[Verse 1]

Diamonds in my bracelet shine like a Kodak flash

Just motivation for these freaky hoes to show that ass nigga

I pop tags on a throwback fast

Nigga please, I'm wearin' these when I cut my grass... freeze

All you niggaz wanna touch my cash

The 40 cal's in the stash, and when I touch I blast

Televison's in the dash, suede roof in the coupe

I'm the one nigga, young niggaz knew it's the truth

And the dumb niggaz I ain't done provin' it to

Come with a clique of guerillas like I hung at a zoo

I gotta bitch to pull bitches like she one of the crew

Now a buncha broads in the back bustin' it loose

Do it free for me and charge you a hundred or two

Top floor in the presidential with a wonderful view

Yeah I'm rich, but I ain't just talkin' I live like this

You couldn't get water out the faucet as clear as my Cris

[Hook {Mannie Fresh & TIP}]

Pimpin' y'all ain't heard that latest?

Ay it's the best of the best

Young pimpin' on a record with Fresh

I drive Chevys, fuck Mercedes

Hopped out the new CL V12, got in the blue SS

And I'm leavin' witcha ladies

I got a beautiful bitch, pursuin' ya bitch

Next thing ya know, ya losin' ya bitch, pimp

Yall niggaz give it up I'm the greatest

Ay, I'm the greatest, ay, I'm the greatest, ay

Pimpin' I'm the greatest

[Verse 2]

It's been a long time since you seen a nigga like me

In a pair of Gucci sneakers, jeans and a white tee

Extravagant and outa control, I might be

But I'm makin' 50k on the road a night G

Rocks in my ring, big as cubes in ya ice tea

I used to dream 'bout a Benz now I own like 3

I gotta wine-colored V, with the wine-colored V

And reclined leather seats, I ain't lyin' on my beats

You can tell I'm gettin' money how I shine in the streets

Blowin' on the best pine you can find in the streets

Rappers wastin' they time if they trying to compete

They records sales declinin' when mine hit the streets

I got the fine freaks starin', 'cus my time piece glarin'

When the light hit the carrats, got they eyes lookin' Chinese

You'll run yourself raggedy tryna out shine me

No matter whatcha do, you're 2 steps behind me

[Hook {Mannie Fresh & TIP}]

Pimpin' y'all ain't heard that latest?

Ay it's the best of the best

Young pimpin' on a record with Fresh

I drive Chevys, fuck Mercedes

Hopped out the new CL V12, got in the blue SS

And I'm leavin' witcha ladies

I got a beautiful bitch, pursuin' ya bitch

Next thing ya know, ya losin' ya bitch, pimp

Yall niggaz give it up I'm the greatest

Ay, I'm the greatest, ay, I'm the greatest, ay

Pimpin' I'm the greatest

[Verse 3]

A smooth attitude enable me to ball outrageous

Nigga fuck you paid me, I'm all outa favors

What Grand Hustle got ain't a motherfucker gave us

A motherfuckin' thing, but ain't a motherfucker played us

You gotta mil' that's a small percentage

The way ya record deal structured, you only get a small percentage

I gotta Magnum with a magnum in it

Playstation and a plasma in it

Sittin' on 20 inches and it's tinted

Gotta hemi nothin' faster than it

The 50 Gs'll pass you in it, get real

Gotta Chevy more expensive than that Jag you rented

Excuse me, but let Young Pimpin' brag a minute

Gotta bottle of Louie and a flock of groupies hotter than Rudy

Lickin' me dry when I get out the jacuzzi

They eatin' pussy, suckin' dick until they mouth got gooey

Can't another young nigga in the south out do me

[Hook {Mannie Fresh & TIP}]

Pimpin' y'all ain't heard that latest?

Ay it's the best of the best

Young pimpin' on a record with Fresh

I drive Chevys, fuck Mercedes

Hopped out the new CL V12, got in the blue SS

And I'm leavin' witcha ladies

I got a beautiful bitch, pursuin' ya bitch

Next thing ya know, ya losin' ya bitch, pimp

Yall niggaz give it up I'm the greatest

Ay, I'm the greatest, ay, I'm the greatest, ay

Pimpin' I'm the greatest
