Biography

Cameron Ezike Giles (born February 4, 1976), better known by his stage name Cam'ron, is an American rapper, record executive, and actor from Harlem, New York. Beginning his career in the mid-1990s as Killa Cam, Giles signed to Lance "Un" Rivera's Untertainment under the aegis of Epic and released his first two studio albums Confessions of Fire and S.D.E. (Sports Drugs & Entertainment) in 1998 and 2000 respectively; the former achieved Gold status by the RIAA. After demanding his release from Epic, Giles signed to Roc-A-Fella Records in 2001 and released his third studio album Come Home with Me the following year; it achieved Platinum status by the RIAA, and also contained Cam'ron's highest-charting singles to date; "Oh Boy" and "Hey Ma", which peaked at #4 and #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. His fourth studio album and final release on Roc-A-Fella, Purple Haze was released in 2004 to critical acclaim and commercial success, being certified gold by the RIAA. After separating his label, Diplomat Records from Roc-A-Fella in 2005 due to disagreements between himself and label-head Jay-Z, Cam'ron signed the label to a distribution deal with Asylum Records. In 2006 Cam'ron released his fifth studio album, Killa Season, which contained a film of the same name, in which Cam'ron made his director-screenwriter debut and starred as the main character. In 2009, after taking a hiatus due to his mother's health, Cam'ron returned to music and released his sixth studio album Crime Pays. It reached number 3 on the Billboard 200. Aside from his solo career, he is the leader of The Diplomats (also known as Dipset), a group he formed in 1997 with his childhood friends Jim Jones and Darrell "Digga" Branch. He was also one half of the duo U.N. (Us Now), and a founding member of the Children of the Corn before they disbanded in 1997. Giles has also occasionally worked as an actor, starring in the Roc-A-Fella films Paper Soldiers and Paid in Full in 2002.

LYRICS

Killa
This that Harlem Music Right Here
This that Diddy Bop, Get ready for the winner music
That's what it is
Killa, Dip Set
[Cam'Ron Verse]
Uh, Uh
You know me dawg, I just wanna keep the peace
But saying my name, that's only gonna lead to beef
Tell my niggaz chill, but they wanna heat the streets/ (Be Easy)
Or do all the records, Check-it who spit beef to heat

[Juelz Santana Verse]
Everybody Welcoming this, Welcoming that
He wasn't welcome in the first place, how we welcome him back?

[Un Kasa Verse]
Give me the Mac, let me welcome with that
Tell ?Mr. Rogers?, I leave his brains on the trolley track
Now prolly that

[Cam'Ron Verse]
Listen, ya'll Stop It/ (Stop)
Know you appalled dotted
But this my call by the force prophet, all profit/ (all profit)
Harlem Hustler (yep), I can't at all knock it/ (nope)
But you hard, when you go in the floor, pop dance?
What you offering, put it, write an offer in
They take it all, Cash, Credit, Silver, down to porcelin
Look at the Porsche he's in/ (look at it)
Then Give them portioning/ (To Who?)
No handicap, Annie Rag, orphan friends
Friends, but the sizzurp I'm drinking on
Birds I'm thinking on
Get your Kirk Franklin on
Word, so you get your Ben Franklin on
Just when you think it's wrong
One blink, he's gone/ (damn)

(Chorus)
Father Forgive us
We gon take him to church
Father Forgive us
And it's the truth it hurts
Father Forgive us
And that won't work
No, No, No, No, No Way

[Cam'Ron 2nd verse]
Yo, you try to handle us
Get on the air and damage us
Screaming out Harlem (huh) like you ain't just a fan to us/ (Where you been
at?)
Well let me fill you in, now it's a whole clan of us
Blink so mad, he went and beat up Canibus
Zeke got shot then Zeke locked up/ (then)
E got killed (what else?) B popped up
But B hopped up and still broke out his chest
On probation, Doe on house arrest/ (what up Doe)
Right out the flesh
Sit in a house and rest
He don't pout, get him gear, in the house he fresh/ (Fresssh)
Not that you care, just getting clear and think
One glare and wink
Everyone wearing pink
I'm the reason that your two rings are clear/ (Yeh, What Else?)
I'm the reason that your ear rings is square/ (Yeh, hear?)
Now we take trips to casinos, to lovely homes
You check on Lotti's mom, Minos, Honeycombs/ (Homes)
You trying to fake it with cardem, pardon
You gonna leave them naked like Tarzan

[Cam'ron Talking]
Kudo Love know that too

Holler at Kudo, ask Nelly about him

[Chorus]

[Cam'Ron 3rd verse]
Yo, Yo
I kill diamonds, get with pearls
I ain't trying kid the world
I ain't got beef, when I do, I say ?Get 'Em Girls?
Not a diss dawg (nope) we just heard the fronting/ (Heard It)
Do Harlem a favor (What?) get a church or something/ (something)
A rec center in the winter where the youth can play
They don't even shoot the jay
sell drugs, shoot and spray
I'm knownbetter, still moving deuce a day
Two, that's two keys, I still move the Yay/ (Yayo)
Found a newer way
My crew do and say
Fist Fights to Shoot Outs, we won't move away


[Chorus behind Cam 'Ron talking]

All my niggaz that held it down the last half a decade
My nigga Gruff, Bad 140th, 139th
Black tone, White Tone, 142nd Rell Street
And 141st, Tito, My Jamaicans, My Belegians
33 33 Polo grounds, St.Nick colonial Jurist
Lincoln, Tab, Forster, Johnson, Jeff Wagner
Wilson, East River, The 9, 145th St.Nick, 145th Broadway
Lukas, Taliban, 135th, 118th, Manhattan
134th and 8th, Powerful what's really popping
Sarge hold your head, Freaky Seeky hold your head
The O.B.B.O., 151st Amsterdam holla at your boy
A.K. Jackie Rob, All my niggaz in Harlem
Get your hustle on
Keep your muzzle strong
I know about the Block
