[Chorus]

You can’t touch this (4X)

 

[Verse 1]

My, my, my, my music hits me so hard

Makes me say, “Oh my Lord”

Thank you for blessin’ me

With a mind to rhyme and two hype feet

It feels good, when you know you’re down

A super dope homeboy from the Oaktown

And I’m known as such

And this is a beat, uh, you can’t touch

 

[Chorus]

I told you, homeboy (You can’t touch this)

Yeah, that’s how we livin’ and ya know (You can’t touch this)

Look in my eyes, man (You can’t touch this)

Yo, let me bust the funky lyrics (You can’t touch this)

 

[Verse 2]

Fresh new kicks, and pants

You gotta like that, now you know you wanna dance

So move outta yo’ seat

And get a fly girl and catch this beat

While it’s rollin’, hold on

Pump a little bit and let ’em know it’s goin’ on

Like that, like that

Cold on a mission, so fall on back

Let ’em know that you’re too much

And this is a beat, uh, they can’t touch

 

[Chorus]

Yo, I told you (You can’t touch this)

Why you standin’ there, man? (You can’t touch this)

Yo, sound the bell, school’s in, sucker (You can’t touch this)

 

[Verse 3]

Give me a song, or rhythm

Makin’ ’em sweat, that’s what I’m givin’ ’em

Now, they know

You talkin’ ’bout the Hammer, you’re talkin’ ’bout a show

That’s hyped and tight

Singers are sweatin’, so pass them a wipe

Or a tape, to learn

What’s it gonna take in the 90’s to burn

The charts? Legit

Either work hard or you might as well quit

 

[Chorus]

That’s word because you know (You can’t touch this)

You can’t touch this

Break it down!

 

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (3X)

Oh, oh, oh, oh—

Stop, Hammer time!

 

[Verse 4]

Go with the flow, it is said

That if you can’t groove to this then you probably are dead

So wave yo’ hands in the air

Bust a few moves, run your fingers through your hair

This is it, for a winner

Dance to this and you’re gonna get thinner

Move, slide your rump

Just for a minute let’s all do the bump

(Bump, bump, bump)

 

[Chorus]

Yeah (You can’t touch this)

Look, man (You can’t touch this)

You better get hype, boy, because you know you can’t (You can’t touch this)

Ring the bell, school’s back in

Break it down!

 

[Post-Chorus]

[Bridge]

(Woah, woah)

(Woah, woah)

Oh, woah

Oh, woah

Oooh

Woah, woah, woah, woah

 

[Chorus]

(Woah, woah, woah, woah)

You can’t touch this

(Woah, woah, woah, woah)

You can’t touch this

(Woah, woah, woah, woah)

You can’t touch this

(Woah, woah, woah, woah)

You can’t touch this

Break it down!

 

[Post-Chorus]

[Verse 5]

Every time you see me, the Hammer’s just so hyped

I’m dope on the floor and I’m magic on the mic

Now why would I ever stop doin’ this?

With others makin’ records that just don’t hit

I’ve toured around the world, from London to the Bay

“It’s Hammer!” “Go Hammer!” “MC Hammer!” “Yo Hammer!”

And the rest can go and play

You can’t touch this

 

[Chorus]

You can’t touch this

You can’t touch this

Yeah (You can’t touch this)

I told you (Can’t touch this)

Too hot (Can’t touch this)

Yo, we outta here (Can’t touch this)
