Ball Drop
French Montana & Fabolous Lyrics

Well in just about 15 seconds from now, it'll be 1990
The clock is about to strike midnight and usher in a new year

We're gathered down below as we say goodbye to 1989
People are assembled in Times Square to mark the end of the year

The ball is moving, the crowd sees it, you can hear 'em.
The ball used to mark the new year is descending and the excited crowd is eagerly watching

Oh can you ever hear 'em.
The noise from the crowd is deafening

They know when it hits the bottom it'll be 1990, goodbye to the 80's
The crowd is aware that when the ball drops, it will mark the end of the 80's and the beginning of a new decade

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
The crowd is counting down the seconds to the new year

Happy New Year!
The new year has arrived, and people are wishing each other happiness and joy

When that hate don't work they start telling lies
If someone's attempt to bring someone down through hate doesn't work, they resort to lying

Baby work, go on bust it wide
Encouraging someone to dance/go wild/work hard and be successful

It's that new money, let the drawers drop
Celebrating newfound wealth and telling someone to strip down and show off

I cut my bitch off when the ball drop
When the clock strikes midnight, it's time to leave behind negative relationships

Hating hoes ain't happy
People who spread hate aren't happy themselves

And happy hoes ain't hatin'
People who are happy don't spread hate

Better check the situation
Assess the current situation to avoid negative outcomes

I could fix your situation
I have the ability to fix your situation

New year, new money, then the call dropped
Ushering in the new year with newly acquired wealth and getting rid of negative people in one's life

'Cause them real niggas ain't haters
Real people don't spread hate

And them hatin' niggas ain't real
People who spread hate are not genuine

No top, smokin' medication
Someone smoking without a roof, likely marijuana

This the new year resolution
Making a resolution for the new year

We gotta be the winners cause the rest is losin'
The only way to succeed is to win, as everyone else is losing

I told em get money, that's the best solution
Encouraging people to acquire wealth as it's the best solution to problems

When you do, wear your rocket like you rest in Houston
When you have money, wear your Rolex like those from Houston wear it

When niggas stole my style, I ain't stress the boostin'
When someone stole my style, I didn't stress the imitators

My old bitch on death row, it's time for execution
It's time to end a bad/exhausting relationship

My new bitch is bad ass, she the best since Boosie
My new partner is amazing

Young boy, hard head in the soft top
A stubborn young man driving a convertible

'Cause when them shots ain't ringin', you can't call shots
When there are no fights/disputes, nobody can control the situation

Might be the next Mike Brown where you rollin' at
Suggesting that violent incidents might occur anytime, anywhere

Niggas scared to play it like jail or Richard Mellor
People are afraid to take risks

I hope I never Tom Heller, God
Expressing a desire never to be cheated/betrayed

Scramble like a dope fiend (dope fiend)
Scrambling like someone addicted to drugs when faced with a difficult situation

Keep your head up like your nose bleedin'
Encouraging people to stay strong and not show weakness

My right hand got 30 on his left arm
My friend has a gun tattooed on his left arm

On that left lane nigga, what a bitch for?
Asking why someone is driving slow in the left lane

Ridin' with my woes til' the casket drop
Sticking with close friends until the end of life

Quiet 'fore you suckas hear a pin drop
Asking for silence so that everyone can listen carefully and avoid trouble

I buy this mother fucker like the price drop
Expressing wealth and buying anything one desires

Shawty bag it up, let that ass drop
Asking someone to take off their clothes and show off for money

Mommy killin' em, tat tear drop
Describing a woman with a tattoo of a tear, signifying that she's dangerous

Bitch I'm on fire, need to stop drop
Confident about one's success and talents

Nigga this the flow that got your artist dropped
Boasting about one's success as a rapper

Heard he was a rat, heard he dime dropped
Heard someone snitched/revealed information for money

Hit em in the head, watch the body drop
Threatening violence and the consequences it brings

Dollars coming down like rain drops
Making a lot of money

New year, new money, nigga ball drop
Celebrating newfound wealth in the new year
