== Lyrics ==
<pre>Can't touch this
Can't touch this

My, my, my music hits me so hard
Makes me say "Oh, my Lord"
Thank you for blessing 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 Oak town
And I'm known as such
And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch

I told you, homeboy
(You can't touch this)
Yo, let me bust the funky lyrics
(You can't touch this)

Fresh new kicks, and pants
You gotta like that, now you know you wanna dance
So move, outta your 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 going' on
Like that, like that

Cold on a mission so fall them back
Let 'em know, that you're too much
And this is a beat, uh, they can't touch

Look, man
(You can't touch this)
Ring the bell, school's back in
Break it down

Stop, Hammer time

Every time you see me
The Hammer's just so hype
I'm dope on the floor and I'm magic on the mic

Now why would I ever stop doing 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)
Too hype, can't touch this
Get way outta here, you can't touch this</pre>
