Red Hot Chilli Peppers - I Like Dirt lyrics

Damn

Sometimes we lose some good ones mayn y'know?

They don't really understand this playerism

Just gotta break it down to 'em, keep it real y'know?

I'm a P-F-L, sworn to the P.I.

[Verse One]

I spent so many days with you, so many nights

It's nice, I wanted you to be my only wife

We didn't make it, I couldn't take it

I tried to square up, it's too hard I couldn't fake it

And now I see why, since I was knee high

I swore to live and die by the P.I.

And I'm stayin true, born in this game and it's payin too

I wish I could have stayed witchu

But it's over, I love you and I still care

We can kick it any time, but I'm still a player

... damn you got that look I like

I tried to settle down it felt like you took my life

I left town, I got women all around

While I was out soul-searchin, guess what I found?

The more hoes the merrier, you think I wanna marry her?

Bitch that sounds scarier and scarier

I need to have a few wives

Cause I don't wanna come home and tell you lies

In my heart I think I found her if she feels the same

You think I've changed, think I'd play her if I'm still in the game?

Hell yeah! One woman, I don't think so

I let the game be my wife, and I'm faithful

I never do her wrong, I never cheat on her

And if the game was baseball, I'd be on first

[Chorus]

(I see you watchin this) I see you watchin

(I know it looks real hot up in here) It's pimpin baby

(But what's a pimp?) Oh you know

(I say but what's a pimp?)

(They wanna be like this) They wanna be like this

(I know it looks real fly up in here) It's real fly

(But what's a pimp?)

(I say but what's a pimp?)

[Verse Two]

It's like this

I don't lie, I told you what I felt at the time

I wasn't high, I know you see yourself in my rhymes

A lot of women I dealt with, could hear these words

And realize there's no way I could still be hers

Unless you wanna share me with a hot one named Tarrie

And don't get mad at me when I'm out poppin cherries

I know some ladies they just wanna have babies

Collect child support from rich men in Mercedes

It's cool, but that's not what players do

Get with me, those days are over, I swear it's true

You're through, havin sex for nothin

Hopin some day some man'll give you somethin

Your own bank account - don't laugh, it's not funny

You only fucked with him cause he got a lotta money

But you never get paid, don't lie to me

You just look good, and you get to ride for free

What you eat and what you drink, you trade for sex

Pick you up in the Benz, next day in the Lex

Are you happy? Do you think you're, on a roll?

Do you love your life? Are you achievin any goals?

Or are you sad, mad cause it ain't your way?

Call mom and dad they'll be glad that you ain't gon' stay

Or call me, I got a solution

Choose me and then hit the top with your new man

[Chorus] w/ variations

[Verse Three]

I don't have fantasies, just needs

I need more than one woman to please

And she's like a love roller coaster, the thrill never lasts

And I always seem to find some better ass

Some bitch that can suck better, get wetter

She got them super skills to do anything you let her

So I'm done with you, I still care

I love you baby but I'm still a player

I always been aware and I never been scared

Found some magazines on the top they said Player$

I was young but I was old and I wanted those hoes

Found out playin with girls was mo' fun with no clothes

You can call it what you want to, Doctor or House

Hide and Go Get It, then I'm knockin it out

If she ain't widdit, I find another little chick

I'm quick to switch, even when I was six

I had a backup bitch, when my bitch would trip

I'd go play with my other girlfriend and get me a kiss

And at the age of thirty-six I'm to the same old tricks

Too $hort baby no the game don't quit

I'm playin games with these lame brains

Treatin superstars, like some plane Janes

I wanna get new thangs, so I used the game to maintain

Bitch I refuse to change

[Chorus] w/ variations

[unknown singer from Chorus]

Minks and pinky rings and them

Some so why should you begin

Livin, the world that they are perceivin

Ho-ohhh, is everything that you see

Really good enough to be

Part of the pimp life, ohhhhhh

[Chorus] w/ variations to fade (quickly)
