H.A.M
Jay-Z Kanye West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Niggas feel they selves
And then Watch The Throne drop
Niggas kill they selves
What niggas gon' do Hov?
This a new crack on a new stove
I'm in the two-door, true that
Niggas tellin' me "You back" (you back)
And if life a bitch suck my dick huh?
And I bet she fucked the whole clique, huh
By the way nigga, you should fuckin' quit, nigga
Just forget it, you talk it, I live it
Like Eli I did it, jokes on you mothafucker and I get it
No paper hoe, but you can have some more of me
Or-gy, or are we, speakin' metaphorically
Historically, I'm kickin' bitches out like Pam nigga
Goin' HAM nigga, me and Jigga
And a nigga still young, wanna have no kids
But I've been practicing with some actresses as bad as shit
Had a few white girls, asses flat a shit
But the head so good, damn a nigga glad he hit
Got 'em jumpin' out the building
Watch out below, a million out the door
I'm about to go HAM
Hard as a mothafucker let these niggas know who I am
I'm about to go HAM
Hard as a mothafucker let these niggas know who I am
Fuck y'all mad at me for?
Y'all don't even know what I've been through
I play chicken with a Mack truck
Y'all mothafuckers woulda been moved
I swam waters with great whites
Y'all mothafuckers woulda been chewed
I hustle with vultures late nights
Y'all mothafuckers woulda been food
Fuck wrong with these dudes
Try to walk around in these shoes
See the shit I saw growing up
And maybe you can take a peek at these boo's
Niggas fantasize about the shit that I do daily like
These rappers rap about all the shit that I do really
I'm like really half a billi nigga
Really you got baby money
Keep it real with niggas
Niggas ain't got my lady money
Watch the Throne don't step on our road
Bad enough we let you step on our globe
When my nephew died, daddy dead
Niggas took the price on my uncles head
Nobody called the cops as my uncle bled
So I feel like I would like to know my uncles bread
Bow down, brother pay homage
Don't spill hate all on my garments
Commes Des Garcon, fuck your fresh
Head shots nigga fuck your vests
Fuck the pig, no pork on my fork
Peace God 'cause you know a nigga just went Ham
Hard as a mothafucker let these niggas know who I am
Yeah I'm 'bout to go HAM
Hard as a mothafucker let these niggas know who I am
Yeah I'm 'bout to go HAM

I want to know who put the hit on my uncle
Bow down, brother pay homage
Respect me and give me credit
Don't spill hate all on my garments
Don't hate on me publicly
Commes Des Garcon, fuck your fresh
Even your designer clothes don't impress me
Head shots nigga fuck your vests
I'll shoot you in the head, your bulletproof vest doesn't matter
Fuck the pig, no pork on my fork
I won't eat pork and I don't like the police
Peace God 'cause you know a nigga just went Ham
Peace to you all, because I just went hard as a motherfucker

Itβs whatβs leading many to Hell. It says In the word of God,
β9Β If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10Β For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 11Β As the Scriptures tell us, βAnyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.β
I felt Jesus Hug me heβs real! I want to tell you what happened to me when I Literally felt Jesus HUGGING ME! I was Crying so hard Iβm my bed and seeking God because I thought that He didnβt love me. I was so INTENSELY hurt and that night I felt His arms wrap around me and He told me βdonβt ever feel Like I donβt love youβ
This Just happen 3 weeks ago!
I know itβs not by accident your seeing this. you need Jesus and Jesus needs to know You it says that Jesus will profess to many saying β23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.β
Jesus loves you so much but He wants a relationship with you.
