to the best spots

So when you go to certain places you'll be thinkin' of me
Whenever you visit certain places, they will remind you of the experiences we shared

We got people to meet and many places to see, hey
We have a busy schedule with important individuals to meet and exciting destinations to visit

Mmm, I'm really diggin' ya lips
I find your lips extremely attractive

But be careful where you walkin' when you swingin' them hips
Be cautious not to cause any accidents with your enticing hip movements

I'm kinda concerned that you'll be causin' a crash
I worry that your captivating presence might distract others and result in accidents

With your traffic jam booty, heads pausin' so fast, hey
Your enticing and captivating figure causes people's heads to turn and become stationary, akin to a traffic jam

I wouldn't trade you for the world, I swear it
You are so valuable to me that I would never trade you for anything else

I like ya hair and every style that you wear it
I appreciate and admire your hair, regardless of the different styles you choose

And how the colors coordinate with your clothes
I love how the colors of your hair match and complement your outfits

From your manicured nails to your pedicured toes (woo)
You take great care of your appearance, from your well-groomed nails to your perfectly maintained toes

(Oh yeah) the fancy cars
Let's not forget about the luxurious cars

The women and the caviar
We are still surrounded by glamorous women and indulging in the finest delicacies

You know who we are
Our reputation as high-end pimps remains unchanged

Cause we're pimpin' all over the world
We continue to spread our pimping lifestyle to every corner of the world

Yeah, you hear the song so dance
Just let the music take over and enjoy the rhythm by dancing

Don't always think I'm tryna get in your pants
Don't assume that I'm always trying to pursue a sexual encounter with you

Um, 'cause see me, my pimpin's in 3D
My style of pimping is so vivid and extraordinary, it's like watching a movie in 3D

I'm takin' you places you only see on TV
I'm introducing you to places and experiences that are usually only seen through a television screen

Tryna show ya how you livin' is trife
I want to reveal to you that your current lifestyle is shallow and lacking in fulfillment

How many guys you know can bring the Travel Channel to life?
How many men do you know who can turn your dreams of the Travel Channel into a reality?

One day we on the Autobahn swervin', drivin'
One day we're cruising and maneuvering on the Autobahn

Next day, we in the sun on the Virgin Islands

If you with me ain't no time to sleep
When you're with me, there's no time for rest or boredom

Especially at Wet Willies on Miami Beach
Particularly when we're enjoying ourselves at Wet Willies on Miami Beach

But I'll drop you off and pay you no attention
I might accompany you somewhere but then disregard you completely

If I make it to Atlanta's Bronner Brothers convention
If I manage to attend the Bronner Brothers convention in Atlanta

Then jump in the car and just ride for hours
Afterward, we'll jump in the car and embark on hours-long drives

Makin' sure I don't miss the homecoming at Howard
Making certain I don't miss the homecoming event at Howard University

Hawaii to D.C., it's plenty women to see
Whether we're in Hawaii or D.C., there are always plenty of women to meet

So if yo' ass don't show up, it's more women for me, hey
If you don't show up, that just means there are more women available for me

In Mardi Gras, all the women tryna show me they chest, ayy
During Mardi Gras, women eagerly reveal their chests to catch my attention

I'm in Jamaica spendin' massive bucks

While the ladies all beggin' me to mash it up

I had sad beginnings when I rapped with no fans
I started my rap career with a lack of fanbase, feeling despondent

Now it's all happy endings on my lap in Japan, hey
Now, things are going incredibly well, as I enjoy the attention of fans in Japan

I used to think that it was way too cold
I once considered certain places too unwelcoming or harsh

Til I went to Canada and saw some beautiful hoes
However, my perception changed after visiting Canada and encountering stunning women

Now I hit the Caribana every year in Toronto
Now, I make it a point to attend the Caribana festival in Toronto every year

Then fly to Illinois to get a taste of Chicago
Following that, I fly to Illinois to experience Chicago firsthand

Uh, oh yet and still
Ah, but there's more to come

You wouldn't believe your eyes if you went to Brazil
You would be astonished by the sights and experiences Brazil has to offer

In terms of finding the most exceptional women, there's no need to question it

The best women all reside in Africa, and that's real (woo)
Undoubtedly, the most remarkable women can be found in Africa, and that's a fact

(Oh yeah) the fancy cars

Emphasizing the act of pimping and the lifestyle associated with it

Ladies and gentlemen as we ride out
Ladies and gentlemen, as we continue on our journey

Can we have all the real pimps
Let's gather all the authentic pimps

Please put both of your pinky fingers high in the air?
If you're a genuine pimp, raise both of your pinky fingers

Now ladies, look around with me
Ladies, take a moment and observe your surroundings with me

Let's see if we can weed some of these nigg*s out
Together, let's identify and eliminate some of these imposters

'Cause it ain't no way that all these nigg*s could be pimpin'
There's no possible way that all these men can genuinely claim to be pimps

Now if you happen to see a nigg*
If you happen to come across a man

With two sweat patches up under his arms
Who has sweat patches visible under both of his arms

Look like he been swimmin' in shoulder height water
Appearing as if he's been submerged in water up to his shoulders

Please tell that nigg*, 'Put your hands down'
Kindly ask that man to lower his hands

If you smell like you been at work all day and Drakkar
If you have the scent of hard work and Drakkar cologne

Please put your hands down
Please lower your hands

Now observe the pinky fingers that are still raised in the air

If you see 'em ashy around the knuckles
If you notice dryness and ashiness around the knuckles

Like the nigg* wash half of his hands
As if the man washed only half of his hands

And lotion three quarters of his body
But applied lotion to only three quarters of his body

Please say, 'Put your hands down'
Kindly request that person to lower their hands

If your spinnin' rims spin counter clockwise, you are not pimpin'
If your spinning rims spin in the opposite direction of clockwise, you can't claim to be a pimp

If you are dancin' on the dancefloor
If you're dancing on the dancefloor

And you look to your left and your right
And you notice there are no women on your left or right

And there is not a woman in sight
And you can't spot a single woman around

Guess what? You guessed it, you are not pimpin'
Well, you've correctly guessed it – you are not a pimp

If your vodka and cranberry is really really dark like blood
If your vodka and cranberry mixture appears extremely dark, resembling blood

That's because you didn't order Vodka, buddy
It's because you mistakenly ordered a different type of liquor, my friend

That's why it's three dollars a glass, a-put your hands down
That's why it only costs three dollars per glass, so please lower your hands

Now look down, look down
Take a moment to look down

Now I need, I need everybody to pull up your pants leg one time
