"Illusion, Coma, Pimp and Circumstance" Lyrics
Buy from iTunes: 
Chorus: {different backgrounds in each}:
She knew which fork 2 use but she couldn't dance (Ha)
So he hipped her 2 the funk in exchange 4 the finance (Whatcha sayin'?)
Who's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance? (Tell me, who, who?)
This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance (&
circumstance)
She was older but rich beyond compare
She'd drop a thousand dollars at the salon just 2 get her hair did
([Salon])
He was good at compliments, better in the bunk ([Good])
She laced him with a crib in Paris, he hipped her 2 the funk
Way 2 fine, he was 4 her
A dirty dog in expensive fur
But long as she's providing chips and whips
We can do this funky thang, uh huh
'Long as she was playing the host
He figured he would make the most of them hips and lips
He hooked her up, rocked her coast 2 coast (Funky thang)
Ugly...
So ugly, but rich beyond compare
Dropped a couple hundred thousand dollars on a silver whip
Just 2 match the color of her hair (Say what?)
She said "I got plenty of what U need (And still say...)
Put the spoon down honey, c'mon, let mama feed U"
Oh!
Chorus
(Sho' couldn't dance)
(Money)
(Who's pimpin' who?)
Where was I? Oh yeah...
A gentleman, he was
He never spoke about her nose
So prominent because in the dark it'd glow
If she was only tan instead of so lily white
Her name was Doris but he called her "Flo"
As in "rescent" — That ain't right (That ain't right)
Fluorescent every night
A situation bound 2 fail
As sho' as Doris's skin was pale
Money might talk, but what does it say?
"U better get busy if U wanna get paid"
And boy, I was fine back in the day
Chorus
(Got the bills, y'all)
(Who's pimpin'? Nobody)
That's the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance
Now, dance
Dance
He spent her money oh so well, honey
Take a bath in cold Cristal
He took a trip 2 burn an old flame in 'Frisco, like wow! (Like wow!)
When Doris caught him in her arms
She shrugged her shoulders and said "No harm
Just put your name on this pre-nup and we can all hit the disco"
Chorus {x2}
(Yes she did)
(No, no... ah, ah, money, money, money)
(Who's pimpin'? Nobody)
(Hey, ah, oh, hey!)
(Fork 2 use)
(Huh, in exchange 4 some chips and whips)
(Hmmm... oh no, no)
(Heh heh)
Now, dance
Dance {x3}
