Cam recounts a “hit” his troubled young charge did for him:

Remember “Money” from across the street? He’s the fellow selling drugs on Cam’s turf…

Well, she goes to see him. She french kisses him and even diddles his ding-dong. While stroking it she coyly inquires if he knows Cam'ron. “Yes,” he tells her. “Well, don’t fuck with his money,” she says. Then she steps back and empties her six-shot revolver into him – an amazing sight to behold

Cam explains why she is so loyal: when she wanted to fix up her act, he helped her with it

Of course, when she wanted a “fix” of drugs, he gave her that, too (where there’s a homophone involved, Cam is happy to oblige)

Cops today are such bastards that they make drug raids on basketball courts and shoot you when you cross their informants. Cam'ron and co. are not daunted by these difficulties – like Harrison Ford trying to find the ark of the covenant in the first Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark

We realize this is all a stretch; your guess is as good as ours

“Lost arc"ing jumpshot?

I used to wear rubber bands on my wrist. It was a habit from comin’ out of hustlin’, that’s just what some of us used to do. I kept doing it in the industry and people used to always ask me why, so I made a song out of it…[the rubber band] definitely represents the struggle

If you anticipate making $20,000, you gonna have eight, nine rubber bands on both wrists.

Styles is implying that Castro controls the cocaine trade through Cuba, and therefore the nation of Cuba profited off of Styles' cocaine-related exploits

This is why I’m always saying that Habitat for Humanity should sell more cocaine
