[Intro]
2
I keep it all the way honest with you
3
I just be spitting a lot of those punch lines because
4
A lot of people tell me that's what they want to hear
5
And me, honestly I feel like I grew out of it
6
I honestly don't even like rap like I used to
7
You know? It's real easy to spit 160 bars about nothing
8
Uh, uh, uh
9
Don't hurt 'em Hammer
10
Uh, uh, uh
11
Don't hurt 'em Hammer
12
[Repeat - x8]
13
Let's get it, let's get it
14
Don't hurt 'em Hammer
15
[Hook 1]
16
Told y'all, not with the gimmicks, I keep it so raw
17
Hold y'all, under contemporaries, I blow ya nose off
18
Most y'all, rappers be making me want to dose off
19
That's why I raised the bar just like the game of pole vault
20
[Verse 1]
21
Hold up, look at the game and appreciate it
22
Stop hating on all the artists, while albums even get rated
23
Tell you to be creative, and as soon as you be creative
24
The same people that say it don't like it, they like "I hate it"
25
They make a club song and the minute you do the same
26
The same people that said it, will say "You in need of change"
27
The music is getting lame, the people in it the same
28
The house, the car, the strip, are the only thing in the frame
29
[Hook 2]
30
Told y'all, not with the gimmicks, I keep it so raw
31
Blow y'all, out of the box with a flow that go off
32
Money and fame done cost me a bunch of road dogs
33
Gotta keep that, iron near me but it ain't no golf
34
[Verse 2]
35
Looking it at the TV, I can't believe I'm hearing it
36
I can't understand ya, it's just like your speaking Arabic
37
In love with rap, so I made the mistake and married it
38
Now I'm feeling like, get away from me, you embarrassing
39
iTunes downloads and ringtones tearing it
40
Into smithereens, if you loving music then cherish it
41
Listening to music that's older than what my parents is
42
So beautiful like a model think her appearance is
43
[Hook 3]
44
Told y'all, not with the gimmicks, I keep it so raw
45
Hold up, listen to Lil Weezy and Hova
46
Most of, rappers be having funny aromas
47
Know a, player gon' get it like I'm supposed ta
48
[Repeat - x8]
49
Let's get it, let's get it
50
Don't hurt 'em Hammer
51
[Chamillionaire talking]
52
I know I ain't gonna be a rapper forever
53
And not because I think I'ma fall off or anything
54
It's because, I just don't feel rap I used to man
55
I remember I used to just wake up in the morning
56
And I used to look at my pad, and it was empty
57
And I would fill it up with nothing but lyrics
58
You know what I'm saying? I know a lot of people talk
59
Like they don't write down their lyrics and they do it all in their head
60
But me, hey I take pride in writing down lyrics man
61
I used to scratch out everything on the paper
62
And change the whole rap, up until I felt it was perfect
63
I used to perfect my craft so much and just make each rap
64
Be the best one that I could possibly make it
65
And I try so hard to, you know
66
To get back to that feeling I used to have, but I just can't you know
67
I look at a piece of paper now and it just doesn't give me that same feeling it used to
68
No matter how hard I try, people say that the industry will burn you like that
69
And they say it's mainly because of the pressures in the record industry but
70
I don't know man, I don't know what it is but I just know
71
The same feeling I used to get from music, I just don't get anymore like
72
I remember the feeling I used to get when I heard them live instruments on Snoop Dogg's Gin & Juice
73
Or you know when 'Pac was going off on everyone in the industry or
74
Or when Scarface and 2Pac did a song for the first time
75
Or the first time I heard UGK's One Day
76
I was like "Maaaan", them boys real
77
Or even when I was bumping that east coast music
78
And I heard Canibus say a verse on The Firm album, he was like
79
"At a thousand degrees Celsius I make y'all iggans melt,
80
F' my record label, I appear courtesy of myself!"
81
I was like "Maaaaaaaan" hahaha, man that boy killed dat
82
And I even used to be bumping Wu-Tang Clan
83
I remember Method Man was like, you know it um
84
"I came to bring the pain, hard core from the brain"
85
I was like "Man them boy's throwed"
86
And I can't put the blame on nobody
87
You know I can't just say I don't like music all music
88
There's a lot of music I like, but I just don't like it the way I used to
89
And that goes for all of it, including me
90
Even when I'm in the studio, and I'm behind the mic
91
It just ain't the same man, you know
92
I like to talk man, that's the realest part of everything to me
93
But I don't get to speak what's on my mind like I am now
94
Like I do at the awards, you know?
95
I mean I guess life goes on though
96
Don't hurt 'em Hammer!
