Sing along with the skanks

Take that, bitches!

It's hard to imagine that a few word changes will make this ditty palatable for family audiences, and I haven't heard what they plan to do about the "n" word. Have you ever heard a more "ho"-happy song? This will be the first rap performance at the Oscars � Eminem's "Lose Yourself" was nominated in 2003 for "8 Mile," but it wasn't performed. Just in case, there will be a 5-second delay during the telecast.

But why just passively listen? Here are the song's lyrics, for your crooning pleasure:

[Chorus 2X: Shug - singing] + (Djay)

You know it's hard out here for a pimp (you ain't knowin) When he tryin to get this money for the rent (you ain't knowin) For the Cadillacs and gas money spent (you ain't knowin) Because a whole lot of bitches talkin s--- (you ain't knowin) Will have a whole lot of bitches talkin s--- (you ain't knowin)

In my eyes I done seen some crazy thangs in the streets Gotta couple ho's workin on the changes for me But I gotta keep my game tight like Kobe on game night Like takin from a ho don't know no better, I know that ain't right Done seen people killed, done seen people deal Done seen people live in poverty with no meals It's f----- up where I live, but that's just how it is It might be new to you, but it's been like this for years It's blood sweat and tears when it come down to this s--- I'm tryin to get rich 'fore I leave up out this bitch I'm tryin to have thangs but it's hard fo' a pimp But I'm prayin and I'm hopin to God I don't slip, yeah

Man it seems like I'm duckin dodgin bullets everyday Niggaz hatin on me cause I got, ho's on the tray But I gotta stay paid, gotta stay above water Couldn't keep up with my ho's, that's when s--- got harder North Memphis where I'm from, I'm 7th Street bound Where niggaz all the time end up lost and never found Man these girls think we prove thangs, leave a big head They come hopin every night, they don't end up bein dead Wait I got a snow bunny, and a black girl too You pay the right price and they'll both do you That's the way the game goes, gotta keep it strictly pimpin Gotta have my hustle tight, makin change off these women, yeah
