Shanghai
Cam'ron Lyrics

Shut the fuck up punk!
Cam'ron aggressively commands someone to stop talking.

Give me that shit!
Cam'ron demands something from someone forcefully.

You feel sorry for who!!
Cam'ron questions a person's empathy towards someone or something.

Gave you head before I stormed in
Cam'ron brags about performing oral sex on someone before making a sudden appearance.

Muthafucka, any problem yo I want in
Cam'ron asserts himself as someone who likes to solve problems or confrontations.

I'm here to win
Cam'ron states his competitive nature and desire for victory.

Every morning, I'm yawnin
Cam'ron expresses boredom or lack of interest in something.

While ya'll are boardin, the store and showin that you're fake bringin some corn in
Cam'ron criticizes other people for being uninteresting or unauthentic in their actions.

Meat, rice, and poultry, We all know how you get your money
Cam'ron makes a reference to a stereotypical Chinese restaurant's menu items and alludes to organized crime as their source of income.

Don't insult me, Shutup
Cam'ron tells someone to stop talking in a disrespectful manner.

For me not steppin, You can fault me
Cam'ron takes responsibility for not intervening in a situation and acknowledges potential criticism or fault.

Yeah, I chill, But we are about to split this muthafucka, Like SugarHill
Cam'ron admits to being non-confrontational but also announces his intent to take action soon.

See your man, He thinks he's wise, Tell him chill, He ain't the only one with chinky eyes
Cam'ron mocks someone who believes they're clever and reminds them that they're not the only Asian person present.

Yo, I'm related to him, And I'll put eight through him, When I skate though him
Cam'ron claims a familial connection to someone but also threatens to harm them when he sees them.

And my co-d, I don't think you know is take to him, And before it's over, I'll have this whole fuckin store with that smoke aroma
Cam'ron hints at an accomplice who will create a cover-up with smoke and alludes to potentially robbing the store.

And yo, your wife keeps twitchin, Than we both can bone her, Real quick, real sick, Pull out dick, Then nigga go on and riff, I'll have this whole fuckin clip, On some raw dog shit
Cam'ron crudely suggests engaging in sexual activity with someone's wife and boasts about his skill in doing so.

Close that gate, It's time to negotiate, Now your store really could fulfill my needs, Got now and later seeds, Niggas need dungarees
Cam'ron shifts the conversation to a negotiation of how much money he will receive and lists items he wants or that could be sold for profit.

We in the middle of Harlem, What we need for them ski's, That's the coverup nigga, For the weed, guns, and keys
Cam'ron mentions the need for ski masks as a cover-up and alludes to illegal items such as drugs, guns, and keys as potential profit.

But ya'll is gettin live though, I ain't gonna cry yo, I just want to get paid off, nigga, Like five-0
Cam'ron notices excitement or energy in the room but reassures that he only wants to make money like the police.

In America the product is coke and weed, In China, the product is dope and speed, The Columbians got the coca leaves, But in Harlem, niggas like to Plot and Scheme
Cam'ron compares regions and the drugs popular in each and points out the scheming nature of people in Harlem.

Now your store grose, A mil' a week, And my niggas on the block, Yo, we feel is sweet, But we been livin here forever, Can you feel our beat
Cam'ron notes the success of the store and how he and his friends have been long-time residents of the area.

So give us half, Or I guarantee baby, You gonna feel the heat
Cam'ron demands half of the store's profits or threatens violence.

And I'm a little bit high, Save a little and you die, Send a blizzard through your store, In the middle of July
Cam'ron admits to being under the influence of drugs and threatens to cause destruction to the store if they don't comply with his demands.

So if you want to chat, We can, If you want to scrap, We can, But I feel like Jackie Chan, Exactly man
Cam'ron offers the option to talk or fight but compares himself to Jackie Chan who is known for his martial arts skills.

Kong Fu, Murder thoughts like John Woo, I'm here for Bi, Not to con you
Cam'ron references more martial arts and movie directors and specifies that he is there for business and not to scam them.

Now it's a done deal yo, There ain't no bluffin kid, And tell your wife don't move, I know where that button is
Cam'ron confirms that a deal has been made and warns the store owner that he has the power to hurt his wife.

Yo, I would hate to have to bust her, That's petty black, Matter of fact get out the way, I know where that maschetti at
Cam'ron regrets the thought of harming someone's wife but also suggests he possesses a weapon to do so and tells people to move out of the way.

Give me that, Blamm!!!, That's when the chink goes flip, Then grabs me like Spock, On some Bruce Lee shit
Cam'ron takes an item forcefully and the store owner reacts aggressively by grabbing him like a martial arts hero.

And his wife had a grenade, That's when my niggas sprayed, And in a puddle of blood, Is where that bitch laid
Cam'ron confirms that the store owner's wife had a weapon and his friends responded with violence, resulting in her death.

But this ain't have to happen yo, Man you see the weed for real, Nigga let me go!, Back up off me!
Cam'ron regrets the unnecessary violence and asks to be released while telling others to back off.

Damn that was a close one, Next time, your ass gonna play Bruce son, That's Word to mutha!, You don't know how deep we are
Cam'ron acknowledges a close call and warns that next time the store owner won't be as lucky and reminds them of the power of his group.

Give them them tapes, Ya'll got VCR's, Yeah, three of 'em
Cam'ron requests to take video tapes from the store as evidence or for sale.

My deal to the floor, In a week, I can bring about 10 thou to the store, Yeah, I know I know I know, That's not near to what your crew had, But we doin this together, Nigga that's too bad
Cam'ron confirms a deal to bring money to the store but acknowledges it isn't as much as they had before and reminds them they are in this together.

Now here's the deal either take it or leave it, Cause see these guns, We can take it or squeeze it, Now everything is set up right?
Cam'ron gives the store owner an ultimatum to accept the deal or face violence and asks if everything is in order.

I got some girls that will be here sometime tonight, You know meya, the nigga wit China white, They got some shit that will fuck around and blind your sight
Cam'ron mentions the arrival of girls who have drugs that are potent enough to impair vision.

They kind of tight, Now if I here things behind the hype, I'll put a contract on your life, And you sign it right
Cam'ron brags about the quality of the drugs and threatens the store owner's life if he hears anything untrue being said about him.

The first day, So have my money Thursday, Cause I don't want to have to see your ass nigga on herse day, In the worst way
Cam'ron sets a deadline for payment and threatens violence again if they don't comply in time.

In America the product is coke and weed, In China, the product is dope and speed, The Columbians got the coca leaves, But in Harlem, niggas like to Plot and Scheme
Cam'ron repeats the chorus and the comparison of drugs in various regions.
