Tito, crack that dutch
Roll that purple up
Niggaz slacking in their macking
Simpin' in their pimpin'
Glad I got you baby
You the only one I can count on man
You may crutch man, yo
[Verse 1]
We leaves spots milt, you get your top tilt
Mop filled, my block leaves cops killed, duck shots still
You not built, you had zirconia's, those was zirconia's
I kept it spot built, I can ensemble linen
Grinin' on rock, silk, I'm hitting bitches like switches
I'm a top Wilt, that's Chamberlain, mama became a friend
Said she had the lamest men, wanted to learn the game I win
I had to game her then, you rearrange your friends
Then you change that Benz, we need a Range with Rims
She bought a gravy Rover, it had a pastry odor
Yes she made the quota, cause I'm like Ray Liotta
Fiends in a caskets, leaning them bastards
But the meanest of fabrics, when I'm with Athena Onassis
Or Ms. Trina, the queen of the asses
Causes when it come to purple, I've seen it in masses
[Cam - talking]
Whoo! Tino, you almost finished? (This ain't purple neither Tito)
This blunt almost out right here (I don't know what this is)
I love you man (I'm not smoking this)
Only thing I count on is you (Tito I want him, I don't want him)
Tito just got the blunt, (Don't fuck with nothing else but you)
I'm reloaded now, (God damn)
(Tito roll me up another blunt, something ain't right with this)
[Verse 2]
And I'm a naissance child, gaming her stupid now
Plus, I'm stupid foul, pulled a coup to trial
I come through Canal, and let the luger style
In the DA mouth shit, here's a root canal
Right on center street, put 'em on front street
Next day the front page, who gonna front on me
Girls deranked and chumped, call 'em skank and cunt
Take a trip with the Dip bitch, to the bank to stunt
Serena Williams, downtown vacant and Trump
Who want to bang her rump, chump, yes I bring the pump
That's why I'm kinda hyped, because my money's good
Which means my mind is right, so I got time to write
How I grind at night, Next tab, china white
Army hat, army jacket, yesir my line is right
Diminish his army, we finished the Don P
Now let's get purple like Grimace and Barney
Holla
[Cam - talking]
I gotta come in now, I don't know what Tito's rolling up
I gotta roll it up my self (I don't know what's in them Dutch Masters)
If you don't crush your own weed up
And put it in the blunt yourself
Your own brother'll hand you some dust
That's what time it is
I gotta come in
Give me two minutes y'all, I'll be back with y'all in a minute
I gotta roll up
The song "Purple Haze" by Diplomats featuring Cam'Ron, Juelz Santana, and Jim Jones is a classic example of the Harlem-based hip hop group's musical style. In this song, Cam'Ron's first verse boasts of his criminal exploits, referencing drug use, gang activity, and his sexual relationships with multiple women. He gives a shout-out to his associate Tito, who rolls the purple "haze"-inducing blunt that Cam'Ron has been smoking throughout the song. Cam'Ron's verse features wordplay and double entendres that speak to his group's relationship with crime and drugs.
The second verse expands on Cam'Ron's braggadocious claim in the first verse that he is the "top Wilt"- referring to basketball star Wilt Chamberlain- and that he is like crime boss Ray Liotta. He also touches on his wealth and his intentions to keep hustling to maintain it. Throughout the song, he infuses his rhymes with the sounds of classic New York hip hop, including beatboxing and jazz-influenced instrumentation. The hook, sung by Jim Jones, repeats the line "purple haze, got me going in circles" and refers to smoking a potent strain of marijuana known for its "hazy" effect.

Mop filled, my block leaves cops killed, duck shots still
There is blood everywhere, my neighborhood has killed cops and people are still cautious

Said she had the lamest men, wanted to learn the game I win
My mom said that she met many boring men and she wanted to learn from me who always wins
I had to game her then, you rearrange your friends
I had to show her my winning game, sometimes you need to change the people you hang out with
Then you change that Benz, we need a Range with Rims

She bought a Range Rover and it smelled like a pastry
Yes she made the quota, cause I'm like Ray Liotta
She made the sales goal because I'm smooth like actor Ray Liotta
Fiends in a caskets, leaning them bastards
Drug addicts in coffins, they can't stay straight
But the meanest of fabrics, when I'm with Athena Onassis
But the most expensive fabrics, when I'm with Athena Onassis
Or Ms. Trina, the queen of the asses
Or Ms. Trina, the woman with the best body
Causes when it come to purple, Iโve seen it in masses
Cause when it comes to purple weed, I've seen a lot of it
Whoo! Tino, you almost finished? (This ain't purple neither Tito)
Hey Tino, are you done making the blunt? (This weed isn't even purple Tito)
This blunt almost out right here (I don't know what this is)
This blunt is almost finished (I don't know what kind of weed this is)
I love you man (I'm not smoking this)
I appreciate you man (I'm not smoking this low-quality weed)

I'm reloaded now, (God damn)
I have a new blunt now, (This is crazy)
Tito roll me up another blunt, something ain't right with this
Tito roll me another blunt, there's something wrong with this one
And I'm a naissance child, gaming her stupid now
And I'm a natural player, manipulating women now
Plus, I'm stupid foul, pulled a coup to trial
Plus, I'm uncontrollably nasty, and got arrested
I come through Canal, and let the luger style
I go through Canal street, and shoot aggressively
In the DA mouth shit, here's a root canal
Shoot in the mouth of the district attorney like having a root canal procedure
Right on center street, put 'em on front street
Right in the middle of Center Street, expose them publicly
Next day the front page, who gonna front on me
The next day, the story is in the front page of the newspaper, no one's going to confront me
Girls deranked and chumped, call 'em skank and cunt
Girls who were seduced and discarded, call them promiscuous and vulgar names
Take a trip with the Dip bitch, to the bank to stunt
Let's go with the Dipset crew, to the bank to show off our wealth
Serena Williams, downtown vacant and Trump
Serena Williams, downtown area and Trump hotel and apartments are empty and available for us
Who want to bang her rump, chump, yes I bring the pump
Who wants to have sex with her butt, idiot? Yes, I bring a gun
That's why I'm kinda hyped, because my money's good
That's why I'm excited, because I have a lot of money
Which means my mind is right, so I got time to write
That means my mind is clear and healthy, so I have time to write music
How I grind at night, Next tab, china white
How I hustle at night, snorting cocaine on the next pill
Army hat, army jacket, yesir my line is right
Wearing an army cap and jacket, my style is impressive
Diminish his army, we finished the Don P
We weakened his crew, and finished the expensive champagne Don Perignon
Now let's get purple like Grimace and Barney
Now let's smoke purple weed like the characters Grimace and Barney
Holla
That's all for now
I gotta come in now, I don't know what Tito's rolling up
I have to join now, I don't know what kind of blunt Tito is making
I gotta roll it up myself (I don't know what's in those Dutch Masters)
I have to roll it myself (I don't know what kind of blunt wraps Tito has)
If you don't crush your own weed up
If you don't break up your own weed
And put it in the blunt yourself
And put it in the blunt yourself
Your own brother'll hand you some dust
Your own family or close friends will give you low-quality weed
That's what time it is
That's how things are
Give me two minutes y'all, I'll be back with y'all in a minute
Give me two minutes guys, I'll be right back with you in a moment
I gotta roll up
I have to roll up the blunt myself
