Hungry Ham
A$AP Ferg Lyrics

See this is Harlem, these our streets
We are currently in the neighborhood of Harlem, and these streets belong to us.

Hungry Ham, that's all we eatin'
We only know and consume Hungry Ham, which symbolizes our way of life.

Them niggas out here shining, niggas out here dying
People are either succeeding or dying in this neighborhood.

'Cause we never got along
We never really agreed on anything, hence the division in the community.

We all go getters, we go get it
We are all hard workers and achieve what we set our sights on.

Some gon' fake it, half won't make it
Some of us will pretend we're succeeding, but half won't actually succeed.

Get a chance to make it out, we taking it
If we are presented with an opportunity to leave this neighborhood and improve our lives, we'll take it.

Block, Hungry Ham
Hungry Ham is our block.

'Cause that's my block, Hungry Ham
I claim Hungry Ham as my own block.

Nigga what's your block? Hungry Ham
I ask others what their block is, implying that they should claim Hungry Ham as theirs as well.

Grandma used to call me Mickey Mouse but I'm no rat
My grandmother used to call me a funny nickname, but I don't act like a snitch.

On the block they threw a couple bullets, Warren Sapp
People on the block threw bullets, similar to how Warren Sapp throws a football.

Seen my nigga's family members buggin' off the crack
I've witnessed the loved ones of my friends struggling with drug addiction.

Your uncle smell like shit like he got garbage in his ass
Your uncle has a terrible smell, like he's been carrying garbage in his rectum.

I'm from 143rd, I come from Hungry Ham, ya heard?
I am from 143rd Street, specifically from the neighborhood of Hungry Ham.

Where the pigs'll lay you down and make a nigga bite the curb
In Hungry Ham, police will force you to lie on the ground and kneel on the curb with your mouth open.

Them kids is poppin' Percs because they claim it cool they nerves
Young people are taking Percocet pills to calm their nerves because it is fashionable.

My crazy ass neighbors sprinkle HOO-HOO-HOO
My neighbors are insane or eccentric, as evidenced by their sprinkling of some unknown substance.

Street name was Stirrin', smell like shit, vomit, urine
The street I used to live on was named Stirrin', and had a foul, unpleasant odor.

When my bitches come over they have the look of concerning
When my female acquaintances come over, they have a worried expression on their faces.

Like why he stand in the hallway with a milk carton and be lurking?
They wonder why I'm standing in the hallway holding a milk carton and looking suspicious.

Why he jumping for joy when the whole building was just burning?
They are curious why I seemed happy when the building was burning down.

What about that nigga's sash? Wore the socks on his hands
Why is that guy wearing a sash and socks on his hands?

Purple coats in the summer, with the Glock in his pants
The person mentioned earlier is wearing a purple jacket in the summer and has a gun in his pants.

And he stabbed his own mama, how you do that to your fam?
This same person stabbed his own mother, which is a terrible thing to do to one's family.

'Cause my block full of lunatics, call my shit Hungry Ham
My neighborhood is full of strange people, which is why I refer to it as Hungry Ham.

Nigga fuck your block, Hungry Ham
I don't care about your neighborhood, only about Hungry Ham.

Better wear your Glock, Hungry Ham
If you're going to be in Hungry Ham, it's best to have a gun for protection.

My auntie ask my mama, "did Darold quit his job?"
My aunt is asking my mother if I quit my job.

She observed me sitting on a car for three days straight.

My mama screaming, "Darold, c'mon, you ain't quit yo job!"
My mother is shouting at me, insisting that I didn't really quit my job.

Mama yes I did (Darold!)
I'm telling her that I did, in fact, quit my job.

My mama barking like doggies
My mother is shouting loudly and repeatedly like a dog.

In front of my aunt and my shorty
She's doing this in front of my aunt and significant other.

I tell her, "I am a rapper" she suck her teeth and ignore me
When I tell her that I'm a rapper, she doesn't believe me and ignores me.

All she notices is my gold teeth, a white woman, and some 40-ounce beers.

I'm getting fame on computers, she don't think this shit is for me

I used to pray for more women, now I get dozens of oldies

When I be hittin' it doggie, she bark like HOO-HOO-HOO (Oh my, I'm horny!)

Only when you want sex you callin' me

Tellin' me how much you want me
You express how much you desire me during these instances.

But I think you're full of baloney
Personally, I believe that you are lying and not being truthful.

I ain't stressin' you shorty, my shorty be stressin' me, shorty
I'm not worried about you, but my significant other stresses me out all the time.

Claimin' I'm messin' with shorties and be undressin' them shorties
My significant other accuses me of cheating with younger women and undressing them.

I ain't get no head from them shorties
I didn't receive any oral sex from those women.

Don't be in the bed with them shorties
I haven't even slept with those women in a bed.

Now what these condoms for?
Now, what am I supposed to use these condoms for?

And please don't say these Magnums is for me
Don't tell me that these Magnums are for me.

I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm from Hungry Ham, y'all ought to know

Better get your ass another plan if you want to blow

Can't play this corner for no more summers if you get my flow
If you truly understand what I'm saying, you'll realize that you can't stay on this street corner for too many more summers.

We catching meat, but y'all niggas is buns, HOO-HOO-HOO
We're trying to make something out of ourselves, but the rest of you aren't doing anything productive.

Papi, why you throwing things? Hungry Ham
