Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Here comes the Hammer

Yes this is a mission that I'm on
Taking out the weak on the microphone
I'm hype so talk about the hard hitting Hammer
When you came to walk on the stage after me
And if you do your catastrophe happenin's
Just like that out like a mall white to black

Oh oh oh busted

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Naw no is what I say when I came to see a show
I look and it's dead, dead
You know like a body in the ground
Will your show ever grow?

Let me know, if not the gloves come off
'Cause you sure ain't hot

Busted

I don't hesitate or wait before the bell rings I'm out the gate
And rolling out for mine working so hard for such a long time
And life yes it's here and gone so pedal to the Hammer
While I'm watching the floor I'm not a king just filling pipe
You dance to the music while I'm on the mic

Oh oh oh here we go

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Here comes the Hammer

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Let's make it smooth
Let's make it smooth
Let's make it smooth
Let's make it smooth
Busted

Been to a tomb and I'm rolling a whole new style
But the people are holding on too
I move I groove I rap the move is so plain, just plain
Your ego's so big that you miss the whole thing
And dang my crib the people wanted more
Tthat's why the Hammer's in

Oh oh oh yeah

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Let's make it smooth, yeah
Let's make it smooth
Check me out

Move on the floor and get hype
You get get with it and this is your mic
Yeah let 'em know, the cool the hard the fly oh
Their in here and it's pumpin'
Hammer's got the speakers
And you know the bass is bumpin' loud
And low it's about that time, so here we go

Oh oh oh busted

Here comes the Hammer
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Here comes the Hammer

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Let's make it smooth, yeah
Let's make it smooth
Come on let's make it smooth
Let's make it smooth
Busted
