CHORUS:
Soft and wet
Soft and wet (That's how we like 'em)
Soft and wet (Yo, baby, come here)
Yo, baby, tell me what's your name
They call me Hammer and I'm rows from the game
I see your face, it stands out from the crowd
Move a little bit closer, let me be your style
I'm crazy, baby, I'm crazy about your love
Let me tell about myself
Now, I'm a little bit different than the average Joe
I like my girls and then a little bit more
Excuse me, girl, I don't mean no disrespect
But tell me, girl, are you soft AND wet?
Crazy, baby, I'm crazy about your love
I'm gonna tell you I know how I like 'em

CHORUS:
(I like 'em) Soft and wet
(I like 'em) Soft and wet
Check it out!

BRIDGE:
You say you want me? Well, I want you, too
You say you need me, girl? Then I need you
You say you love me? Well, I love you, too
But there's a few things that we got to do
I'm crazy, baby, I'm crazy about your love
How we like 'em, homeboys?

CHORUS:
Soft and wet
(I told you we like 'em) Soft and wet
Let me explain myself again

(BRIDGE)

CHORUS:
Soft and wet
(How we like 'em in the front?) Soft and wet
(My homeboys in the back, how you like 'em?) Soft and wet
(Pump it up, pump it up, pump it up) Soft and wet
Soft is the feeling of your baby-smooth skin
Wet is the feeling that says, "Let the Hammer in"
Soft and sexy, you got it that way
Wet is what happens when we both start to play
Good she is, I should know
Hype - the feeling when my ninja starts to grow
I feel the thrill of the spin at the wheel
I hit the lottery when she says, "I will"
Crazy, baby, I'm just crazy about your love
You know what I'm saying?
Let me tell you, baby, I love it when you're just

CHORUS:
Soft and wet
(That's how I like 'em) Soft and wet
(I know all the homeboys like 'em like that) Soft and wet
(Pump it up, a little louder now) Soft and wet
Yo, band, break it down! Hit me!
Get wet, baby!

Stanley Kirk Burrell (born 30 March 1962), better known by his stage name MC Hammer, is an American rapper, dancer, entrepreneur, spokesman and occasional actor from Oakland, California. He had his greatest commercial success and popularity from the late 1980s until the late 1990s. Remembered for his rapid rise to fame, Hammer is known for his hit records (such as “U Can’t Touch This” and “2 Legit 2 Quit”), flashy dance movements, choreography and his trademark Hammer pants. Hammer’s superstar-status and entertaining showmanship made him a household name and Hip-Hop icon. He has sold more than fifty million records worldwide.

A multi-award winner, MC Hammer is considered a pioneer and innovator of pop rap, and is the first Hip-Hop artist to achieve diamond status for an album. Hammer was later considered a sellout due in part to overexposure as an entertainer, and as a result of being too “commercial” when Rap was “hardcore”, then his image later becoming increasingly “gritty” to once again adapt to the ever-changing landscape of rap. Burrell became a preacher during the late 1990s with a Christian ministry program called MC Hammer and Friends. Additionally, he starred in a Saturday morning cartoon called Hammerman in 1991 and was executive producer of his own reality show called Hammertime which aired during the summer of 2009. Prior to becoming ordained, Hammer signed to Suge Knight’s Death Row Records in 1995.

Throughout his career, Hammer has managed his own recording business. As a result, he has created and produced his own acts including Oaktown’s 3.5.7, Common Unity, Special Generation, Analise, One Cause One Effect, Teabag, Dom Kimberley, Geeman, DRS, Pleasure Ellis, B Angie B, Stooge Playaz, Ho Frat Hoo! and Wee Wee, among others. A part of additional record labels, he has collaborated and has been associated with 2Pac, Teddy Riley, Felton Pilate, Tha Dogg Pound, The Whole 9, Deion Sanders, and Big Daddy Kane, as well as others.
