ring a ding dong

i know how it feels to be left out

and that's what bein' black is all about

something's always goin' wrong

and that's why i'm rappin' this song

i grew up livin' in the hood

it was always bad

it was never good

i couldn't even hardly go outside

where we heard gunshots

we had to hide

not like we could have called the cops

they'd beat our asses and plant some rocks

police never cut us slack

if you ask me it's cause we're black

man

it's hard livin' in the streets

ain't never got nothin' to drink or eat

lucky if we got some ramen and kool-aid

we don't get food stamps till next tuesday

and even if i had a little bit of money

somebody would snatch it and take off running

no place for me to get a job

everywhere i work keep gettin' robbed

i guess that's why i started sellin' coke

hey! it's better than bein' broke

dealin' on the corner day and night

i can finally afford those shoes i like

got some hubcaps on my datsun

and i could get a haircut whenever i want one

everybody knew that i'm the man

when i roll up

you can hear me sayin'

a ring a ding dong

i'm number one

i'm the number one pimp livin' under the sun

a ding dong deezy we's 'bout to get busy

got a gun and i'm red hot

ready to run

a boom shaka lac

i'm on the clock

gonna dance and sing and swing a little bit of rock

i'm hippidy hoppin' 'till the day is done

i don't rap for the money

i just wanna have fun

one day i was sitting out

with my boy eggnog

just chilling out

talkin' 'bout stuff like basketball

when his phone started ringin'

he was gettin' a call

he hung up the phone and said yo

there's trouble

i said well

i'm down to bust a cap or a couple

we got up to leave when a car pulled up

a four-seat convertible ride with five sluts

one of them ladies was lookin' real fine

with big ol' titties and a round behind

i told eggnog yo

that one's mine

he said rucka! you out your mind?!

i said what's wrong? look she flirting

yeah but the only problem is she dirty

ali

don't bone her!

i don't give a shit if ya got a bo-ner!

and that's when things got kinda heavy

cause all them girls pulled out a machete

they started to shoot eggnog and me

we got the feeling it was time to leave

we ran off and said well

that was fun

i don't know 'bout you but let's smoke a blunt

we got real high

it felt real good

cause it was just another day in the hood

a ring a ding dong

i'm number one

i'm the number one pimp livin' under the sun

a ding dong deezy we's 'bout to get busy

got a gun and i'm red hot

ready to run

a boom shaka lac

i'm on the clock

gonna dance and sing and swing a little bit of rock

i'm hippidy hoppin' 'till the day is done

i don't rap for the money

i just wanna have fun

a ring a ding dong

i'm number one

i'm the number one pimp livin' under the sun

a ding dong deezy we's 'bout to get busy

got a gun and i'm red hot

ready to run

a boom shaka lac

i'm on the clock

gonna dance and sing and swing a little bit of rock

i'm hippidy hoppin' 'till the day is done

i don't rap for the money

i just wanna have fun

yeah! hip hop music!

all day and all night!

you can dance to it

or just move your head!

soon everybody's gonna be

listenin' to this

man!

even white people!

but then it'll go too far

and rap will get kinda gay

not that there'll be anything wrong with that

being gay will be pretty much accepted by everyone

except us black people

kind of ironic

huh?
