Song: Killa Cam

Artist: Cam'ron

Lyrics

Bird's-eye view
The birds I knew flip birds
Bird gangs, it was birds I flew

Explanation

Plays on birds are frequent in Cam'ron songs. Both here and elsewhere, “bird” can mean:

  1. A house in the hills (“bird’s-eye view”)
  2. Girls (like when British people say it)
  3. A kilo of coke (“flip birds” = sell drugs)
  4. The Diplomats aka the “bird gang” (Cam'ron’s posse’s symbol is a bejeweled eagle)
  5. A Ford Thunderbird automobile
