H.A.M
Jay-Z / Kanye West Lyrics

It was all good just a week ago
Things were going well until recently

Niggas feel they selves
People are becoming overconfident

And then Watch The Throne drop
The release of the collaboration album by Jay-Z and Kanye West

Niggas kill they selves
People are becoming overly competitive

What niggas gon' do Hov?
Asking Jay-Z what to do next

This a new crack on a new stove
This is a new product with high demand

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

Niggas tellin' me "You back" (you back)
People are recognizing my success

Like a nigga ever left up out this bitch, huh?
As if I ever stopped succeeding

And if life a bitch suck my dick huh?
If life is difficult, I'll deal with it

And I bet she fucked the whole clique, huh
Referring to the many people who want to be a part of his success

By the way nigga, you should fuckin' quit, nigga
You should give up trying to compete with me

Just forget it, you talk it, I live it
Stop talking about it and let my actions speak for me

Like Eli I did it, jokes on you mothafucker and I get it
I succeeded like Eli Manning in the Super Bowl and I'm laughing at those who doubted me

No paper hoe, but you can have some more of me
I may not have money to give, but I can give my time and energy

Or-gy, or are we, speakin' metaphorically
I'm not literally offering an orgy, it's a metaphor

Historically, I'm kickin' bitches out like Pam nigga
I have a history of success and I will continue to remove those who don't contribute positively

Goin' HAM nigga, me and Jigga
Going hard as a motherfucker with Jay-Z

And a nigga still young, wanna have no kids
I'm still young and not ready to settle down with a family

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

Had a few white girls, asses flat a shit
I've had sex with some white girls with no butt

But the head so good, damn a nigga glad he hit
Although their bodies may not be great, their oral sex skills are top notch

Got 'em jumpin' out the building
My skills are so good that they're jumping out of excitement

Watch out below, a million out the door
There's a lot of money to be made from this

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

Y'all don't even know what I've been through
You don't understand what I've experienced

I play chicken with a Mack truck
I take big risks

Y'all mothafuckers woulda been moved
You wouldn't be able to handle it

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

Y'all mothafuckers woulda been chewed
Again, you wouldn't be able to handle it

I hustle with vultures late nights
I work with unscrupulous people

Y'all mothafuckers woulda been food
You wouldn't be able to handle it

Fuck wrong with these dudes
What is wrong with these guys?

Try to walk around in these shoes
Try to understand what I have gone through

See the shit I saw growing up
Witness the difficult experiences I had as a child

And maybe you can take a peek at these boo's
Maybe then you'll understand why I am the way I am

Niggas fantasize about the shit that I do daily like
People dream about doing what I do on a regular basis

These rappers rap about all the shit that I do really
Other rappers talk about doing what I actually achieve

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

Really you got baby money
Comparing another's wealth to that of a child

Keep it real with niggas
Be honest with yourself and others

Niggas ain't got my lady money
Other people don't have the same amount of money as my wife

Watch the Throne don't step on our road
Don't compete with us in our lane

Bad enough we let you step on our globe
We've allowed you to have some success globally

When my nephew died, daddy dead
Referring to the death of a family member

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

Nobody called the cops as my uncle bled
No one tried to help when his uncle was dying

So I feel like I would like to know my uncles bread
He wants to know the true story behind his uncle's death

Bow down, brother pay homage
Respect me and show admiration

Don't spill hate all on my garments
Don't say negative things about me

Commes Des Garcon, fuck your fresh
Disregarding another's style or fashion choices

Head shots nigga fuck your vests
Aiming for the head instead of the body armor

Fuck the pig, no pork on my fork
Not eating pork or supporting the police

Peace God 'cause you know a nigga just went Ham
Acknowledging the difficult journey and success that was achieved
