The Skinny Lyrics
this is for all those tricks and hoes
from the five start rooms down to skid row
whether you answer phones or dance on poles
big money escort or broke on a stroll
he don't care about your background
he ain't picky once he puts his mack down
make you suck it all the way to the ass now
cause all of y'all heifers are cash cows
at first it was just a little thing
had no idea he was fuckin' with your brains
when he was around you seemed mature
he helped you calm down and feel secure
sure he go get 'em when they still just kids
give 'em some gifts and get on they lips
before they can even get a chance to get hip
skinny pimp turn a john into a trick real quick
fly trick light it gonna pay all day
but wont ever get away from skinny white pimp
i know it feel like you can't live without 'em
and you're still too embarrassed to tell your parents about 'em
it's kinda crazy how he's on your mouth
every time you need a little bit of help-you-out
ain't no kitten gonna play that shark
shake you down make his mark
take you down break your heart
and don't give a damn for anything that came apart
some try anything to leave him
seen some even put themselves in treatment
some get away but still gotta keep
lookin' over their shoulder forever
that ain't freedom
take his tax makes you love it
same old trap but ain't you above it?
he'll beat your ass in public
now suck that skinny white pimp dick suck it
fly trick light it gonna pay all day
but wont ever get away from skinny white pimp
first thing you wake up to your pimp
don't forget to pay up to your pimp
get that money give it here
he'll keep a bitch in that stable fore fifty years
he ain't scared of the law or the cops
got 'em paid off some kinda trade off
gonna stay in the pocket
as long as the money stay long
open hand stay strong
it's like you don't know or care
but he's right there in your clothes and your hair
you're known to let him in your home
i can smell his breath on this microphone
your lips taste like his dick
i can always tell when he's been in your whip
you just one of a million trick
now take your ass outside
and go talk to your pimp
fly trick light it gonna pay all day
but wont ever get away from skinny white pimp
hey baby i need to change
on top of that i need to keep the change
motherfuckers put a filter on my brain
all the cigarettes of the world
get together and sing
fly trick light it gonna pay all day
from the five start rooms down to skid row
whether you answer phones or dance on poles
big money escort or broke on a stroll
he don't care about your background
he ain't picky once he puts his mack down
make you suck it all the way to the ass now
cause all of y'all heifers are cash cows
at first it was just a little thing
had no idea he was fuckin' with your brains
when he was around you seemed mature
he helped you calm down and feel secure
sure he go get 'em when they still just kids
give 'em some gifts and get on they lips
before they can even get a chance to get hip
skinny pimp turn a john into a trick real quick
but wont ever get away from skinny white pimp
and you're still too embarrassed to tell your parents about 'em
it's kinda crazy how he's on your mouth

and don't give a damn for anything that came apart

It's weird how, for me at least, it's the most obscure songs that seem to hit home the hardest. The first time I heard this song, as I was listening, I knew that there had to be something more to it just because of the way that Slug does his thing. By the last time that the chorus rolled around, it finally clicked and I had to play it over again. Really makes me question some of the choices that I've made in life.
I was 16 when my mom found out that I smoked, and even though she didn't say anything I knew that she was hurt because of it, but at the same time she even told me that she wasn't going to say anything because she started when she was younger than I was. Even though she knows, now almost three years later, I'm still embarrassed to tell my parents about it, as strange as that may be.
All in all it's just a great song, Atmosphere is one of the very, very few groups that I've liked for years and years, and they just keep coming out with more great hits. Most groups would've faded out by now, but not them. They've got something special.
This is The Skinny on the situation America (and the better part of the 'civilized' world) is in today. The first several times I listened to the song I thought it was about a skinny white pimp and his tricks. I didn't care for the subject matter but I like the album, so I took it in stride. Then phases like "all ya'll heffers are cash cows" and "he gives them gifts and gets on their lips before they even have a chance to get hips!" started to pop out at me. In the third verse "get that money, give it here, he'll keep a bitch in the stable for 50yrs!" This statement sounds strangely similar to the work and tax paying cycle we are kept in untill retirement age! But I think the most revealing part comes soon after in "it's like you don't care, but he's right there in your clothes and your hair, you're known to let him in your home, I can smell his breath in this microphone!" Indeed the Skinny White Pimp is the corporate-ocracy constructed of the top 1% (almost exclusively caucasian males) that governs the world we know through financial and economic slavery systems! Furthermore, we have paid our hard earned money and spent our irreversible time to build it! Not that we meant to, but they couldn't have turned us into a trick without our help! Untill We the People come together and take our Lives and our Government back from the Banksters and Corporations, the situation is only going to cost us more money, time and FREEDOM! Though Atmosphere portrays the message as a crude story, I don't think the reality of the matter is any prettier! We need to understand that at this point we still have the chance to dissolve the power of the Skinny White Pimp, but this means we can't keep buying into the lifestyle he sets up for us! If your hear me: Speak Up!
it's about cigarettes
yeah i love this song, its one of my favorites off the new album (not that any of the songs are bad) basically because its classic of slug's writing to just leave you completely misguided until the end when he brings it home strong with the meaning
"now suck that skinny white pimp dick, suck it"
i love that. =D its also slug's favorite off the album...
this songs fucking crack
I didn't really pay attention to this song when I had first heard it, and to be quite honest, I haven't given it a proper listen but i believe slugs rappin about cigarettes. I'm a smoker myself and it only took me one listen to pickup on.. Slug is using the concept of pimping to tell the story of starting out smoking with an underage person "when he was around you seemed mature" & "and you're still too embarrassed to tell your parents about 'em"
"whether you answer phones or dance on poles.. he don't care about your background.. make you suck it all the way to the ass now.. at first it was just a little thing.. had no idea he was fuckin' with your brains" Those few lines pretty much tell you what the song will be about.. P
pretty clever. It's cool cuz no rapper ever writes about cigarettes. Another original rap from Slug.
Listened to this song 100 times, never had the slightest clue to what it was really about. Thanks, songmeanings. My brain just fuckin exploded.
this song def sounds like its about a pimp but its really about smoking
