Aww shit come on death I ain't know that,
You know I wouldn't of went up in that bitch kojak
Yeah but her ass was so phat. But let's go back to when your ass stole cracks
But I was a little cat that ain't know jack
So I know that but lets go black when they put you in the trunk of the gold
hatch
Oh yeah with the cold rats. But back then I even came back with rabies
But you still living that was way back in the 80's nigga
But yo you tried to get me once when my house caught on fire
So I let you go when your girl called you a liar and choked you with your

And what about when your ass drove wreckless
Wha what in the Lexus? Come on now I'm thinking of Blood in the BM

Yo shut up nigga you bout to die you can't kill me I'm dead
This is how I get extortion. I coulda got your ass when you was a portion

Yo why didn't you come get me when my time was done?
When I didn't have a penny and I was confined to crumbs?
When I wanted to kill myself and couldn't find a gun
Oh yeah that time you was beeping me 911
But to mean I was petty
But now I ain't ready
Man Cam hurry up I got to go get little ready
Me and her got a little 2:00 appointment
She playing with wires while she eating on a ointment
Yo but I don't want to even join the casket crew
Too bad mutha fucka be back in a few
Yo chill, chill chill yo, shit.

(chorus) x3

Oh you slid up on me. Ayo Death hurry up before they give up on me.

Yo for real I don't want to see my family in pain
Look Cam, man, shut up

Ayo why you fuck with me just give me one answer
Ayo I see you next album with my man lung cancer





(chorus til end)

Overall Meaning

In the song "Death" by Cam'ron, the lyrics depict a conversation with Death, where Cam'ron is trying to plead his case to avoid being taken. The chorus is a sample from The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Suicidal Thoughts," which explores similar themes of contemplating death. Cam'ron speaks to Death about his life, his music career, and various moments where he narrowly escaped death. Death reminds Cam'ron of times when he was not a role model and stole bottles, but Cam'ron argues that he is now a role model and that his family shouldn't bear the pain of his death. Death keeps reminding Cam'ron of his past and how he never thought about the consequences of his actions in the past. The song ends with Cam'ron looking for his things and asking Death for a second, as the chorus returns.

Alright, Death, stop with the games. Just retrieve your belongings and end this


Man, fuck it, Death, I'm ready to go lying in the ditch
Screw it, Death, I'm prepared to accept my fate and lie in a grave


Aw, Cam, yo, you always fucking crying like a bitch
Cam'Ron, you're constantly whining and complaining like a weak and helpless person


I ain't gonna take your life, you can have that
I've decided not to take your life, Cam'Ron. You can keep living


Just wanted to waste time, you someone to laugh at
I simply wanted to play with your emotions and waste your time, Cam'Ron. You were just an entertainment for me


Ayo, why you fuck with me, just give me one answer
Death, please tell me why you constantly torment and target me. I need an answer


Ayo, I see you next album with my man lung cancer
Well, Cam'Ron, I'll be seeing you on your next album when one of your close friends is diagnosed with lung cancer
