Track #15 on AKA’s debut album Altar Ego. The song samples Dirt Off Your Shoulder by JAY Z, and builds on the line “Ladies is pimps too, go on brush your shoulders off…”. In his version AKA is paying tribute to all the independent ladies that don’t need a man for anything because they have their own...
[Intro]
Ladies is pimps too
Go on brush your shoulders off (pimps too)
Ladies is pimps too
Go on brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, ladies is pimps too
Ladies is pimps too, ladies is pimps too
(IV League pappa)
Ladies is pimps too
Go on brush your shoulders off (yeah)
Ladies is pimps too
Go on brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, ladies is pimps too
(you think you pimping her)
Ladies is pimps too, ladies is pimps too
Ladies is pimps too
Go on brush your shoulders off (yeah)
Ladies is pimps too
Go on brush your shoulders off (AKA)
Ladies is pimps too, ladies is pimps too
Ladies is pimps too Ladies is pimps too
[Verse 1]
So I guess ladies is pimps too
Got me thinking how best I could impress you
But those girls in my city are a select few
The rest sippin' on gin and just juice, loose
I bet you got your own money
Parked outside in your 1600
Straight A’s so school fees ain't nothing
Jealous girls mean muggin', aah
Mrs independant stand up
Give me kisses and bear hugs
Beat it up like it was rocking Rihanna’s haircut
Ooh so fresh in your bubble dress
Dressed to kill, sex appeal, you the best
And if you owe we gon' collect
Until I get more spins in Pro's gushesh
I tell em zero, they take the lead role
Think you a pimp dude?
Ladies is pimps too
[Chorus]
(You could be) the housewife
(Chillin' in the) kitchen
(See you in the) drop wit the big rims
(Or you could be the) waitress
(Stacking up) paper
(Throw your hands) up when the song begins
Ladies is pimps too
Go on brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too
Go on brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, ladies is pimps too
Ladies is pimps too Ladies is pimps too
[Verse 2]
See these girls playing for keeps
No need for sugar daddy her bank balance is sweet
She focused drop dead gorgeous and she knows it
No head to get ahead
A good head on her shoulders
Mommy told her, when you older be your own girl
Now she grown up, no gold digger persona
I see them at Moloko
Eyes on Mercedes Benz logo
Company they keep is never local
See Joburg it's a cold world mammie
Holding down 4 jobs like she Proverb sonny
Hard for her money, on top of education
Till shawty see 240 on the gauges
5 for the fragrance, 5 for the shades
And all she got is AKA music on the playlist
JR, Khuli Chana, Pro, Tumi, HH's
She don't fuck with nobody but fuck with the
[Chorus]
(You could be) the housewife
(Chillin' in the) kitchen
(See you in the) drop wit the big rims
(Or you could be the) waitress
(Stacking up) paper
(Throw your hands) up when the song begins
Ladies is pimps too
Go on brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too
Go on brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too Ladies is pimps too
Ladies is pimps too Ladies is pimps too
[Verse 3]
Oh so you think you the man
If you the pimp then why’d you put that money in her hand
Extensions in her hair, petrol in the tank
Do the math, ain’t no telling what she do behind your back
You need a girl to stick with you between the good and bad
Between the sheets do your best vixen in the bed
Best you ever had, welcome to the trenches
The battle of the sexes
The Lexus, the necklace, the champagne breakfast, the guest-list
Morning after, no recollection
The freshness, ah the VIP section
Upgrade and now she waving to pedestrians
On to the next shit, you call her baby
She call me verbatim, I stays in her memory
Pimp instead of tellin me
Tell your babygirl bout the birds and the bees
[Chorus]
(You could be) the housewife
(Chillin' in the) kitchen
(See you in the) drop wit the big rims
(Or you could be the) waitress
(Stacking up) paper
(Throw your hands) up when the song begins
Ladies is pimps too
Go on brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too
Go on brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, ladies is pimps too
Ladies is pimps too, ladies is pimps too
