1st verse:
Since I was riding on my swing til I was driving a car
I felt the pimpin’ in my bones like a superstar
And my momma always told me “take the money and run”
And my daddy always said “boy, pack a gun”
Because the game remains the same but the players change
Just cop and blow and be cool
When you running your thing
But prepare to be alone in your Cadillac (yah!)
And all your money gone, imagine that
Hey batter batter!
Hey batter batter!
Here come a pimp from Pomona
Po-mona-mona
I never likеd to be alone
Nevеr need me long
I see you at the player’s ball
Player player’s ball
I hope you see you get your trophy
When his trophy called
I hope to recognize you when I get my trophy calls
I’m praying to God asking “why did you leave me?”
Said it was then that I carried you Suga Free
Chorus:
I don’t want to be
Like a Lone Ranger
Travelling through the world
Always a stranger
2nd verse:
So you’re cruising down the block, feeling like a pimp
Listening to Snoop and 50 cent, just like them
Got your nails sparkling fly, looking clean
Rollin’ in the tre’, not no limousine
Hey player hater, hey player hater
I know you’re mad cause we send em’
And you gotta pay em’
I took the music and threw a curveball at em’
Some girls won’t like you if you don’t man-handle them
She like to play you because she know what you think about
Having sex with her, that’s what you think about
But if she hang around then she better loosen up
And don’t be scared to get no money when she choosing up
You can’t be touching my radio in my car
And don’t be asking me I just adds water
Saying: hey player hater, hey player hater
We like to get em’ turn em’ loose
But you Captain Save em’
We like to put clothes on em’
Pretty clothes on em’
A mini skirt and high heels and pantyhose on em’
I keep their hair done looking good, manucure
I lace em’ smooth with the rules, I pedicure
Chorus:
I don’t want to be
Like a Lone Ranger
Travelling through the world
Always a stranger
I don’t want to be
(Saw you cruising down the block, feeling like a pimp)
Like a Lone Ranger
(Listening to Snoop and 50cent, just like them)
Travelling through the world
(Got your nails sparkling fly, looking clean)
Always a stranger
(Rolling in the tre’ not no limousine)
