Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
c'mon, baby
c'mon on, c'mon on
Yeah, alright, now
(Chorus)
Ballers flossin' in their rides
[Jhaz]
Another one of these days, early in the morning
I hear you blowin' (Car horn)
Here we come, out the door
Jhaz grab thekeys, already got the blunts
What's up, Arch?
Pass the Windsor, can a sister so smoke with you?
Let me get that back seat to hear them six by nines
Radio on ten, factory speakers about to bust
Master P coverin' up noise from that exhaust
Destination: Gordon Park, steadily smokin' on leaves
Nothin' but the drop six-four's on D's
Bouncin' like a mother, rims sparklin' in sun
Us, we got three hubcaps and a ?
[Brina]
Commence to roll the House of Windors at this red light
Drop-top candy-apple red six-four pulls up to the side
Tight-ass chrome, I swear this playa got wet paint
Turn the system, down, they drownin' out our sounds
Man hittin' switches - watch him floss
Hittin' 3's; let's pull off
There's the store, gotta get some Zinfindel
And ? for the park
(Chorus)
[Jhaz]
They rollin' with a backseat full of speakers
And a trunk full batteries, talk on a cellular on the regular
You can tell when a nigga got cheese
And see this Ford Escort with no brakes
It's pushin' on E, baby, and I'm sick of this
It's a shame what a sister has todeal with all these things
[Brina]
We gotsta kick it, now
Out the car, where my lighter at?
Kickin' back, tape in my pocket
Let me put this in your tape deck
All these ballers flossin'
Doin' pancakes, lookin' lovely
You can ball, AJay, in your trunk, he come off frontin'
Just for ten, thanks for the support
Now we back to the hoop, gotta another tape off
Let's watch these playas act a fool
[Jhaz]
Let's get me up on some Hen
And we can pretend like we sippin' on Don, playa
'Cause we still got to hustle, welfare for cold of poverty
If we gon' smoke this weed
We better push some more or these tapes
It's gettin' dark, they be takin' their shows in
Better hurry before it's too late
Parlay in the heart of Land, just hangin'
'Cause it's summer time
Three deep in the fo' hoopty
All around us, ballers in they rides
(Chorus)
[Brina]
Let's roll to the studio
Arch, we gotsta get some gas, real fast
Seen enough ballers flossin'
Time for us trues to get some cash
One of these days sister's pockets gon' be on swoll
II Tru and AJay gon' have some rides to boss the roads
(Chorus)
[Brina]
'Cause I'm gon' get mine
When I get paid off these here rhymes
[Jhaz]
And you can put that on your family
I'm a put on my trues, we want this tape
Player, recognize II Tru's comin' to get you fools
And these ghetto blues done had us faded too long
And the ballers that's flossin' in they rides
Gon' be bumpin' to our songs
[Brina]
Another Windsor 'fore we part for the night
Blaze it up, Jhaz
Two hits, then you pass
In another year, we gon' be top class playas in this game
We gon' change for them good thangs
Let them floss, 'cause it's all good until we get paid
(Chorus)
The song "Ballers Flossin" by II Tru, is a track about two women, Jhaz and Brina, who are driving around in their hoopties while looking at ballers flossing around in their rides. The song encapsulates the hustle of everyday life and the contrast between the flashy lifestyle of ballers, and the struggles of everyday life. The term "flossin" refers to flaunting, showing off, or being overly flamboyant. The song paints a picture of the women's poverty and their desire to live the dream.
In the first verse, Jhaz and Brina meet up early in the morning to start their day. They get into their car, and Jhaz blares the music out of the car's factory speakers. They smoke some weed and head to Gordon Park. They spot a drop-top candy-apple six-four. In the second verse, they park their hoopty and decide to kick it back. Brina puts a tape in the player and they roll a joint. They see more ballers flossing around, and AJay passes them a CD. They are chilling and talking about their aspirations while also acknowledging that they live in poverty.
In the third verse, they drive off while seeing some more ballers flossing. They are running out of gas, so they roll into a gas station to fill up their tank. They head to the studio with hopes of getting paid for their rhymes, and the song ends with them smoking and talking about their plans to become top-class players in the industry.

Ballers flossin' in their rides
There are rich people showing off with their fancy cars
But we still drivin', drivin', drivin' our hoopties
We are still driving our old, beat-up cars
Another one of these days, early in the morning
This is just like any other day
I hear you blowin' (Car horn)
I hear you honking your car horn
Here we come, out the door
We are leaving the house
What's up, Arch?
What's going on, Arch?
Pass the Windsor, can a sister so smoke with you?
Can I have a cigarette, Arch?
Let me get that back seat to hear them six by nines
Let me sit in the back seat to listen to the loud speakers
Radio on ten, factory speakers about to bust
The radio is turned up all the way and the artists are about to blow out
Master P coverin' up noise from that exhaust
The loud music is drowning out the sound of the car's engine
Destination: Gordon Park, steadily smokin' on leaves
We are going to Gordon Park to smoke marijuana
Nothin' but the drop six-four's on D's
We only see people driving lowrider cars with 64 inch wheels
Bouncin' like a mother, rims sparklin' in sun
The cars are bouncing heavily and the rims are shining in the sunlight
Us, we got three hubcaps and a ?
Our car only has three hubcaps and something is missing
Commence to roll the House of Windors at this red light
Let's roll the cigarettes now that we are stopped at a red traffic light
Drop-top candy-apple red six-four pulls up to the side
A convertible red lowrider car pulls up next to us
Tight-ass chrome, I swear this playa got wet paint
The car has shiny chrome accents and the paint looks wet
Turn the system, down, they drownin' out our sounds
Lower our music, their music is too loud and we can't hear ours
Man hittin' switches - watch him floss
The driver is making the car bounce up and down to show off
Hittin' 3's; let's pull off
He is making the car bounce three times, let's leave
There's the store, gotta get some Zinfindel
We need to buy some Zinfandel wine from the store
And ? for the park
We also need something else for the park
They rollin' with a backseat full of speakers
They have lots of loud speakers in the backseat of their car
And a trunk full batteries, talk on a cellular on the regular
They have lots of car batteries in the trunk, and they often talk on their cell phones
You can tell when a nigga got cheese
You can tell when someone is rich
And see this Ford Escort with no brakes
Look at this Ford Escort that doesn't have any brakes
It's pushin' on E, baby, and I'm sick of this
The car is running on empty and I'm tired of it
It's a shame what a sister has todeal with all these things
It's unfortunate that I have to deal with all these struggles
We gotsta kick it, now
We need to hang out now
Out the car, where my lighter at?
Let's get out of the car and find my lighter
Kickin' back, tape in my pocket
Relaxing, I have a cassette tape in my pocket
Doin' pancakes, lookin' lovely
The car is bouncing up and down smoothly
You can ball, AJay, in your trunk, he come off frontin'
AJay can show off and look rich by putting expensive items in his car trunk
Just for ten, thanks for the support
They sold a cassette tape for ten dollars, thank you for buying it
Now we back to the hoop, gotta another tape off
Now let's go back to playing basketball, I have another cassette tape to sell
Let's watch these playas act a fool
Let's watch these people act crazy and show off
Let's get me up on some Hen
Let's drink some Hennessy cognac
And we can pretend like we sippin' on Don, playa
We can pretend to be drinking Don Perignon champagne
'Cause we still got to hustle, welfare for cold of poverty
We still need to work hard to escape poverty
If we gon' smoke this weed
If we are going to smoke marijuana
We better push some more or these tapes
We need to sell more cassette tapes
It's gettin' dark, they be takin' their shows in
It's getting late, they will be leaving soon
Better hurry before it's too late
We need to hurry before they leave
Parlay in the heart of Land, just hangin'
Let's hang out in the center of town
'Cause it's summer time
Because it is summertime
Three deep in the fo' hoopty
There are three people in the old car
All around us, ballers in they rides
There are rich people with fancy cars all around us
Seen enough ballers flossin'
I have seen enough people showing off with their expensive things
Time for us trues to get some cash
It's time for us real people to make some money
One of these days sister's pockets gon' be on swoll
One of these days I will have lots of money
II Tru and AJay gon' have some rides to boss the roads
I will buy a nice car with the money I make from music
'Cause I'm gon' get mine
I will get what I am owed
When I get paid off these here rhymes
When I start making money from my music
And you can put that on your family
I guarantee it, you can tell your family so
I'm a put on my trues, we want this tape
I will wear my best outfit, we want to sell this cassette tape
Player, recognize II Tru's comin' to get you fools
Be aware, II Tru is going to succeed
And these ghetto blues done had us faded too long
We have been suffering from poverty for too long
And the ballers that's flossin' in they rides
The people showing off with fancy cars
Gon' be bumpin' to our songs
Will be listening to our music
Blaze it up, Jhaz
Light up the marijuana, Jhaz
Two hits, then you pass
Take two puffs and then pass it to someone else
In another year, we gon' be top class playas in this game
In a year, we will be successful and respected in the music industry
We gon' change for them good thangs
We will improve ourselves for good things to happen
Let them floss, 'cause it's all good until we get paid
Let them show off, because once we make money, we will be the ones with the power
