If I Had a Hammer
S.P. Foundation Lyrics

Better read between the lines
Pay close attention and look for hidden meanings or ulterior motives

Before you reap what you sow
Before you face the consequences of your actions

This song goes out to my weed man no name
Dedicated to the anonymous person who supplies marijuana

Hey I admit I have a heart of gold
I acknowledge that I am a genuinely good person

But people with bad intentions can turn your heat cold
But those with malicious motives can make you feel cold and betrayed

Smiling in your face talking 'bout so and so and so
Pretending to be friendly while gossiping about others

But behind your back, they'll burn you like some hot coals
But when you're not around, they will harm you or betray you severely

Hey I just wanna make music that reaches and touches your soul
I aspire to create music that deeply connects with you emotionally

That's wishful thinking, my friend, you know how that shit goes
That's an idealistic desire, but reality often disappoints

Because there are no refunds in the streets once the deal's done closed
In street transactions, once the deal is sealed, there are no returns or reversals

Yeah, you dig, dig, dig that, get, get, get back
You understand the concept, take it to heart, and use it to your advantage

I am from South Cack, that's a fact
I proudly represent and come from South Carolina

Never been afraid to admit it
I've never hesitated to acknowledge it

But when I mention it, they change the station, stop listening
But when I talk about it, people ignore or avoid it

Because I'm not boasting about how much my wrist is glistening
Because I'm not bragging about my extravagant wealth or material possessions

Talking on the money phone, conversating with Benjamin
Engaging in conversations about money, focusing on financial matters

I got me some bad bitches, I got me some bad bitches
I have attractive and desirable women in my life

Hit the club, fuck it up, you know I got that bag with me
I party hard and confidently, and I always have a stash of money with me

I ain't trippin', get it, get it how you live, pimpin'
I'm not concerned, do whatever it takes to live your life; be the boss of your own destiny

Cye aye aye, do your thing, homie
Carry out your actions and pursue your interests, my friend

Show off your pinky ring, homie
Display your wealth and success, my friend

Because if I had it, I'll do it too
Because if I possessed such wealth or success, I would also flaunt it

I went from having nothing but dreams, couldn't see we poor
I transitioned from a state of poverty where all I had were dreams

To having everything I need that's gonna keep me broke
To now having all the material possessions I require but still being financially struggling

Trying to stay above my snakes, how to keep afloat
Struggling to stay ahead of the deceitful people around me, figuring out how to stay financially stable

Religious leaders on my team that's gonna keep me woke
Having influential and morally grounded individuals with me to keep me spiritually aware and alert

I was napping on the boat before we reach the coast
I was carelessly resting or slacking off on my journey before reaching my destination

Ignoring what my bunker telling me I need to know
Neglecting the important information or warnings my inner voice is trying to convey

The voice sold waiting patiently for my employer to scoop me up sold
Listening attentively, waiting for an opportunity or my boss to recognize and promote me

Now I'm in the field, humming just to ease my soul
Now I'm actively working or pursuing my goals, finding solace or comfort through humming

Crops dead 'cause the motherfuckin' season cold
The crops have failed due to unfavorable circumstances or a harsh environment

How they gonna see me grow?
How will others recognize my progress or development?

But if I had it, I'll do it too
But if I had the opportunity or resources, I would also take advantage of them

Make them fuckers work for me, I ain't gonna work for you
Make those foolish individuals serve me, I won't submit to them

Feed your mind with everything but the fuckin' truth
Fill your mind with various ideas and beliefs, except for the harsh reality

Live the rest of your life feeling uncomfortable
Live a life of constant unease or dissatisfaction
