H.A.M
Jay Z and Kanye Lyrics

It was all good just a week ago
Things were going well, but they rapidly became worse

Niggas feel they selves
People are full of themselves and overconfident

And then Watch The Throne drop
The release of the album is an event in itself

Niggas kill they selves
People become self-destructive in the aftermath

What niggas gon' do Hov?
The artist is addressing Jay Z for ideas or guidance

This a new crack on a new stove
The singer has a new form of entertainment

I'm in the two-door, true that
The singer has a flashy car

Niggas tellin' me "You back" (you back)
People are excited that the artist has returned

Like a nigga ever left up out this bitch, huh?
The artist has always been relevant and present

And if life a bitch suck my dick huh?
The artist can handle anything that comes his way

And I bet she fucked the whole clique, huh
The singer is suggesting that his reputation precedes him

By the way nigga, you should fuckin' quit, nigga
The artist is challenging someone to give up or admit defeat

Just forget it, you talk it, I live it
The singer has lived an extravagant lifestyle that others can only dream of

Like Eli I did it, jokes on you mothafucker and I get it
The singer compares himself to a football player and suggests that he has won

No paper hoe, but you can have some more of me
The singer doesn't have money, but people can have more of his time or attention

Or-gy, or are we, speakin' metaphorically
The artist is using sexual language metaphorically

Historically, I'm kickin' bitches out like Pam nigga
The artist has been successful in the past and continues to be

Goin' HAM nigga, me and Jigga
The singer is ready to go all out with Jay Z by his side

And a nigga still young, wanna have no kids
The singer doesn't want to settle down or have children yet

But I've been practicing with some actresses as bad as shit
The artist has been sexually active with attractive women

Had a few white girls, asses flat a shit
The artist has had sexual encounters with white women with small butts

But the head so good, damn a nigga glad he hit
The artist enjoyed receiving oral sex

Got 'em jumpin' out the building
The singer is powerful and influential enough to affect other people's actions

Watch out below, a million out the door
The artist is throwing money around and people are desperate to get it

Fuck y'all mad at me for?
The singer does not understand why people are angry with him

Y'all don't even know what I've been through
The singer has gone through difficult experiences that others might not understand

I play chicken with a Mack truck
The singer takes dangerous risks

Y'all mothafuckers woulda been moved
Other people would have been too scared to do what the artist has done

I swam waters with great whites
The artist has faced serious danger

Y'all mothafuckers woulda been chewed
Others would not have survived the same experience

I hustle with vultures late nights
The singer has had to hustle and compete with others who are also trying to find success

Y'all mothafuckers woulda been food
Others would not have been able to compete with the artist

Fuck wrong with these dudes
The artist does not understand why others behave the way they do

Try to walk around in these shoes
Others would not be able to handle the artist's lifestyle

See the shit I saw growing up
The singer has had a difficult childhood

And maybe you can take a peek at these boo's
The artist is allowing others to see his past experiences

Niggas fantasize about the shit that I do daily like
Others dream of having the same lifestyle as the singer

These rappers rap about all the shit that I do really
Other rappers talk about their experiences, but the singer actually lives it

I'm like really half a billi nigga
The singer is worth a lot of money

Really you got baby money
Other people do not have as much money as the artist

Keep it real with niggas
Others should be honest with themselves and not try to pretend to be someone they're not

Niggas ain't got my lady money
Others do not have as much money as the singer's partner

Watch the Throne don't step on our road
No one should try to interfere with the singer and Jay Z's success

Bad enough we let you step on our globe
Others have already intruded upon the artist and Jay Z's territory

When my nephew died, daddy dead
The artist has experienced loss in his family

Niggas took the price on my uncles head
The artist's family has been threatened or targeted

Nobody called the cops as my uncle bled
The singer's family did not receive help when they needed it

So I feel like I would like to know my uncles bread
The artist wants to know what his uncle was worth or what he had accomplished in life

Bow down, brother pay homage
The singer is demanding respect and admiration

Don't spill hate all on my garments
Others should not try to bring the singer down with negativity

Commes Des Garcon, fuck your fresh
The singer will not be swayed by designer clothing or trends

Head shots nigga fuck your vests
The artist is threatening violence against others

Fuck the pig, no pork on my fork
The artist is refusing to eat pork products and disliking the police

Peace God 'cause you know a nigga just went Ham
The singer has gone all out and is now at peace with his actions

Hard as a mothafucker let these niggas know who I am
The singer is asserting his dominance and letting others know his identity

Yeah I'm 'bout to go HAM
The artist is getting ready to go all out and achieve success
