Origin/Meaning: Midnight Hammer took its name from the Trump administration government operation in Iran in June 2025, as a way to reclaim it and redefine it for the disaster that it was.
In June 2025, Donald Trump used the American military to intimidate and attack Iran by bombing some of their nuclear facilities with a new weapon known as "bunker buster" bombs. Edged Out Records label founder Mattske produced the only actual analysis of these strikes shortly after they were declared to have caused "total obliteration," but Mattske determined that was a lie based on OSINT information, physics principles, and accounts of pilot statements about the event.
The band took this name and used it inspired by how Operation Ivy did that with a government project.
Midnight Hammer's music is a throwback to classic third wave punk, with incredible rap flow and modern production.

The Two Weeks War
All hype. I got it. On sight.
They got drones all locked on sight.
Trackin' all the flights and plans.
Took your money: sleight of hand.
If loose lips sink ships, drink this.
You got loose hips. Pink lips.
Getting healed by a witch doctor.
Gettin' over the stigmata.
On your mark. Get set.
They said, "The plan is go" on the headset.
Stealin' land grabbin' a head dress.
Protestors all gettin' death threats.
On your mark. Get set.
Go.
On your mark. Get set.
No.
You keep state secrets with you.
Holding me hostage for what I won't do.
If you were in my shoes, you'd give up
playing punk rock to sing the blues.
You still got questions to ask me.
Like how are my songs so catchy?
Go on and frame another patsy.
You sig heil, I'm just hailin' a taxi.
On your mark. Get set.
They said, "The plan is go" on the headset.
Stealin' land grabbin' a head dress.
Protestors all gettin' death threats.
On your mark. Get set.
Go.
On your mark. Get set.
No.
Signing peace treaties ain't so hard
You plan to break em 'from the start.
Kept me in the dark. Takin' it too far.
Left me like an empty glass at the bar.
Their evidence is good looking.
Trick you into war footing.
Showing your fangs. Cutting your bangs.
Send in the tanks. Go out with a bang.
On your mark. Get set.
They said, "The plan is go" on the headset.
Stealin' land grabbin' a head dress.
Protestors all gettin' death threats.
On your mark. Get set.
Go.
On your mark. Get set.
No.
On your mark. Get set.
They said, "The plan is go" on the headset.
Stealin' land grabbin' a head dress.
Protestors all gettin' death threats.
On your mark. Get set.
Go.
On your mark. Get set.
No.
They think they fuckin' with a pacifist.
Just cuz I'm publishing a manuscript.
They never read Mussolini as it is
so they don't know what a fascist is.
I got redacted. You don't know why.
You don't know why. So you fight.
You only think I'm wrong
cause you must be right.
I got redacted. You don't know why.
You don't know why. So you fight.
You only think I'm wrong
cause you must be right.
Obsessed with trending topics.
Paperwork is pending process.
Mentalist I'm bending objects.
Cowards so they're sending cops in.
Waste your breath defending Congress.
While they're pretending to be honest.
How are you accepting this bullshit?
They're not amending, the bill's thin.
I got redacted. You don't know why.
You don't know why. So you fight.
You only think I'm wrong
cause you must be right.
I got redacted. You don't know why.
You don't know why. So you fight.
You only think I'm wrong

Society is becoming
more cashless.
Human capital is fiat
unlike cash is.
I got redacted. You don't know why.
You don't know why. So you fight.

cause you must be right.

Gate keepers are not a savior.
I'm gettin' in one way or another.
You got political party favors.
I got my bolt cutters.
Break the fence. Open up.
Nothing's perfect but it's close enough.
Pop the lock. What's good with you?
Pop & lock, let's rock like boogaloo.
Gate keepers are not a savior.
I'm gettin' in one way or another.
You got political party favors.
I got my bolt cutters.
Bet you didn't know at all.
That there are censors for the writing on the wall.
I don't know what they're called.
But I know they have no balls.
Fuck them, I am going out bombing tonight.
Somebody out here tryna rob me tonight.
I said, "bro I'm not tryna fight."
They didn't say shit they just ran me through the light.
Buffing my loving art of not giving a fuck.
No crew beside me to back my shit up.
It is what it is, my work always gets buffed.
The city pays for new canvas on the first of the month.
Gate keepers are not a savior.
I'm gettin' in one way or another.
You got political party favors.
I got my bolt cutters.
Gate keepers are not a savior.
I'm gettin' in one way or another.
You got political party favors.
I got my bolt cutters.
Freedom has a price and I've paid for mine.
Independence is won one day at a time.
I'm here to remind you if you hate the grind
it doesn't matter cupcake - get in line.
Break the fence. Open up.
Nothing's perfect but it's close enough.
Pop the lock. What's good with you?
Pop & lock, let's rock like boogaloo.
Gate keepers are not a savior.
I'm gettin' in one way or another.
You got political party favors.
I got my bolt cutters.
I got my bolt cutters.
Cut it out.
I got mine.
I got mine.
They don't wanna hear my political takes
I'm too broke for them to keep the faith.
Government lies all the time, you eat it up.
Providing cover, your eyes beat me up.
Open up...
Close shop.
Don't settle for
close enough.
I need things that I can't get.
My whole life is full of regret.
Cash comes slow? I'm selling my shit.
Money gets light? I'm back at the fence.
They work hard tryna make my reality.
Orchestrating another fake tragedy.
New technologies count the casualties.
Effortlessly, reported on so casually.
I need things that I can't get.
My whole life is full of regret.
Cash comes slow? I'm selling my shit.
Money gets light? I'm back at the fence.
Everyone's got an opinion.
They gobble em' up like communion.
Spitting image makes no difference.
No leverage. You're losin.
Open up...
Close shop.
Don't settle for
close enough.
I need things that I can't get.
My whole life is full of regret.
Cash comes slow? I'm selling my shit.
Money gets light? I'm back at the fence.
Falling off?
Falling off?
You think that I'm
falling off?
Pretend your help lets
you off the hook.
Accept the fact this is
all it took.
Fallen off?
No they don't
know what to say.
Call it off? They won't
until they get their way.
Threw me on stage
got a broken leg.
When I look back
that's all I want.
Defending myself against
all these attacks.
Saying things we'll
never take back.
I can't even believe I
never said that
until now...
Until now...
Falling off?
Falling off?
You think that I'm
falling off?
Fallen off?
No they don't
know what to say.
Call it off? They won't
until they get their way.
Threw me on stage
got a broken leg.
When I look back
that's all I want.
Falling off?
Falling off?
You think that I'm
falling off?
Don't push me
I'm close to the ledge.
I never jumped off
you tried acting upset.
How high I might jump
unless you asked.
You think I'm falling off
so I got somethin' for that ass.
Fallen off?
No they don't
know what to say.
Call it off? They won't
until they get their way.

When I look back
that's all I want.
End of story. I'm performing.
You're watching it all happen.
History repeats itself again.
History repeats itself again.
Fallen off?
No they don't
know what to say.
Call it off? They won't
until they get their way.
Threw me on stage
got a broken leg.
When I look back
that's all I want.
I've been climbing
the ranks.
Hate is fuel for me
so thanks.
I hate how we keep running in place.
You stare at your navel, such a waste.
Not debate. I win, in your face.
Now you wanna raise the stakes?
I try to take things case by case.
Your baggage can't fit in a suit case.
Make you eat crow in a souffle.
So, this is how revenge tastes.
How am I doing? What did you say?
I'm okay. I can't complain.
Well I could
but it'd be in vain.
Let me explain something to you.
(let me explain, let me explain)
Let me explain something to you.
I know your every move.
Let me explain something to you.
You say I sound insane to you.
But after everything you did
you think I should thank you?
Through the grape vine's the only
way you hear what I've been doing.
You're not exactly father of the year.
Nobody's perfect. You're only human.
You're a prick. I bleed, and could prove it.
If you keep pushing me I'm gonna lose it.
Push me and push me till I do it.
Then Mom says, "it's so stupid."
How am I doing? What did you say?
I'm okay. I can't complain.
Well I could
but it'd be in vain.
Let me explain something to you.
(let me explain, let me explain)
Let me explain something to you.
I know your every move.
Let me explain something to you.
You say I sound insane to you.
But after everything you did
you think I should thank you?
I'm over this childish nonsense, bored.
You ever wonder what your conquest's for?
When you're on death's door will you want more?
Always getting even but never even the score.
How am I doing? What did you say?
I'm okay. I can't complain.
Well I could
but it'd be in vain.
Let me explain something to you.
(let me explain, let me explain)

I know your every move.

You say I sound insane to you.
But after everything you did
you think I should thank you?
Their pre texts're really sloppy, bruh.
Copy that. I'ma mop em' up.
They told you I'm not the one.
Censoring me with a cover up.
It's a cold war
worldwide conscience
fueling the military
industrial complex.
They tryna keep me underground
so they can see boots on the ground.
You can't bite the hand that feeds
when you're covering your mouth.
The Two Weeks War was so dumb.
Sponsored by Crypto dot com & Coca Cola.
Hey, "it's not over till it's over."
That's why they send in soldiers.

You think they bombed those boats?
Those and not some others, though.
They release fake footage with it.
Inaccurate to say you were a witness.
Try that in court. I'd love to watch that.
Your performances won't stop that.
You think life's a bitch, gone in a hot flash.
The whole time - what I never got back.

Iran & Israel may seem far.
Nuclear winter can't keep you warm.
Faking diplomacy ain't that hard.
The President can't even stop wars he starts.
Out on the water our troops have been scarred.
Veterans benefits ain't gettin' ear marked.
There is no Secretary of War, retards.
That's why I'm spittin' bunker busters in each bar.

What's pop?

What's pop got to do with it?
What's pop?
Every hit song has to include
references to all the pharmaceutical drugs they use.
Every bitch wants the interview
with whatever politician gives them an excuse.
Every itch needs a scratcher.
Every dick sucking hick nothing needs a backer.
Influencers are just bottom feeding lip flappers.
Paid to behave like they're above the chatter.
Nobody gives a fuck, while saying
they hate the other side as loud as they want.
Nobody lives much, while praying
they don't have to spend time looking things up.
We are become debt. Taxed paying back the Fed.
They politely tell you "never ask again."
Vote? When? Maybe the next cycle.
Watching accidental deaths spiral.
What's pop got to do
got to do, got to do with it?
What's pop got to do with it?
What's pop?
Voting blocs got a lotta people into fragmentation.
Personalities split in 2 conversations.
Lexicon gives away their participation.
They had a spirit once and let some one break it.
Had faith in the system but they betrayed it.
Trust? You gave it. Their mind? They changed it.
All we need is O T C medications.
No more proclamations for our emancipation.
I have an infamous reputation.
What are the odds points on polls get shaven?
They they tried catching predators who evaded
capture - under lock and key in Vegas.
District changes won't get you reparations.
Nor will waging war without some declarations.
Enemies all call each other gangster nations.
Taxation continues without the representation.
What's pop got to do
got to do, got to do with it?
What's pop got to do with it?
What's pop?
Poppin' cherries on vulnerable pop acts.
Because the American people want that.
Popcorn flicks and hits go together like
Benjamin Franklin in a storm flying a kite.

That noise.
That noise.
Bitch kill - that noise.
Times they are no longer changing.
Time is still money but no one's saving.
If you don't have the decency to pay me, then
you shutting the fuck up is the main thing.
Bitch kill - that noise.
I don't wanna Netflix and chill in the void.
Bitch kill - that noise.
I don't wanna go out and chill with the boys.
That noise.

The game was too tame
so I'm killing it for you.

Without me...
You got no idea what I'm all about.
To explain it to you would be misleading.
All you ever want is to get even.
All around me. They surround me.
Having these long conversations
about me. Without me.
Without me...
You weren't there in those
dark nights of my soul.
Never believed that I would
reach my goals.
That negativity...
was supposed to stop me
completely.
Completely...
All around me. They surround me.
Having these long conversations
about me. Without me.
Without me...
Without me...

Without me...
Without me...
Their lives are so boring.
Are you recording?
Exactly...
Made a lifetime of progress
the last couple months.
Building up my legacy
not flavors of the month.
Everyone I knew wanted
me to give this up.
But I kept pushing and never
gave a fuck.
All around me. They surround me.
Having these long conversations
about me. Without me.
Without me...
All around me. They surround me.
Having these long conversations

Without me...
Look how far bein' myself

They doubt me. So proudly.
Told em' all stop bein' so mouthy.
All around me. They surround me.
Having these long conversations
about me. Without me.
Without me...
Without me...
Without me...
Without me.
Outside voices can be loud.
We don't fit in the crowd.
We stick together
no matter what now.
She ain't a passenger princess.
She's the queen of my road.
The throne would be lonely.
But I got my one and only.
Outside voices can be loud.
We don't fit in the crowd.
We stick together
no matter what now.
They tried to break us up.
We got shaken up.
But we never gave it up...
We never gave it up....
Capturing today.
Displayed on the mantle.
My queen is so great
she made me king of her castle.
Outside voices can be loud.
We don't fit in the crowd.
We stick together
no matter what now.
We stick together no matter what now.
We stick together no matter what.
We stick together...
Me and my queen.
Take Warning. Start singing that hard.
It blew my mind, they're bringin' back SARS.
Already socially distanced in our backyards.
Civil rights were progressing backwards.
All I got left is to play my cards.
Be a force to be reckoned with force.
The rebellion here ain't that hard.
You don't even have to march.
Crash the markets not your cars.
Don't pay back your credit cards.
Fuck payin' taxes till we starve.
I'm not the martyr that they want.
Crash the markets not your cars.
Don't pay back your credit cards.
Fuck payin' taxes till we starve.
I'm not the martyr that they want.
No Kings was a parade, old guard.
They think working class all carry a card.
Cut my teeth stripping metal at a junk yard.
Elon Musk can go fuck himself on Mars.
My family owes me like a hundred large.
Don't ask, I won't tell you that part.
Student loan debt don't follow bankruptcy.
Trust me my family tried to bankrupt me.
Crash the markets not your cars.
Don't pay back your credit cards.
Fuck payin' taxes till we starve.
I'm here to lead the charge.
Crash the markets not your cars.
Don't pay back your credit cards.
Fuck payin' taxes till we starve.
I'm not the martyr that they want.
Never been invited to their parties.
Their retribution's really gnarly.
To get me you gotta get up early.
They got somethin' for me...
They booked me on site.
Guilty as charged.
All I got left is to play my cards.
Be a force to be reckoned with force.
The rebellion here ain't that hard.
You don't even have to march.
Crash the markets not your cars.
Don't pay back your credit cards.
Fuck payin' taxes till we starve.
I'm here to lead the charge.
Crash the markets not your cars.
Don't pay back your credit cards.
Fuck payin' taxes till we starve.
I'm not the martyr that they want.
You and me keep chasing dreams.
Raising prices, I don't come cheap.
Our hearts can't be sold out, they're
priceless. Just the way we like it.
Can't get enough.
Never give it up.
I am in love with you
I am (I am I am I am I am).
That's the kind of in love with you
I am (I am).
Through every broken sigh.
Every high. Every damn
I am in love with you.
I am.
They tried to shake us up.
Break us up. They failed but
it's us - against the world.
That's our kind of love.
Can't get enough.
Never give it up.
I am in love with you
I am (I am I am I am I am).
That's the kind of in love with you
I am (I am).
Through every broken sigh.
Every high. Every damn
I am in love with you.
I am.
I loved you before I knew how to.
Soft and sweet. Watch your feet.
They'll be lifted off the ground soon.
I don't know what I'd do without you.
Can't get enough.
Never give it up.
I am in love with you
I am (I am I am I am I am).
That's the kind of in love with you
I am (I am).
Through every broken sigh.
Every high. Every damn
I am in love with you.
I am.
Graduation!
Caps and gowns on the ground.
Graduation!
You in the real world now.
I'm all self taught
that's why they hate it.
What's wrong with a little
obfuscation?
Graduation!
Caps and gowns on the ground.
Graduation!
You in the real world now.

School of hard knocks

I got no silver spoon

Caps and gowns on the ground.

You in the real world now.
Graduation!
Caps and gowns on the ground.
Graduation!
You in the real world now.
Whether you will or won't
weather the constant hatred.
All I'm sayin' is you could
use more contemplation.
Everything is hard fought
and then it's wasted.
I guess I don't
know what my place is.
Graduation!
Caps and gowns on the ground.
Graduation!
You in the real world now.
Graduation!
Caps and gowns on the ground.
Graduation!
You in the real world now.
You went from dry up,
to all out on the rocks.
Got dried up
cuz you never stop.
I got the hell out
before you restarted.
Driving like little
piggies to market.
Why are you bitter? Why are you bitter?
What's with all the backstabbing?
Why are you bitter? Why are you bitter?
You're more bitter than a Manhattan.
I tried to take
the keys and designate.
Next time I'll leave first
not hesitate.
Good luck with everything.
Till we meet again if it's fate.
Things soured, like wine from old grapes.
You chose to keep that bitter taste.
Why are you bitter? Why are you bitter?
What's with all the backstabbing?
Why are you bitter? Why are you bitter?
You're more bitter than a Manhattan.
I probably never should have
come back here.
I knew you were gonna
act weird.
Pretend you wanna
try again.
I guess this is
goodbye, then.
Why are you bitter? Why are you bitter?
What's with all the backstabbing?
Why are you bitter? Why are you bitter?
You're more bitter than a Manhattan.
