A story element, comedy & a message are what VISUAL brings on his third leak, Pimp’s Don’t Run off his Hello Hip Hop mix tape.
"Be what you wanna be" is what they say when you young but they don't ever say "lil man don't front"
VISUAL paints his picture over the smooth piano loop where he focuses on stereotypes that plague Hip Hop. He does so with a comedic approach as he imitates two of these stereotypes. The message here is don’t front.
When is the last time you saw a pimp run?
Hello Hip Hop will be available on iTunes and other online retailers worldwide on October 17th 2012

Lyrics
Verse 1
Hey yo look home boy,ha, Pimps don't run
It's a real basic thang like one plus one
"Be what you wanna be" is what they say when you young
But they don't ever say "lil man don't front"
& those are basic rules, back from the old school
Look, do what you wanna but always do you
For example you look dumb if you "ACT" tough
Trust me, real type dudes will call that bluff
Then you get your ass whoop & face lumped up
& when everybody sees you man, they wondering what
Happened to you & you be like ...
IT WAS 16 DUDES, THEY WANTED MY CHAIN & BRAND NEW SHOES
& THEY SPRAYED ME WITH MACE & THEY KNEW KUNG-FU
LET'S CALL THE HOMIES UP MAN, WHAT WE GONNA DO?
& they look at you like "we?? Man, you a damn fool! You be lying too much
We ain't down for you!!!"
Hook
Ay,yo Pimps don't run ...
Gangsta ain't guns ...
You betta watch how you walk
Ay,yo Pimps don't run ...
Gangsta aint guns ...
You betta watch how talk homie
Verse 2
Here's another truth, not all g's got guns
Ya'll know that loud mouth that talks fast ? He's ain't one
And Naw man, that dude will never be
Cuz a real type gangstas' way past his pedigree
He probably says things like
"IMA FUCK THAT BITCH!
IMA PUNCH YO FACE, I'M A THUG, THAT'S IT'S!!!
WE GONNA GET THIS CHEESE,CUZ I FLIP KEYS, I GOT GUNS, I GOT GOONS, IMA MAFUCKIN G!!!"
Man, straight up its so damn comical
The way that tough guy shit got phenomenal
Now don't get me wrong, I ain't saying be a punk
But if you don't use good judgement, you're done!
Ok,let's say some dude thinks he's the truth
& he gets called out by some random dude
They both shoot & both lives they lose
But hey, at least they kept real
So what would you do?
Hook
Ay,yo Pimps don't run ...
Gangsta ain't guns ...
You betta watch how you walk
Ay,yo Pimps don't run ...
Gangsta aint guns ...
You betta watch how talk homie
