    • 2003, “What’s a Pimp?”, in Married to the Game, performed by Too $hort:

      If she ain’t with it, 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
