Why do they say "Pimpin' ain't easy"? You'd think "pimpin'" would be the easiest thing you could do

[Phokus]

I mean, what do pimps do besides beat up their ho's and collect their money?

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

Do a survey of local pimps and see what they think.

 

[anxi80]

lack of decent benefits and outrageous union fee's. dont even get them started on retirement...

 

[Mr Incognito]

They say it's hard for pimps, but extra hard for the hoes.

 

[GrantMeThePower]

See thats the point. You'd think its easy, but it is not, hence "Pimpin' aint easy"

The reason it is said is due to the difficulties that are inherent to the occupation that are not apparent to the layman.

Does that make sense?

I always thought they said "Shrimpin ain't easy"....if you know the alternative meaning of "Shimping", you'll agree

You can always look to the wisdom of 3 6 Mafia for the answer to your question. Here is an example:

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 shit (you ain't knowin)

Recruiting Ho's
Keeping them in line, collecting their moneys, housing, feeding, etc
Keeping the John's in line
Beating-up wannabe Pimps trying to steal your ho's
Paying off the bluehats

I'm strictly business and business is good.

[ed21x]

you got to keep up an image...

... stretched limo, gold teeth, purple fur overcoat,

and that ain't cheap

hence, pimp'in ain't easy.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

taking care of one woman is a pain in the ass, imagine a whole gang of them
