Hβ’Aβ’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
The lyrics of βH.A.Mβ by Jay Z and Kanye West give the impression that the two rappers are in a celebratory mood, depicting their success and skill in the music industry. The opening line, βIt was all good just a week ago, n----s feel theyself,β suggests that the duo feels confident in their abilities and accomplishments, and are content with their current status. However, the next line, βAnd then Watch The Throne drop, n----s kill theyself,β hints at the idea that their recent album, Watch The Throne, has caused other artists in the industry to feel threatened or inferior.
The following verses further emphasize this idea, with Jay Z bragging about his wealth and success, and implying that other rappers should not even attempt to compete with him, as they will inevitably fail. He also references the struggles he has faced throughout his life, such as his nephewβs death and his uncleβs murder, and implies that his wealth and success are a result of his hard work and perseverance. Kanye Westβs verse, on the other hand, emphasizes the idea that he is not only successful, but also innovative and unique. He mentions his experimentation with different genres of music, his passion for high-end fashion, and his willingness to take risks and break boundaries.
Overall, the lyrics of βH.A.Mβ paint a picture of two successful, confident, and powerful artists who are proud of their accomplishments and are not afraid to flaunt their success. However, the lyrics also hint at the idea that other artists in the industry feel threatened by their success, and that they see themselves as unmatched and unbeatable.
