She knew which fork to use but she couldn't danceSo he hipped her to the funk in exchange for the financeWho's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance?This is the story of illusion coma pimp and circumstanceShe was older but rich beyond compareShe'd drop a thousand dollars at the saloon just to get her hair didHe was good at compliments better in the bunkShe laced him with a crib in Paris he hipped her to the funkWay too fine he was for herA dirty dog in expensive furAs long as she's providing chips and whipsWe can do this funky thingAs long as she was playing the hostHe figured he would make the most of them hips and lipsHe hooked her up rocked her coast to coastUgly she's so ugly rich beyond compareShe's dropped a couple hundred thousand dollars on a silver whipJust to match the color of her hairShe said "Eye got plenty of what you needPut the spoon down honey come on let mama feed you"She knew which fork to use but she couldn't danceSo he hipped her to the funk in exchange for the financeWho's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance?This is the story of illusion coma pimp and circumstanceWhere was Eye? Oh yeah a gentleman he wasHe never spoke about her noseSo prominent because in the dark it'd glowIf she was only tan instead of so lily whiteHer name was Doris but he called her FloAs in 'Rescent' that ain't rightFluorescent every nightA situation bound to failAs sure a Doris' skin was paleMoney might talk but what does it say?You better get busy if you wanna get paidBoy Eye was fine back in the dayShe knew which fork to use but she couldn't danceSo he hipped her to the funk in exchange for the financeWho's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance?That's the story of illusion coma pimp and circumstanceNow dance danceHe spent her money oh so wellTake a bath in cold KristalHe took a trip to burn an old flame in 'Frisco like wowBut Doris caught him in her armsShe shrugged her shoulders and said "No harm"Just put your name on this pre-nup and we can all hit the discoShe knew which fork to use but she couldn't danceSo he hipped her to the funk in exchange for the financeWho's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance?This is the story of illusion coma pimp and circumstanceShe knew which fork to use but she couldn't danceSo he hipped her to the funk in exchange for the financeWho's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance?This is the story of illusion coma pimp and circumstanceNow danceDanceDanceDance
