Is Rick James P.I.M.P. The S.I.M.P. About Prince And Vanity? [Intro]
Say, girl, what's happening, baby? You know you're sitting on a goldmine, you need to follow me You can make lots of money And of course I can [?] and dress and be the funnest [Verse 1]
Mary chose a pimp He put her on the street It was no accident She was found in a hotel suite Face down in the floor, lying in her underwear No one even cried and no even seemed to care [Refrain]
That Mary had a pimp Mary had a P.I.M.P Mary had a pimp Mary had a P.I.M.P [Bridge]
Mary's going crazy, girl is going out of her mind Didn't she know the price she had to pay was high to be a hoe And she know, she is a pimpers party She is a pimpsky light Now she's gone and he's still left to carry on It's so wrong P.I.M.P., pimp [Interlude]
Excuse me baby, but my name is Don Wonder And I wonder if I could buy you a drink Cause I got something I need to run on you [Verse 2]
Mary chose a pimp She changed her name and moved out west All her money went On his wardrobe and nothing less She even bought his house While she lived in a motel room Her days were spent alone with the comfort of a silver spoon [Refrain]
Mary had a pimp Mary had a P.I.M.P Mary had a pimp Mary had a P.I.M.P [Bridge 2]
Mary's going crazy, girl is going out of her mind Didn't she know the price she had to pay was high to be a hoe Didn't she know? Mary's going nuts out in the rain Selling her body for pain Giving all her money to some chump so he can dress funny P.I.M.P., pimp Mary's going crazy, girl is going out of her mind Didn't she know the price she had to pay was high to be a hoe Horns blow P.I.M.P., pimp [Verse 3: Grandmaster Flash]
You pimp, you simp, your on the street Running your game on all the girls you meet Fake diamonds on your fingers and Cadillac cars Trying to catch a girl at a local bar So you catch her and you school her and you teach her the game Next thing you know, the girl's going insane Now she's lost at the cost of the tricks she's turned She's just another hoe who just been burned [Refrain]

I always thought that it was just about a pimp, but I've never really thought of it that way.
Who knows, really? | |

Sounds very generic, even in context.
Unless he invoked "That skinny motherfucker with the high pitched voice"

Interesting, but I never thought that song was about Prince and Vanity.
"With love, honor, and respect for every living thing in the universe, separation ceases, and we all become one being, singing one song." - Prince Roger Nelson (1958-2016) | |
