Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm ballin like bitch
(uh-uh-huh) filthy ass rich
Swimming in this money
'Cause I'm ballin' like a - ballin' like a
Ballin' like bitch, b-b-ballin' like bitch, (uh-uh-huh)
Filthy ass rich, swimming in this money
'Cause I'm ballin' like a - b-ballin' like a
Look, bbc hat clean diamond snap hook
Take a picture with it, like it's my last look
Gold mac book, cost $100, 000 g's
I don't fuck with rats, I throw away the cheese
I'm ballin' baby, you see this nigga shine
I'm running shit (cb laughs) finish line
K-mac cook that beat, I eat like it's dinner time
Awards show gimme mine, loud and clear (intercom)
Listen up, I show you how to stunt
Pocket full of money, you should see what's in the trunk
That bass got that bump, that shit that make you jump
Ballin' like I'm bitch, throw it up, slam dunk
V-neck like a quedo, rollin' dice in the casino
Three bad chicks rollin' trips (cee-lo)
What's done is done, ain't no coming back
I'm ballin' like a bitch, roger that, it's breezy baby
Ballin like a bitch, you can't tell me nothin'
'Cause I'm ballin like bitch (uh-uh-huh) filthy ass rich
Swimming in this money cause I'm ballin' like a, b-ballin' like a
I'm ballin' like a bitch, ballin' like a bitch
B-b-b-ballin' like a bitch, watch me do my shit
'Cause I'm ballin' like a bitch, ballin' like a bitch, ballin' like a bitch, watch me take your shit
Uh, snap back, nigga back up in this bitch
Throwing by the $100's watchin' strippers do the splits
Go on hit that flex, I ain't trippin' on the bitches
Probably, 1 out of a 10 in california, I ain't hit
Bitch, I'm raw smell that shit
Hold your jaw up in your lips
Get a silly straw, have a sip
Mo'fuckin' tyga, she ain't met me, then she lying
I pull that rocker out nigga, david and goliath
Melt your fuckin' face boy, like that nigga on the wire
Them niggas washed up need a dryer, dry 'em
Free my brother weezy, now we back up on your tv
I'm rollin' at 250 speedin' me my nigga breezy
Right behind me, range-rove, t-real
Bunch a bad bitches tongue tied and bitches what it do?
It's young money till the death bed
If anything, we the best
Ballin like a bitch, you can't tell me nothin'
'Cause I'm ballin like bitch (uh-uh-huh) filthy ass rich
Swimming in this money cause I'm ballin' like a, b-ballin' like a
I'm ballin' like a bitch, ballin' like a bitch
B-b-b-ballin' like a bitch, watch me do my shit
'Cause I'm ballin' like a bitch, ballin' like a bitch
Ballin' like a bitch, watch me take your shit
The lyrics of Chris Brown & Tyga's song Ballin' convey the theme of their luxurious and extravagant lifestyle. They make it clear that they are wealthy by boasting about their expensive possessions and the amount of money they have. The phrase “ballin' like a bitch” is repeated throughout the song, and it is used to indicate that they are living like rich people who have no worries in the world. The phrase also implies that they are untouchable and no one can question their wealth or lifestyle.
The opening lines of the song, “Ballin' like a bitch, you can't tell me nothin' 'Cause I'm ballin like bitch (uh-uh-huh) filthy ass rich,” sets the tone of the song, which is arrogance and confidence in their wealth. The line “swimming in this money” implies that they have so much money that they are drowning in it. In the second verse, Tyga boasts about owning a diamond-studded baseball cap and a gold Mac Book that cost $100,000. He also says that he doesn't associate with informants or rats, which could be a reference to the streets and gang culture.
Furthermore, the rapper goes on to talk about his flashy lifestyle, award shows, and his skills in stuntin'. He mentions having plenty of money in his pocket and in his trunk, as well as hanging out with three beautiful women at a casino. The last verse talks about wealth, fame, and freedom. This song could be interpreted as an anthem of self-confidence and unapologetic extravagance.
