Diplomats Lyrics

[Cam'Ron]
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

Overall Meaning

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.

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

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
