lyrics

PIMP WIFE

She’s a pimp wife
She’s a pimp wife, yea
Expecting the good life
cause she’s a pimp wife

Behind every good man is a woman
though admission for many defeat
Me I stopped counting so long ago
ego best serves marriage when petite
My baby don’t care bout her diamond rings
But the fortune of fame on her mind gets her to sing
She’s always getting on my case about the tasks at hand
Like a time square hooker
She tries to sell her man

Calling up her friends on Monday sayin’
Calling up her friends on Tuesday sayin’...

Everybody should know how this hard life goes
Beg a stranger for a place to sleep
That man still thinks I’m living the dream
While I try to slip these shoes from my feet
My baby insists that the desk’s a death
Conditional love’s gone like a breath
Says it’s who you are & what you’ll be
While I dream of the drip of the suit setting me free
she’s
calling up her friends on Wednesday sayin’
I got what you need
Calling up her friends on Thursday
She gimme that look, she don’t have to scream

She’s a pimp wife
She’s a pimp wife, yea
Expecting the good life
Cuz she’s a pimp wife

Tryin’ to make a deal on Friday sayin’
Oooo, I got what you need
Trying to make a deal on Saturday
And I’ll I can do…
it’s the weekend baby

Though evidence exists
occasional sweetness
She know’s better
comfort comes and washes it all away
A business woman
right to the bone
sometimes i feel so alone
when i wake up so far from home
But the streets and the shows are all I know

So if you ever knew a woman like this
you could get away to live a life like that
Though it’d never be the same sans smoke of fame
so keep those pimp arms on my back
Well my baby ain’t afraid to push the rules of love
but the fine line stumbles and she starts to shove
so keep on practicing your patience while I get some rest
till I’m back out on the street to show ‘em who’s the best
She’ll be
calling up her friends on Friday sayin’
Oooo, I got what you need
Calling up her friends on Saturday sayin’
Ooo, Benyaro’s got what you need
Calling up her friends on Sunday
She gimme that look she don’t have to scream

Chorus

Champagne, red carpets and planes
She don’t even know my name
Champaign red carpets and fame
I think I love her just the same

Benyaro Jackson, Wyoming

From the dank depths of the Brooklyn subways to the spiritually orgasmic heights of Jackson Hole WY, Ben Musser's indie roots project BENYARO carves a unique path w 1 rule: make great art. Honest, vulnerable shit. Neil Jenny once told Ben "In order to create something truly unique 1 must shut out the influence of others". If anything, here's a killer contemporary artists' advice applied to music. ... more
