Cam'ron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why I feel like I'm losin' weight
Why I ain't got no money, less I'm movin' weight
Why my life depend on what I'm a do today
Why I can't move away
It's just you and me, without the scrutiny,
Bitches screwin' me, two and three truancies
Four shots, one toolie G, one eulogy
Before a nigga under the world
When I was ten got the truly dict, my uncle pulled me to the side
And he schooled me quick, told me son gooey spit
You can't get paid in a earth this big, you worthless kid
Niggas don't deserve to live, go and get a motherfucker
If he murder kids, bottle up carbohydrates and preservatives
He got hit up that same night
Ever since my flow, my dough, and my hoe game been tight
Puns of pearls, yo tongue will twirl, listen here
Booger bear, I'll have you up in hooker gear,I swear
I was doin', Lex persuin', niggas wired like Western Union
Short like next to Ewing, head for truant, his set was ruined
Phony checks was fluent, listen hear me out
I'm from a cocaine block, with some plain clothes cops
Where the sun don't rise, but the rain don't stop
The pain don't stop, but my reign don't stop
Ain't no lockouts, the game don't stop
Every month you change yo locks, change yo spots
Get a little smart, want to change yo rocks
Rearrange yo tops you got a gang of friends, money
You got Ben's arraign money, yeah Ben ?? money
But if I get knocked, I ain't got no bail
But I come on the weekend, from Pablo's jail
See I came a long way that's livin' the wrong way
That's sniffin' the po-na, that's sippin' the cog-na, hey
You wanna be a star, you have ya own day
From where they play ball, drink and get buzzed
Reminiscin' on what a good kid he was
I don't know what happened, all he did is what he loved
That's when you opposin' me, killa get the rosary
Fuck this rap shit, I'll die for mine, motherfucker
[Chorus]
I'm around y'all, it's goin' down y'all
Murder rap, clown niggas back down y'all
Straight like that, y'all niggas fuck around yo
Bandana P, blow thirds, the four take you on all fours
Thug shit, I keep a beamed out fifth
Is you fiend out bitch, catch a gleamed bullet
I live the street life ya heard, guns money and birds
Get dead armed and dead on ya jewels and pearls
Where I was placed, put between the wrong style then
Capital P, you know whats the outcome
Bout some, but never put out the stout guns
Don't let ya mouth get you in some shit ya legs run from
For all the killas and the 100 dollar hoes
Who real check me out though
The most ill, more drama than Denzel
More liver than the park fights at Sunny Carson
Me and Killa Cam, live at the carbon
It's crazy, niggas throwin' they shit
And niggaz flashin' crazy
In Cam'ron's song Losin' Weight, the artist raps about his daily struggles, including financial issues, dependency on the drug trade, and living in a violent world. The chorus consists of Cam'ron questioning why he is losing weight, why he is only making money by moving drugs, why his future depends on his current actions, and why he can't leave his current situation.
The first verse describes how Cam'ron's uncle taught him at a young age to always have a "go-getter" attitude and to be relentless in making money. He also discusses the dangers of living in a world where people are killed for disrespecting others or not paying their debts. In the second verse, Cam'ron describes the lifestyle that he and his peers live in, which includes constant violence and the necessity of constantly changing one's location and appearance. He also speaks about his aspirations to be successful in the music industry and move away from his current situation.
The song's overall theme is the difficulty of breaking out of the drug trade and the cycle of poverty in urban areas. The artist questions why he is stuck in his current situation and how he can change it. The song also highlights the dangers that come with being involved in illegal activities and the fear of death that accompanies it.

Facts💯
I was born in 82. Graduated high school and dipset was born..
Was already a Cam'ron fan with SDE and Confessions of Fire. But SDE went harder imo. He introduced Juelz on that album. That clucking chickens song. He smashed it too. Plus the joint with Dutch & Spade on it hard AF.
I forgot that Cam came in on his verse and said "where I'm from they let the cartridge blast, eyybody smart in math!!!!" That whole shit was ham and I aint gonna fuck it up. Time to go back and listen to it.
Underrated album. The best song is "Sports Drugs Entertainment" til the arraignment.. That album made me a fan before Dipset arrived.
When they signed Cam to Rocafella. It was all over. He became Vice President and Hov couldnt take it. So he moved his office downstairs. Lol. I don't think Jay and Cam will ever make up. I know Jimmy did with Jay tho.. #Dipestforever
