Cam'ron has so many henchmen (“muscle”) that you might suppose he’s rolling with a dazzling entourage. But being a drug dealer is no glamorama…
Although Cam leaves ambiguity, it seems unlikely that he is selling prescription drugs like Percocet (pain reliever), Demerol (pain reliever) and Paxil (anti-depressant); rather, the pharmacist hustles the hustler and Cam – once the addictor – now finds himself hooked on pills

Mel Mel, Cash and Hell Rell are all friends who have done time: Money Mel was a fellow New York rapper, Cash is Turk Cash Money, Hell Rell is a member of Dipset, and Zeke is short for Freekey Zekey (a member of Dipset and Cam'ron’s cousin)
Zeke served three years in prison for running an ecstasy ring. At the time of the song he was slated to be released in 2007
On ‘07 and 12 cells…? '07 is presumably Zeke’s release date. 12 cells is less clear: Did he stay in 12 different cells while in prison? Do he and Cam need twelve cell phones to elude the authorities? Has he been smuggled in twelve different cell phones?
Lmao no Mel Mel he talking about Mel Murda from Byrdgang. Cash is an associate from the Bronx. And when he said he coming home in 07, with 12 cells he was talking about cellphones. thats why he said “I can’t trust the phones”
