Our subject is just that- a pimp, and like most pimps, a noisy loudmouth. From Shakespeare- a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
Hustlers get what they deserve
But it’s always half the gate
Good things come to those who wait
Like an expiration date
Referring again to the subject as a hustler; another word for pimp. He's getting what he deserves but it's only half the gate". Half the gate is a venue term for money made at the gate/door usually paid to the act or promoter. Our pimp is getting bad karma he deserves, but probably deserves even worse. Expiration date- his time has expired.
The chorus is celebrating the pimp's removal, and stating a plan to talk the pimp's girls out of his control from mind games in his absence.
Curb your tongue oh scallywag
Because you’ve got no flag to wave
Save your breath for the black and white
Every dog will have his day
Here he's telling the pimp to shut up because he doesn't stand for anything. Save your speech for the black and white- term for a police car. Every dog will have his day/ everyone gets their day in court
I take these lyrics pretty literally. He's watching a pimp who always disgusted him finally get arrested.
Junior pimp at the old café Got to chase those girls around Westbound, drunk with lots to say But he never makes a sound
