Story Behind the Song
I was always called a nice guy. I always wondered why I didn't get the ladies I really wanted. Until I wrote a song about it. The Lyrics mean women say they want one type of guy, when in fact they really want the other. The song was written in my studio in Atlant, GA. It took 1 day to write it. I recorded it the same day. It took 3 takes
Lyrics
TINNIS SHOE PIMP
C p Robert D. Bassett JR
She open's her mouth saying
She want's to be treated right.
But in her hart she want's to see
The knife. Rupture though her back
Right though her eyes
So she can have the pleasure of saying
She knew she was right.
All men ain't worth a pot to piss in
While the one's worth her time she'd
Rather be missing and dissing them,
Now the Pam's of the world attract
All the pretty women. When they're dogged
By them they represent all of us men.
And the well to do men are giving up jack
Maybe if you are lying on your back
You see he too was ignored on the
Way up.
Because you were always looking for a man
That makes a certain amount. That drives a nice
Car and has got a fat bank account.
Little do you know, he knows about you
And had the whole Sean planed out before
He met you. Make way for the
Tennis Shoe.
The Tennis Shoe
The Tennis Shoe Pimp
Now let the truth be told, Some want
A man they think they can control.
That has less than they do so they can
They can remain the one on top.
You didn't want a nice guy to begin
With because that's boring, and no fun
You want a man that’s on the run
He's exciting from what you know.
He wears the fancy gear. Loves Sneakers
Has at least ten pairs.
Some wear gold teeth just to show the dough
And most of the time got negative cash flow.
Now the modern day pimp don't walk with a
Limp. But the want a be pimp just got a
Bag hemp.
Still idolizing Goldie, dreams of a thousand
Dollars could be me.
To him it's still real big money.
But you don't know or even care
Got'ta have at least two earrings in his ear.
You want a rebel,
A man for show
So you go for the
Tennis shoe.
The Tennis Shoe
The Tennis Shoe Pimp
Now your man is still Jerry curl dripping
And all your friends tell you your tripping
For being treated like some ho
But your lost because, he's a pro
But, you tell them you don't care
Because, they're not always there,
For you and he also, satisfies you to
They don't understand that you
Got plains for your man.
And he really loves you,
Because, he told you so
No he don't, Because he's a
Tennis shoe
The Tennis Shoe
The Tennis Shoe Pimp
Now he, never worked a day in his
Life, but he want's you for his wife
Because, he can't make is on his own
Say's he came from a broken home.
And you have been visualizing the rest of
Your life being all alone. Not nobody's wife
So you feel that's the right thing to do
Become the wife of this tennis Shoe.
Now that he's got you, he's always crying
Broke, Treats your future like a joke
But, you still want him, because that’s
Your thing. You can hang
Now he may smack you all around
Or verbally put you down.
But you won't leave him, because
You think he'll change.
No he won't (female)
Because, he's a tennis shoe.
The Tennis Shoe
The Tennis Shoe Pimp
After three kids later and nothing
To show for and that pimp in sneakers
Is out the door.
And all the excitement that almost destroyed
You. Now you want to see what the nice
By can do.
After all he's established and very well paid
And you look real stupid like you got on a lamp
Shade.
Because, you have nothing to offer except
What other women can do.
He says I'm not interested, Where's your
Tennis shoe.
