H•A•M
Jay-Z; Kanye West Lyrics

It was all good just a week ago
Things were fine just a week ago

Niggas feel they selves
People are becoming arrogant

And then Watch The Throne drop
The album Watch The Throne was released

Niggas kill they selves
People are self-destructive

What niggas gon' do Hov?
What are people going to do, Jay-Z?

This a new crack on a new stove
This is something fresh and exciting

I'm in the two-door, true that
I'm in a fancy car

Niggas tellin' me "You back" (you back)
People are saying I'm back on top

Like a nigga ever left up out this bitch, huh?
As if I ever really went away, right?

And if life a bitch suck my dick huh?
If life is difficult, I'll face it head-on

And I bet she fucked the whole clique, huh
And I'm sure she's been with everyone in my crew

By the way nigga, you should fuckin' quit, nigga
You should really give up and stop trying

Just forget it, you talk it, I live it
Don't even bother, I'm about action not words

Like Eli I did it, jokes on you mothafucker and I get it
I've achieved success, and it's funny how people doubted me

No paper hoe, but you can have some more of me
I may not have money, but I have plenty to offer

Or-gy, or are we, speakin' metaphorically
I'm not sure if I'm talking about a real orgy or speaking figuratively

Historically, I'm kickin' bitches out like Pam nigga
Throughout history, I've been kicking women out of my life like Pam from Martin

Goin' HAM nigga, me and Jigga
We're going hard as a motherfucker, me and Jay-Z

And a nigga still young, wanna have no kids
I'm still young and don't want any children

But I've been practicing with some actresses as bad as shit
But I've been having sex with some really attractive actresses

Had a few white girls, asses flat a shit
I've been with some white girls who didn't have much of a butt

But the head so good, damn a nigga glad he hit
But the oral sex was so good, I'm glad I slept with them

Got 'em jumpin' out the building
I have such an impact, people are jumping with excitement

Watch out below, a million out the door
I'm making millions of dollars and people need to be careful not to get caught in the excitement

I'm about to go HAM
I'm going to go hard as a motherfucker

Hard as a mothafucker let these niggas know who I am
I'm going to show everyone what I'm made of

Fuck y'all mad at me for?
Why are you all angry with me?

Y'all don't even know what I've been through
You don't even understand the hardships I've faced

I play chicken with a Mack truck
I take risks and put myself in danger

Y'all mothafuckers woulda been moved
You all would have chickened out

I swam waters with great whites
I've faced dangerous situations

Y'all mothafuckers woulda been chewed
You all would have been eaten alive

I hustle with vultures late nights
I work hard with unsavory characters at all hours of the night

Y'all mothafuckers woulda been food
You all would have been taken advantage of and consumed

Fuck wrong with these dudes
What's their problem?

Try to walk around in these shoes
See if you can handle what I've been through

See the shit I saw growing up
You don't know what I've seen as a child

And maybe you can take a peek at these boo's
And maybe you can get a glimpse into my life

Niggas fantasize about the shit that I do daily like
People dream about doing the things I do in my everyday life

These rappers rap about all the shit that I do really
And these other rappers rap about things I actually do

I'm like really half a billi nigga
I'm really worth half a billion dollars

Really you got baby money
Compared to me, your money is nothing

Keep it real with niggas
Be honest with people

Niggas ain't got my lady money
You don't have the same amount of money as my wife and I

Watch the Throne don't step on our road
Don't try to compete with Watch The Throne

Bad enough we let you step on our globe
We're already letting you onto our level

When my nephew died, daddy dead
When my nephew died, it felt like losing a father

Niggas took the price on my uncles head
People put a hit out on my uncle

Nobody called the cops as my uncle bled
No one even bothered to call the police when my uncle was dying

So I feel like I would like to know my uncles bread
So I want to know what my uncle was worth and why anyone would want him dead

Bow down, brother pay homage
Respect me and show me your admiration

Don't spill hate all on my garments
Don't try to drag me down with your negativity

Commes Des Garcon, fuck your fresh
Fuck your fashion sense, I'm wearing Commes Des Garcon

Head shots nigga fuck your vests
I'm a good enough shooter to get a head shot, your vest won't help you

Fuck the pig, no pork on my fork
Fuck the police, I don't eat pork

Peace God 'cause you know a nigga just went Ham
Peace to my fellow men, because I just went hard as a motherfucker
