Kanye this that 1970s heroin flow huh
Yeah let's speed it up (ya'll hear people talking bout who high who not)
Uh I'm back in (man they don't know we fixing to kill the game this year)
(Killa, ye, come on)
Uh uh aiyyo street mergers I legislated
The nerve I never hated on murders premeditated
Hit you from a block away
Drinking Saki on a Suzuki we in Osaka Bay
Playing soccer stupid stay in a sucker's place
Pluck ya ace take ya girl fuck her face
She dealing with Killa so you love her taste
She swallowing Killa cause she love the taste
I got brought up with crooking
Kitchen orders that I'm cooking
But got caught up with the chicks
who woulda thought I was from Brooklyn
It gets boring just looking
I feel like Bill Cosby pouring in the pudding
Now the dashboard is wooden from a hard tangled grammar
Interior inferior star-spangled banner
Car game bananas, Ma man and Tana
Guns everywhere like the car came with hammers, he's back
They trying to say he (down, down)
I hear niggas saying he (down and out)
But our flow's the truest (oh)
The game's in a nuisance (no no)
Our girls is the models (oh)
They coochies the juiciest (ooh)
Yeah they say he (down, down)
Yeah they say he (down not out)
'Cause I'm back on my grind (oh)
Money back on my mind (no no)
Ye and Killa Cam (oh)
The world is mine (ooh)
I treat bitches straight up like Simon says
Open vagina put ya legs behind ya head
Cop me air 1s hon lime and red
You got pets me too mines are dead
Doggy fox minks gators that's necessary
Accessories my closet's pet cemetery
I get approached by animal activists
I live in a zoo I run scandals with savages
All my niggas get together to gather loot
Bodyguard for what dog I'd rather shoot
I go to war old tims battered boots
Hand grenade goggles and a parachute
Ya'll don't even know the name of my fleet
It was touch me, tease me when case was the shit
You don't know 'bout the cases I get
Court case, briefcase, suitcase, cases of Cris, ow
Yo aiyyo you dealing with some sure shit
My bitches pure thick
Play razor tag slice ya face you're it
It's I who come by drive through
Gator told Maury three quarters sky blue
Look at Miami eyes blue five two
I approached her "hi boo, how you?"
Tony skin Louis oh you fly too
You a stewardess good ma I fly too
Now a nigga got baking to bake
Harlem shake naw I'm in Harlem shaking away
Shaking to bake, shaking the Jakes
Kill you shoot the funeral up and Harlem Shake at your wake
Kiss ya picture though you still taped in a lake
I'm laughing you couldn't wait to escape
For anyone who owed the dough I had to load the four
I hoped a nigga heard when I said I told you so
Uh Killa
Mine, Killa you already know Harlem
Whole Midwest, Detroit, Nap town, St. Louis
Chicago of course, Westside holla at me
Southside wild hundreds
You know what it is Ohio
Columbus holla at ya boy
You know what else I do
Dayton, Youngstown, Cleveland, Cincinnati
The song "Down and Out" by Cam'ron ft. Kanye is a rap song that talks about how the artists rose from nothing to become one of the greatest artists in the world. The song is filled with lyrics about murder, guns, drugs, and women, and it paints a picture of the harsh realities of society. The song's beat is slow, almost melancholic, and it feels like a tribute to the early 70s, which is referenced in the lyrics.
In the first verse, Cam'ron talks about his violent past, describing how he used to engage in criminal activities. In the second verse, he talks about the struggles he faced while growing up in Brooklyn. He uses a simile to describe how he felt pouring pudding, comparing it to the mundane feeling of being bored. The third verse talks about his life now, and how he is now successful with beautiful women surrounding him. Throughout the song, Cam'ron shows his arrogance and self-confidence in his skills and reputation as an artist.
Kanye comes in for the chorus, singing about how nobody can stop them, even though haters are talking about them being "down and out." He boasts about his wealth and calls out all the beautiful women that surround him.
Overall, the song is a celebration of the artists' success, and how they have overcome all obstacles to become who they are today.
