Killa Cam
With the goons I spy
Stay in tune with ma
This the realest since kumbaya
Bumbayay killa Cam my lord
Still the man with the pants
Scrilla fam, more on board
Now bitches They wanna neuter me
Niggas They wanna tutor me
The hooligan in Hoolahands
Maneuvering is nothing new to me
Doggy I'm from the land of grind
Pan pan gram or dime
Not toes or MC
When I say hammer time
Beef I hammer mine
When I get my hands on nines
If I had on Bammerline
Corduroys Cam a shine
Canary burgundy
I call it lemon red
Yellow diamonds in my ear
Call em lemon heads
Lemon head end up dead
Ice like Winnipeg
Gemstones, Flintstones
You could say I'm friends with Fred
You unhappy scrappy
I got Pataki at me
Bitches say I'm tacky daddy
Range look like Laffy Taffy

I'm from where Nicky Barns got rich as fuck
Rich and Nay hit the kitchen then were pitchin' up
Rob base, Mase, Doug E Fresh switched it up

So I parked in a tow-away zone, chrome

Welcome to Harlem
Where you welcome to problems
Off a furlo fella felons get parkings

Stood out like Pootie Tang
Soon as the stoolie sang

Bang bang came from that movie rang
Snap crack jewelry bling

How dope is this
Teach you how to rope a chick
What you want, Coke or piff
I got it all smoke or sniff
And you know my drift
Used to figures, doe and shit
You a rooster nigga
This a roaster bitch
And I roast ya bitch
That's how it usually end
Tell her and her groupie friends
Go get they Gucci cleanse
We the moody Gucci Louie and Pucci men
Or Skada Prada
The chopper it got the Uzi lens
Bird's eye view
The birds I knew
Flip birds
Bird gang
It was birds I flew
And word I blew
Or herb I grew
I would serve on stoops
Now I swerve in coupes
