Verse 1
Cam'ron:
Yo, who wanna rump wit' us, bump wit' us, guns a buss
It's fun to us, run to us, pump, jump, come, yuh tough
I'm a loco head, that leave you so so dead
Black Caddy, beef patty for that coco bread
Waddup Leon, Tito, Kurt, Coco Dread
Fuck Robocop, we fill 'em up with robo-lead
Gal need advice, told her we can eat a bite
Ate the oxtails, you can keep the rice
You should be polite, I told her that she need a life
I'm not a cop but trust, I can read ya right
What's yo' story, Gator told Maury
You stay gettin' dug out, Joe Torry
This beat here remind me of Flatbush
Rube bwoy act up, blat, get his cap pushed
So, Naffa gang, Kuffa Gang, cool for gain
Ay stop it mane, stupid chain, move again
Hook

Verse 2
Penz:
I'ma relax with the haze in back of the stage
And shit I smoke the same color as Saint Patrick's Parade
Yeah, keep a Mac and a gauge packin', attackin' wit' rage
Stackin' and mackin' until they put my ass back in the cave
I'm actually brave, this beats easy to cook
I'm on my Peter Pan shit, I don't need me a Hook
Got 100 of bars, spittin', I done it with stars
You ain't gotta take my shirt off to see none of my scars
I was locked down, 500 Pearl Street
Look now, Nextel, 500 girls deep
And ya girl a freak 'cause the kid handle green
But she wax, shorty breath smell like tangerines
F defense, homeboy handle me
4-5th'll have ya ass shakin' like a tambourine
Where is son from, all I need is one gun
Prospect, Penz, Dipset with the Bum Bum
Hook

The song "Bum Bum" by Cam'ron featuring Penz is a rap song filled with Jamaican patois and slangs that may be difficult to understand to someone who is not familiar with the culture. The song starts with a woman singing about "bum bum" which is a slang term for buttocks. She references that Jamaicans do not live in "Solomon fashion" which likely means living a luxurious lifestyle like King Solomon in the Bible did. She also mentions that people ask her where she gets her ambition from, and she tells them that it is a "fun creation" - she does not have a clear answer.
In the first verse, Cam'ron starts rapping about being tough and dangerous with lines like "who wanna rump wit' us, bump wit' us, guns a buss" and "I'm a loco head that leave you so so dead." He also mentions eating oxtails which is a Jamaican dish and advises a woman that she needs a life. He ends his verse with a reference to Flatbush and how he deals with rude boys there.
Penz takes over in the second verse rapping about being brave and smoking marijuana. He references being locked up before and now having a lot of girls around him. He mentions that people do not need to see his scars to know how tough he is and that he is a member of Dipset with the "Bum Bum."
Overall, the song is filled with braggadocious raps about being tough and being a part of a gang. The chorus of the song repeats the words "Bum Bum" which is slang for buttocks, and the song is full of Jamaican patois and slangs.
