Do It Again
Cam'ron featuring Destiny's Child & Jimmy Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Man I fucked alot of bitches man (true)
Made a lot of money (true)
Made a lot of enemies (true)
Would I do this shit all over again, I dunno
That's a good question, would you do your life over again?
(You right about that)
I know I fuck fat ass Tasha one more time if I have nothing else to do
I fuck that bitch one more time, that ass was fat

Yo, shorty get a desk and chair
Now wit the guess appear
But if you knew my life you'd shed a tear where
From the fucked up scar to the tough luck bar

To my cousin fightin' chapters in a crushed up car
I handled live beef from the pluriel I beef
Capeshe a few cats tried to muirelize me (for what)
Cause I drive a fresh benz and collect ends

But I lost brothers some best friends
Word life, we all bredgren
But we all speak and nobody budgin'
'Cause we all stubbrin'

Yeah, we let the hate rise
Give each other fake fives
Look back peripheral give each other snake eyes
True in all sequels (true)

You too of all people
Guess they right money is the root of all people
A nigga front on them though I triggered at em'
I don't know Big it's just the type of nigga I am

I live my life a thug
Live my life wit drugs (drugs)
Fuck everybody else I live my life for Blood
So Lexus, Moff I got's to keep Triste near

'Cause Blood supposed to be here (cause blood suppost to be here)

[Chorus]
When comes a song
All those crimes we've done
All those times was fun but would you do it again?
When comes a song
All those crimes we've done
All those times was fun but would you do it again?

Uh,
One of my worst fears, is being stuffed in a hearse
Six feet deep being crushed my the earth
Bury me wit rings so when I'm plucked from the earth

Every motherfucker see how much it was worth (we makin money)
Oh you stressin' my best misjudgin' of my worst
And all my life put in nothin' but work
Y'all talk about how I was such a big flirt

I never slowed down cause I was fuckin' wit skirts
I mean since the early days I was cuttin' from church
Y'all talk about things I've done to my life
You talk about things that I've done to my wife

I know where I'm going so I can come in a crisis
I do this for my niggas, who never get no cheddar
For my niggas up state, that'll never get a letter
For my vitally sick, that would never get no better

For my niggas in the cold, that would never get a sweater
For the life I lead, things I done
A nigga went to school I had to bring my gun
A nigga had to hustle I had to slung them drums (I feel you man)
As the man of the house I had to bring income

[Chorus]
When comes a song
All those crimes we've done
All those times was fun but would you do it again?
When comes a song
All those crimes we've done
All those times was fun but would you do it again?

Yo, this life I should rock again? (huh)
Stand on this motherfuckin' block again?
Almost get shot again (it was tough out there yo)
See alot of men get shot up bad

Back up hobbilin' sister out gossipin' (get em' to the hospital)
So I don't rhyme for excutives
It's imperitive do it for my jailberg consecutives
Get my messages, hell no

Or my block nigga never live, one room 7 kid
Screamin' mother overhead two plates, one fork sour milk and a loaf of bread
But I shook it off smiled of course kid
My girl wildout on some child support shit

I'm out exhausted obsolete y'all (y'all)
But girls will flip like Dominique Daws
I'm not here to teach y'all, just here to reach y'all
If I do my life over, I repeat all

[Chorus: x2]
When comes a song
All those crimes we've done
All those times was fun, but would you do it again?
When comes a song




All those crimes we've done
All those times was fun but would you do it again?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cam'ron featuring Destiny's Child Jimmy Jones's song "Do It Again" illustrate a sense of reflection and introspection. The verses touch on topics of past mistakes, accomplishments, and regrets. The hook asks the question of whether or not one would do it all over again, despite the consequences and hardships that may follow. The first verse focuses on the relationships the artist has had, the money they've made, and the enemies they've gained along the way. They seem unsure if they would want to relive that life. The second verse touches on a difficult upbringing and the pressures of surviving in a dangerous environment. While the artist reflects on tough times, he also expresses his gratitude for the experience.


One interesting aspect of this song is the collaboration between Cam'ron and Destiny's Child's Jimmy Jones. Cam'ron is a hip-hop artist from Harlem, NY, while Jones is an R&B singer from Houston, TX. Another point of interest is the production of the track, which features a sample of Roy Ayers' "Everybody Loves the Sunshine." The sample adds a soulful, laid-back feel to the song, contrasting the harsh lyrical content. The lyrics themselves are also noteworthy in their honest expression of regret and hesitation about living a dangerous lifestyle. The song's refrain, asking if one would do it again, is a question many people may wonder about their own lives.
