[Featuring Bun be Of UGK]

[EightBall]

Check 1 2

Check 1 2 baby yeah uh
1 2 1 2 microphone check 2

somebody better tells these mothafuckers how we wreck fools

Disrespect fools

Check and snap necks too

Chrushin' duos

Sittin' waitin' on the next 2

Nigga me and Bun got the extra clips and bullet proofs

Gone off illegal shit bustin' out the sunroofs

Scatterin' niggaz chatterin'

About where they been

Where they from, why they hate me, and relate me with

Stereotipical, down South country shit

On the real, we on the hustlin' makin' money shit

It's EightBizall makin' nigga feel Memphis, Tenn

Makin' hip-hop, funky as a chit-a-lin

Bitter men, mad, thinkin' that they better men

Knockin' at the Suave House door, but we won't let 'em in

Hoes and niggaz, got a lot of shit to talk about

Runnin' your mouth, can get you dead, deep down South

Chorus:

[EightBall]

I don't know where ya been,

And I don't know what ya seen

But I know deep down South,

It's all about the green

[Bun]

Now, I don't know what ya seen,

And I don't know where ya been

But I know deep down South, ya keep your G-you-N

[EightBall]

I don't know what you've done,

And I don't know what you do

But I know deep down South

Nigga, it's all on you

[Bun]

Now, I don't know what you do

An I know what you've done

But we can't tell ya 'bout nobody else,

But Ball and Bun

[Bun]

I see no evil,

Say no evil,

Hear no evil,

Try not to get in no evils

Raised up on Briz and Biz Bo-wevils

Ain't no sequels for your people when we touch down

South gon' put that crush down

Nigga lay your philly, and you'll touch down

Takin' that shit so much clown

Don't even sound real no mo'

Your cap'll get peeled, slo-mo

Fuck you and that steel .44

I'm triz, oh hoe

Pay your dumbasses no nevermind

Flip flows, so clever shine

Like diamond grapes on leather vines

Forever I regard it

As the first fool that started

Movin' gassed up niggaz till they farted

Hands, black hearted, cold

Get retarded

Like slingblade, it bring made niggaz

I played niggaz

Still want to see a thing fade niggaz

I stay niggaz

That is the fight, what you believe

Give you life room to breathe

But tonights the night for you to leave

As soon as sleep

Ain't got, no tricks up,

Your still get mixed up

From Southern black macks

That stay gettin' they dicked sucked

Chorus

[EightBall]

Crooked as the first letter in the word South

Niggaz who be 'bout gettin' paid, even when it's a drought

Fuckin' some stout, smokin' out

At my nigga house

98 live, side bet and gettin' screwed out

Screwed up, drinkin' my cup

Grippin' my nuts

Hoes be jockin', but eager niggaz get setup

Wet up, fucked up, what's up?

Test us, guess what?

True but, you just, messed up

Deeper, than encyclopedia Britanica

If Ball don't do it, then Bun-be gonna handle ya

[Bun]

To all you Betty Crocker,

Cock knockers that want to cook a cake

But don't know what it took to make that bitch,

Take a look you fake

And switch your recipe

Niggaz always takin' tests of me

Pressin' me, just to see the stress and hate

Bring the best of me

Leave your mouth open, sesame seed

I separate from stem and weed

Me, I go, murder

Murder them in deep blood clot

They get all red hot from lead shots

And what not

Mine, I go dead after red dot

And buckshot,

So bitch niggaz get the fuck out

Leave suckas stuck, fuck props

This where the buck stops

Chorus

[EightBall Talking]

Yeah, Euphoric images

Psycadelic gangsta shit

This is fuckin' groovy man

I'll be back

Overall Meaning

In "Ball and Bun," EightBall collaborates with Bun B from the hip-hop duo UGK for a track that celebrates southern hip-hop and the culture that surrounds it. The lyrics describe how they crush opponents and disrespect fools, and showcase their talents as rappers. The South is also discussed, including the stereotypes and prejudices that come with it. Despite this, EightBall and Bun B continue to make their mark and hustle hard to make money while staying true to their southern roots.


The chorus repeats variations of the phrase "I don't know where you've been, I don't know what you've seen, but I know deep down South it's all about the green," indicating that in the South, it's all about making money and hustling. The verses reinforce this message, with Bun B proclaiming "Leave your mouth open, sesame seed, I separate from stem and weed," referring to the idea of separating from the weak to rise to the top.


Overall, "Ball and Bun" is a celebration of southern hip-hop and all its elements, including the culture, the music, and the hustle. As the lyrics repeat in the chorus, the focus is on the green and making money, but in doing so, EightBall and Bun B showcase their talents as rappers from the South.

@BijhanZ99

8 ball's lost album is the best kept rap secret... this is what raps supposed to be top 5 rap album of the 90's or anytime period!

@joshuawadley2052

I agree ☝️

@tyrowden473

Had never heard it before and I found it on vinyl at a record store, one of my favorite rap albums ever.

@fcukyou2_

@@tyrowden473 was it an original pressing? Would love to have that...

These 2 guys especially dont get the respect they deserve..same goes for their respected groups, they dont get the respect as groups like they should either imo...if you only heard Buns verses from songs on the radio you prob heard the worse bun B verses that he's written ...and it's too bad ball and G didn't really make radio music, well ugk too for that matter bc that's why they don't get the respect..you have to be a true fan of southern hip-hop, and not just rap music in general to really understand the influence these 2 guys and their groups have had..
