Cam'ron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh this is my [beep]
The reason that we here. (Shut the [beep] up.)
The reason that we here. ([beep] you can't sing.)
You shut the [beep] up, what can you do?
We been ridin' in this car for 5 hours
What you gonna do?
(I'm gonna tell you a story)
Yo, uh, I rock baguettes with hoodies, it's like extra goodie
I couldn't break dance ya'll, or electric boogie
I was obsessed with Cookie, I wanna sex her cookie
She said forget her nookie, wipe my nose, go get them boogies

I gave Cookie nookies, with the girls, got known
This my two brim hat, call me Sherlock Holmes
Whole world got blown, so I tell hoes
Fuck Lee's and shell toes, Dekangaroos and Velcro

Timbaland, mocassins, dimes in them pennyloafers
A-Train, one bus, sure I had plenty soldiers
Uncle, plenty holsters, dolgers, soldiers, hostess
Not golfin' like golf, he had plenty gophers

Can't get paid, the earth is big
You worthless kid, Cam don't deserve to live
Back then I played for douchos, went over the riverside
Young life, turned left, we back over the riverside

Blood played for stone gem
That's when I told him and Jim
We ain't ballin for real, where's the stone gems?
Where's the chrome rims?

That's when you changing lanes
Here we change your lane, we'll gain a sprain
Change the game
And not namin' names

But 'caine fames like Damon Wayans
Connect for life is, the Tech kept us righteous
'Cause yes expect the crisis, when it's connects and prices
I had to hustle harder, move up my mustle marger

Seen New Jack City, cop me a couple cars
And that's word to my father, send a bird to my father
Dove love, R.I.P. on his early departure
I'm just merely an author, but I'm purely a baller

Every Friday, across the street, and I creep with Ms. Parker

[Chorus]
Get the whips the kicks, and clothes
So we can get with the models
And hit the strip with the Dip, we're 'Set to blow
Now you know
All of the reasons why we chase the doe
Get the whips the kicks, and clothes
So we can get with the models
And hit the strip with the Dip, we're 'Set to blow
Now you know
All of the reasons why we chase the doe

Killa!
That nigga man, let me break it down real simple for ya'll
Listen, yo, and I'm very prestigous
You have various leases

All my pieces, painted them, cherry and peaches
Chics, Cherry and Peaches
They had cherry deheaters
If I want a toast, hustled up various reefer

Ithica, Ithica, hydro, why yo?
Haze on delivery, lives hoes, five fo
But kept the fo-five, for wise guys with eyes low
Pick me up from fo-five, CL-55, whoa!

Playin' Grand Theft Auto, they like Diablo
My crews' the triad, Zeke, Santana, Cop Co'!
But they some slimmy sue
Can rock a Jimmy Choo shoe

Next day Valore sweatsuit, construction timmy boots
Don't be no guinea boo, you rock that Fendi you
You drinkin' Henney too
Coupe Calez, when he boo

And he skinny too, they had my favorite rum
Not a six-fo-five-fo, but made in jump
Shout, say say the funk, he keep the K in pump
He ain't never scared, never scared, raise the trunk

We'll just lay and dump, play the punk, spray the chump
The way they runnin I guess they could relate to them

[Chorus]
Get the whips the kicks, and clothes
So we can get with the models
And hit the strip with the Dip, we're 'Set to blow




Now you know
All of the reasons why we chase the doe

Overall Meaning

The song "More Reasons" by Cam'ron (feat. Jaheim) is about the pursuit of wealth and luxury. The opening lines indicate that the singer's reason for being there is to gain these things, and that anyone who cannot contribute to this goal can "shut the [beep] up." The lyrics then go on to describe the singer's background and approach to obtaining these things, which involves hustling, playing games, and being involved with women. The chorus emphasizes the importance of material possessions and being able to attract models. Overall, the song seems to celebrate a lifestyle characterized by wealth, consumerism, and hedonism.


One interesting fact about the song is that it features R&B singer Jaheim, who provides the chorus vocals. Another is that the song samples "Set It Off" by Strafe, a classic 1980s hip-hop track. The song was released on Cam'ron's 2004 album "Purple Haze," which was generally well received by critics and helped cement his status as a popular and influential rapper. The album was named after a strain of marijuana that Cam'ron favored at the time. Cam'ron himself is known for his distinctive fashion sense, which has included pink furs, colorful sunglasses, and retro sneakers. The song's focus on material possessions and consumerism reflects larger trends in hip-hop culture, which has often celebrated wealth and luxury despite the economic challenges facing many of its listeners. The song's lyrics have been criticized for promoting shallow values and reinforcing stereotypes about black masculinity.

A-train, one bus, sure I had plenty chauffeurs
Uncle, plenty holsters, dolgers, soldiers, hostess
Not golf but like golf, he had plenty gophers
Can't get paid on an earth this big?
You worthless kid, Cam don't deserve to live

We ain't balling for real, where's the stone gems?
Where's the chrome rims?
That's when you changing lanes
Here we change your lane, we'll gain a sprain
Change the game, and not naming names
But 'caine fame's like Dana Dane's (cocaine)
Rolex for lifers, the TEC kept us righteous
'Cause yes expect the crisis, when it's connects and prices
I had to hustle harder, move up my muscle merger
Seen New Jack City, cop me a couple Carters
And that's word to my father, send a bird to my father
Dove love, R.I.P. on his early departure
I'm just merely an author, but I'm purely a baller
Every Friday, 'cross the street, and I creep with Ms. Parker

[Chorus: Jaheim]
Get the whips, the kicks, and clothes

Jaheimโ€™s vocals be everything on this track. Simply stellar. Outstanding vocalist.

โ€œCanโ€™t get paid in a Earth this big?/ You worthless, kid/ Cam donโ€™t deserve to live.โ€ That part hits so hard! That candid and downright brutal self-criticism is an example of Camโ€™ronโ€™s elite pen game. โœ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ”ฅ
