I keep it all the way honest with you. I just be spitting a lot of those punch lines because. A lot of people tell me that's what they want to hear. And me honestly I feel like I grew out of it. I honestly don't even like rap like I used to. You know? It's real easy to spit 160 bars about nothing. Uh uh uh. Don't hurt 'em Hammer. Uh uh uh. Don't hurt 'em Hammer. [Repeat x8]. Let's get it let's get it. Don't hurt 'em Hammer. [Hook 1]. Told y'all not with the gimmicks I keep it so raw. Hold y'all under contemporaries I blow ya nose off. Most y'all rappers be making me want to dose off. That's why I raised the bar just like the game of pole vault. Hold up look at the game and appreciate it. Stop hating on all the artists while albums even get rated. Tell you to be creative and as soon as you be creative. The same people that say it don't like it they like "I hate it". They make a club song and the minute you do the same. The same people that said it will say "You in need of change". The music is getting lame the people in it the same. The house the car the strip are the only thing in the frame. [Hook 2]. Told y'all not with the gimmicks I keep it so raw. Blow y'all out of the box with a flow that go off. Money and fame done cost me a bunch of road dogs. Gotta keep that iron near me but it ain't no golf. Looking it at the TV I can't believe I'm hearing it. I can't understand ya it's just like your speaking Arabic. In love with rap so I made the mistake and married it. Now I'm feeling like get away from me you embarrassing. iTunes downloads and ringtones tearing it. Into smithereens if you loving music then cherish it. Listening to music that's older than what my parents is. So beautiful like a model think her appearance is. [Hook 3]. Told y'all not with the gimmicks I keep it so raw. Hold up listen to Lil Weezy and Hova. Most of rappers be having funny aromas. Know a player gon' get it like I'm supposed ta. [Repeat x8]. Let's get it let's get it. Don't hurt 'em Hammer. I know I ain't gonna be a rapper forever. And not because I think I'ma fall off or anything. It's because I just don't feel rap I used to man. I remember I used to just wake up in the morning. And I used to look at my pad and it was empty. And I would fill it up with nothing but lyrics. You know what I'm saying? I know a lot of people talk. Like they don't write down their lyrics and they do it all in their head. But me hey I take pride in writing down lyrics man. I used to scratch out everything on the paper. And change the whole rap up until I felt it was perfect. I used to perfect my craft so much and just make each rap. Be the best one that I could possibly make it. And I try so hard to you know. To get back to that feeling I used to have but I just can't you know. I look at a piece of paper now and it just doesn't give me that same feeling it used to. No matter how hard I try people say that the industry will burn you like that. And they say it's mainly because of the pressures in the record industry but. I don't know man I don't know what it is but I just know. The same feeling I used to get from music I just don't get anymore like. I remember the feeling I used to get when I heard them live instruments on Snoop Dogg's Gin & Juice. Or you know when 'Pac was going off on everyone in the industry or. Or when Scarface and 2Pac did a song for the first time. Or the first time I heard UGK's One Day. I was like "Maan" them boys real. Or even when I was bumping that east coast music. And I heard Canibus say a verse on The Firm album he was like. "At a thousand degrees Celsius I make y'all iggans melt. F' my record label I appear courtesy of myself! ". I was like "Maan" hahaha man that boy killed dat. And I even used to be bumping Wu-Tang Clan. I remember Method Man was like you know it um. "I came to bring the pain hard core from the brain". I was like "Man them boy's throwed". And I can't put the blame on nobody. You know I can't just say I don't like music all music. There's a lot of music I like but I just don't like it the way I used to. And that goes for all of it including me. Even when I'm in the studio and I'm behind the mic. It just ain't the same man you know. I like to talk man that's the realest part of everything to me. But I don't get to speak what's on my mind like I am now. Like I do at the awards you know?. I mean I guess life goes on though. Don't hurt 'em Hammer!
