BIGGER PIMPIN'
By David Rudder

Cosquelle, cosquelle, cosquelle...

An American rapper, they call him Jay Z
He come to buss a style in this country
Carnival Day, he fling money in the street
The children start to get on like dogs in heat
The people in authority, they just went mad
They say, "Who the hell bring this fool in the yard?"
"Who sign paper to invite this imps?"
But the boy was right, this is the land of the pimps.

A bigger pimpin' in T&T
A set a man with plenty money
They come to buy you and buy me
Because it's a bigger pimpin' in T&T
It doh matter if you have a degree
Long as you greedy and a lil chupidee
You could crawl into somebody pocket and agree
'Cause it's a bigger pimpin' in T&T.

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh....

A fella meet me and say, "Look, Rudder man."
"Mih party looking for some good creole man"
"Unity nah, the leader have a plan"
"This time is true, this thing is not a sham."
It was in the Mirror, Express or Guardian
Where the other fella was looking for Indian
One day we'll find a leader who just won't swerve
And every creed and race will be fighting to serve.

Til then a bigger pimpin' in T&T
Do it corporate style or politically
You could crawl in a pocket and a greed
A bigger pimpin' in T&T
A bigger pimpin' in T&T
It doh matter if you have a degree
Long as you ready for this cosquelle spree
It's a bigger pimpin' in T&T.

Cosquelle, cosquelle, cosquelle...

Jay Z is not the first Yankee to invade this town
Is a long time now this thing going down
In the forties it was the Yankee dollar
With rum and some loud Coca-Cola
In the seventies Trini pimps come the star
Out went the rum, in the Old Parr
So Jay Z bathe down her backside with champagne, is true
But our boys now use Johnny Walker Blue.

A bigger pimpin' in T&T
This is the land of eternal money
To hear them talk, this is Jah-Jah country
'Cause it's a bigger pimpin' in T&T
A bigger pimpin' in T&T
It doh matter if you are a he or a she
Flash up yuh platinum card and spree
'Cause it's a bigger pimpin' in T&T.

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh....

An American rapper, they call him Jay Z
He come to do a video in this country
Carnival Day he fling money in the street
The children start to get on like dogs in heat
The people in authority, they just went mad
They say, "Who the hell bring this man Trinidad?"
"Who sign paper to invite this imps?"
But the boy was right, this is the land of the pimps.

A bigger pimpin' in T&T
A set a man with plenty money
They come to buy you and buy me
A bigger pimpin' in T&T
A bigger pimpin' in T&T
It doh matter if you have a degree
Long as you greedy and a lil chupidee
Well then you good for bigger pimpin' in T&T.

It's a cosquelle spree in a the T&T
Mother Yvonne say I got to warn them
Change their ways or the fire going to bun them.
Fire next time...

Cosquelle, cosquelle, cosquelle...
