Do Ya Thing
Cam'ron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dipset, Killa Cam, duke da God
I make cheddar that's cheddar, you gotta say bravo
Ma mess with me, I'm better than lotto
Got more than a million, fuck a dollar and a dream
You don't even need a dollar, holla at the team
Mansions, cars, Prada on your jeans
Hell in Harlem, I'm poppin' up in Queens
Brooklyn, the Bronx, hoppin' on the scene
And you're not from the regime and I'm popular with fiends
No gossip they cop it, crotched up in a lean
Cars I cop it, crotched up and I lean
Seventy five, dropped it on a Beam
And you love the way I'm bouncin' it, weed I roll a pound of it
Ya'll niggaz are counterfeit, money I stay countin' it
Throw a punch and I counter quick, down to flip
Beef I love the sound of it, your crib'll be surround in it
Do ya thing, do ya thing, do it
Do ya thing, do ya thing, do it
Do ya thing, do ya thing, do it
Do ya thing, do ya thing, do it
More killing killing, more killing killing, for Killa, Killa
More killing killing, more killing killing, for Killa, Killa
More killing killing, more killing killing, for Killa, Killa
More killing killing, more killing killing, for Killa, Killa
Yes, honey got money, yea my money is right
But my wrist so bright, look like 'Sunny Delight'
Twenty K times twenty, times twenty the price
You don't do math, eight million in ice
And yeah, I got more to tell must be bored as hell
Electronic jewelry, I need a 'Duracell'
Battery triple A, where the icicles lay
And beat you with a wiffle bat, all over a nickel play
Girlfriend, my girlfriend got the nickel plate
Right in the bra, it tickle her little nipples, hey
Juelz got the whistle
Me, I got the whistle that whistle right through the pistol K
And this is the chronicles of Killa
And don't smoke 'cause the chronic it'll kill ya
I'm a monster and gorilla, that'll conquer for the scrilla
You will get an invoice you vomit in the villa
Do ya thing, do ya thing, do it
Do ya thing, do ya thing, do it
Do ya thing, do ya thing, do it
Do ya thing, do ya thing, do it
Do ya thing, do ya thing, do it
Do ya thing, do ya thing, do it
Do ya thing, do ya thing, do it
Do ya thing, do ya thing, do it
More killing killing, more killing killing, for Killa, Killa
More killing killing, more killing killing, for Killa, Killa
More killing killing, more killing killing, for Killa, Killa
More killing killing, more killing killing, for Killa, Killa
The lyrics to Cam'ron and Nicole Wray's "Do Ya Thing" remix are all about flaunting wealth and success. Cam'ron brags about his money and possessions, such as mansions, cars, and Prada clothing. He claims he doesn't need a dollar anymore and that he can make cheddar on his own. The song also alludes to drugs, with Cam'ron mentioning that he's popular with fiends and refers to different areas in New York City where he's hoppin' on the scene.
In the second verse, Cam'ron continues with his boasting, this time rapping about his jewelry and specifically his watch that cost $8 million. He also mentions his girlfriend and her nipple piercings, and Juelz Santana makes an appearance on the track with his whistle. The chorus repeats the phrase "do ya thing" four times, and the song ends with more references to killing.
Overall, the song is a classic example of the hip-hop genre, where the artists rap about their wealth and success as a way to gain clout and status in the industry. The lyrics also touch on darker themes such as drugs and violence, which is a common motif in the genre.
