[Intro: Cam'ron]
Oh, this is my ****
The reason that we here, the reason that we here
Shut the **** up, man, you can't sing, man
You shut the **** up, what can you do? (Annoyin' as ****)
We been ridin' in this car for five hours, what you gon' do?
I ain't doing ****, I'ma ride this car
But I'ma tell you a story, though, let me you somethin'

[Verse 1: Cam'ron]
Yo, uh
I rock baguettes with hoodies (Hoodies), it's like extra goody (Goody)
I couldn't break dance, y'all (Nope), or electric boogie (Fuck that)
I was obsessed with Cookie (Loved her), I wanted to sex her cookie (Fuck her)
She said forget her nookie, wipe my nose, go get them boogies (What?)
I gave Cookie noogies (Fuck up), with the girls, got known (Mhm)
This my two-brim hat, call me Sherlock Holmes (What?)
Whole world got blown, so I tell hoes (What?)
Fuck Lee's and shell toes, these KangaROOS are velcro
(You know, I kept a lil' two dollars in the zipper part right there)
Timberland moccasins (Uh-huh), dimes in them penny loafers
A-train, one bus, sure, I had plenty chauffeurs (Sure)
Uncle, plenty holsters, Doziers, soldiers, holsters
Not golf, but like golf, he had plenty gophers (What he say?)
Can't get paid on an Earth this big? You worthless, kid
Cam don't deserve to live (When was that?)
Back then, I played for Gauchos, went over to Riverside
Young life, Dern left, we back over the Riverside
Blood played for Stone Gym (What happened?)
That's when I told him and Jim
We ain't ballin' for real, where's the stone gems? (Huh?)
Where's the chrome rims? (Rims)
That's when you changin' lanes (Lane)
Here, we change your lane, we'll gain a sprain, change the game
And not namin' names, but 'caine fame's like Dana Dane (Cocaine)
So next for life is (Life is), the TEC kept us righteous (Uh-huh)
'Cause, yes, expect the crisis when it's connects and prices (Goddamn)
I had to hustle harder, move up my muscle marger (Marger)
Seen New Jack City, copped me a couple Carters
And that's word to my father (Father), send a bird to my father (Father)
Dove love, R.I.P. on his early departure (Love)
I'm just merely an author (Author), but I'm purely a baller (Baller)
Every Friday, cross the street and I creep with Ms. Parker
[Chorus: Jaheim]
Just want new whips, new kicks, and clothes (All of the reasons)
So we can get with the models (All of the reasons)
And hit the strip with the Dip, we're set to blow
Now you know all of the reasons why we chase the dough (All of the reasons)
Just want new whips, new kicks, and clothes
So we can get with the models (All of the reasons)
And hit the strip with the Dip, we're set to blow
Now you know all of the reasons why we chase the dough

[Interlude: Cam'ron]
Killa, uh
I'm that n***a, man
Let me break it down real simple for y'all
Uh, listen, yo

[Verse 2: Cam'ron]
And I'm very prestigious (Very)
You had various leases (Vary)
All my pieces, painted 'em, cherry and peaches (Painted)
Chicks, Cherry and Peaches (Huh), they had cherried the heaters (What they did?)
Info on the toast, hustled up various reefer (Damn)
Ithaca indica (What else?), hydro, YO (What else?)
Haze on delivery (Huh), live hoes, five-four (Five-four?)
But kept the four-five for wise guys with eyes low (Uh)
Pick me up from four-five, CL 55, woah (Woah)
Playin' Grand Theft Auto, they like Diablo (Oh, you like Diablo)
My crew's the triad, Zeke, Santana, Capo (Capo)
But they some slimmies who (Who) could rock a Jimmy Choo shoe
Next day, velour sweatsuit, construction Timmy boots
Don't be no guinea, boo (No), you rock that Fendi, you (You)
You drinkin' Henny too? Coupe color is Winnie Pooh (Pooh)
And they skinny, who? (Who?), They had my favorite rum (Rum)
Not a six-four, five-four, but made it jump (Jump)
Shout Che Che La Funk (Funk), he keep the K and pump (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 running I guess they could relate to Gump (Forrest, that is)
[Chorus: Jaheim]
Just want new whips, new kicks, and clothes (All of the reasons)
So we can get with the models (All of the reasons)
And hit the strip with the Dip, we're set to blow (All of the reasons)
Now you know all of the reasons why we chase the dough

[Outro]
