(feat. Too $hort)

[D-Nice]

You know, $hort

A lotta people out there

Wanna be my friend, you know

Just because I got a little hit record out, you know I'm sayin

[Too $hort]

I know, I know

Rap groupies, you know

He-he

[D-Nice]

Definitely rap groupies

You know what I'm sayin?

Yo, we should do a little somethin for em, you know

[Too $hort]

Check em

Let's just check em

Check em real quick

[D -Nice ]

Let's check em, man

[ CHORUS: both ]

I know that you're a hoe for my wealth

You better just check yourself

Cause in these days we don't go for that

So you better try someone else [x2]

[VERSE 1: D-Nice]

Now I can recall the first time I was out on tour

With my boy Too $hort, leavin everyone in awe

I met this little honey, she said, "Hi, my name is Bunny"

I never would have thought she was out for my money

Now she appeared to me to be smart and legit

Equipped with hips that'll break your whole *******t

But before that I can get a chance to knock it

The goldigger's goldiggin in my pocket

First she tried to say that she was playin

She musta thought I was a fool cause she was sayin

" Ugh, oh D-Nice, I want you, I want you"

I wouldn't try to trust her even if I want to

I wanted just to smack her in the face

But hittin females is just a bad mistake

I guess tryin to get your money is a hobby or a sport

Cause next she tried to kick it to my boy Too $hort

[VERSE 2: Too $hort]

It's kinda funny: you want money from a pimp

(Biatch) you're thinkin like fifty percent

I put my foot in your ass and then I owe you the rest

I know the game, hoe, cause I'm the best

Playin broads ain't based on luck

You want money? I wanna ******

And after we do all that

I'm takin my money back

Biatch, kiss my pimpin ass

Cause all the time I didn't have this cash

You wouldn't call, wouldn't give me a number

I couldn't see ya like Stevie Wonder

I made a hit record, now I got money

You wanna play Short Dog for a dummy

You're so cool cause you think I'm rich

You know you wanna be my *******

I'm not single, baby, not for you

****** a *******, and that's the goddamn truth

If I was you, I wouldn't hold my breath

Cause all you money-hungry hoes might starve to death

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3: D-Nice ]

Now I'm not tryin to come down too hard

If you need some money, you should go and get a job

But this one does not go out to all women

Just those who try to kick game for a livin

Cause I'm not the one to be played

So don't step to me when you wanna get paid

Cause you're the type of woman that survives on greed

Yo $hort, won't you tell her what she needs

[ Too $hort ]

What you need is some type of financial support

You won't get *******t from your boy Too $hort

I don't pay ******* and never will

I'm too busy tryin to pay my bills

I understand your reason for tryin

But I been mackin since '79

You better check yourself before you wreck yourself

Short Dog's in the mutha****** house, *******

[CHORUS ]
