Cam'ron - Sports, Drugs And Entertainment

Uh-huh, yeah

This goes to all my hustlers, entertainers
(Uh-huh, yeah)
And of course, athletes in the struggle, tryna make a little hustle
Yo-yo, yo, yo

Some get a little, and some get none
Shit, I was part of the some get none (uh-huh, yeah)
The ball, run for run, play the slums for crumbs
Wired, real tired, 'til my lungs are done
After all, I was nice in ball
But I'd come to practice weed-scented (uh-huh, yeah)
Report card like the speed limit, 55-55 expellable
If you're nice, they make sure that you eligible
Pretty final, '92 played the city finals
Pretty swift, real MVP, and 55th, I can hoop, yo (uh-huh, yeah)
All-American in my age group, yo
Grades bad, settled for a JuCo
Uh, but why they let a thug on campus
All I did was rob and mug on campus
Sliced, rolled dice, got shiest on campus
Had the toast got bagged, paid the price on campus
Forgot about ball, I was done duke
Now I'm in county in an orange jumpsuit, middle of Texas
Call moms, she don't want the phone
That she don't condone and, "Cam don't come home", shit

'Cause the streets is a short stop
Either you slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot (uh-huh, yeah)
'Cause the streets is a short stop
Either you slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot
'Cause the streets is a short stop
Either you slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot (uh-huh, yeah)
'Cause the streets is a short stop
Either you slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot

Yo, yo, ayo, coming back home, I thought it'd be cool
But everybody like, "Cam, yo I thought you're in school" (uh-huh, yeah)
"Nah, I'm about to go back", huh, know that I'm lyin'
See me on Broadway, know what I'm buyin'
Niggas gettin' money, know what I'm eyin'
Shiesty again, nowhere without iron (uh-huh, yeah)
Seems like my school life self-destroyed
Fuck gettin' a job bitch, self-employed
Slugs pop, drug spot, runnin' the thing
Played ball on the weekend, 300 a game (uh-huh, yeah)
'Til one of the workers pulled a small case
Mouth running like a dog race, tryna get us all laced
I was slingin', but wasn't the kingpin
A slow casing, verdict, probation (uh-huh, yeah)
Tried to fuck my P.O., she ignored that
Said, "Know what Cam? Get found with more crack, see what happen"
Stopped the crackin', started rappin', quit the clappin' (uh-huh, yeah)

'Cause the streets is a short stop
Either you slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot
'Cause the streets is a short stop
Either you slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot (uh-huh, yeah)
'Cause the streets is a short stop
Either you slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot
'Cause the streets is a short stop
Either you slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot (uh-huh, yeah)

Yo, yo, as a young nigga, always into crime
But no matter what, yo, always used to rhyme
So in that I became more curious
Fuck being up north delirious, more serious (uh-huh, yeah)
Uh, so Killa did mixtapes
CEOs heard, now here come big cake
But one cat said Cam you better recoup
Before you back on your block, baby, dead on the stoop (uh-huh, yeah)
But Un hooked me up with all this cheddar and loot
The best rap deal of all time next to Snoop
Money more to clutch, money more to touch
I don't just rhyme, I own liquor stores and such, but yeah (uh-huh, yeah)
Yo, the rap game remind me of the crack game
Niggas wanna get they gun, then start the clap game
For that fame, roll with Untertainment
Sport, drugs, entertainment, 'til the arraignment (uh-huh, yeah)
Killa

'Cause the streets is a short stop
Either you slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot
'Cause the streets is a short stop
Either you slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot (uh-huh, yeah)
'Cause the streets is a short stop
Either you slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot
'Cause the streets is a short stop
Either you slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot (uh-huh, yeah)

That's how it go on my block, mad props, let off mad shots
All my peoples out there tryin' it
Just a product of they environment, Killa (uh-huh, yeah)
Sports, drugs, entertainment, 'til the arraignment

Uh-huh, yeah
