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
The lyrics of "H•A•M" by Jay Z and Kanye West showcase their confidence and dominance in the rap industry. The opening lines allude to the success of their collaboration album "Watch The Throne," which resulted in other rappers feeling threatened and experiencing a decline in their own popularity. They question what their competitors will do now that they have come back stronger, comparing their impact to that of a new and addictive drug on the streets.
Jay Z takes the opportunity to assert himself, stating that he never left the game and dismissing those who try to undermine him. He refers to his own success and reputation, drawing parallels between his achievements and that of famous athletes like Eli Manning. Jay Z emphasizes that he lives his lyrics and mocks those who merely talk about their actions. He also boasts about his sexual experiences and the popularity of his music, claiming superiority over his peers.

@waterdrop154
It’s what’s leading many to Hell. It says In the word of God,
“9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 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. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”
I felt Jesus Hug me he’s real! I want to tell you what happened to me when I Literally felt Jesus HUGGING ME! I was Crying so hard I’m my bed and seeking God because I thought that He didn’t love me. I was so INTENSELY hurt and that night I felt His arms wrap around me and He told me “don’t ever feel Like I don’t love you”
This Just happen 3 weeks ago!
I know it’s not by accident your seeing this. you need Jesus and Jesus needs to know You it says that Jesus will profess to many saying “23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
Jesus loves you so much but He wants a relationship with you.
