Ballin
Kevin Gates Lyrics

I'm ballin' ballin' ballin' bitch, don't know what else to call it, shit
I am living the life of luxury and abundance, and there is no other word to describe it but 'ballin'.

All these dollars I brought with me, I fuck around spend all this shit
I have a lot of money with me and I tend to spend it all recklessly.

I started off fucked up, finally got my weight up. Still trying to figure out, what the fuck you hating for?
I used to be in a bad situation, but now that I've gained wealth, I don't understand why people are still treating me poorly.

When I come around it feel just like an appraisal. Independent nigga gettin' it in just like the majors
When I'm present, it feels like I'm being scrutinized or evaluated as if for a loan application, but I'm making money independently, just like the big players.

Counting through the check feel like a nigga turning pages. If you were cool you ain't no more, you've done us both a favor.
Counting my money feels effortless and enjoyable, like flipping through a book, but if you were once with me and are no longer, then that's fine by me.

Eighties baby, grew up on a pistol and a pager. Got a free quarter ounce, I bet a hundred on the Lakers
I was born in the 80s and grew up with guns and beepers. As an adult, I received a gift of a drug and bet a hundred dollars on the Lakers basketball game.

I should say against them, you know I'm riding with the heat. With the karma stole my box Chevy. Box of rubbers, box of swisha sweets.
I should be cheering against the opposing team, but I support the Miami Heat. I stole a car that brought bad luck, and I have condoms and cigar wraps with me.

Still got a bitch that'll get your bitch to leave. Switch up freaks like I swap my whips, that shit ain't real as shit to me.
I have a woman who will steal another woman from her partner. I change partners quickly, just like changing cars, and it's not a big deal to me.

Screech for no reason, saved by the bell. This bitch to the right, pretty face, tall, white, with a smile like Lisa, big booty diva
I get excited for no reason, like the character Screech from the TV show Saved by the Bell. There's an attractive woman beside me with a smile similar to Lisa from the show, and she has a big, curvy butt.

Broke a brick down, meet a banda there and three hundred for the oz of reefer. Twenty five bags of the og kush and the grandaddy perco weakon.
I broke down a large amount of drugs and met with a band to sell them, earning $300 for an ounce of marijuana. I also sold 25 bags of two drug strains, OG Kush and Grandaddy Purple.

Zansa tabs in the air, no slab, but thank god for my peep. On the road doing show after show after show and I still eat good all features.
I have Zansa tabs of drugs with me, but I don't have a scale to measure it. Luckily, I have a friend to help me. Despite being constantly on tour and doing many shows, I make a lot of money and eat well.

Clunking, gold, and tweaking if the streets ain't got no lean. Say they bought like nine fifty for the seal I say I need.
I'm driving a car that is loud, flashy, and slightly modified. If the streets don't have the drug 'lean,' I get restless and agitated. Someone said they paid $950 for a drug seal, but I want it for myself.

Took time, this crooks fine. Had bad karma, I shook mine. Jab good, slip excellent. Uppercut, my hook's fine.
It took time, but I've become skilled at being a criminal. I had bad luck, but I've since recovered. My boxing skills are good, my footwork is quick, and my punches are strong.

Refrigeration, illustration, ice on got niggas hating. Foreign whip, foreign bitch. What that is? Immigration.
My 'refrigerated' and well-illustrated jewelry is flashy, and other people resent it. I have a foreign car and a foreign woman, and people assume they're both from overseas.

Overcooked dope bags cocaine if it cook too long then they may complain. Dope game both lays won't say no names, dope made propane, won't make no change.
If cocaine is cooked for too long, it could become unsatisfactory, and customers will voice their displeasure. Both types of drug dealers, those who sell in small and large quantities, are not willing to implicate anyone. The production of drugs is explosive like propane, but it won't lead to any real change.

From the ghetto us I heard that's why I'm ballin, I'm ballin. If you've got a problem with it I ain't sorry, I ain't sorry.
I come from the ghetto, and that's why I'm living the life of luxury now. If anyone has a problem with that, I'm not sorry for it.

I'm ballin' ballin' ballin' bitch, don't know what else to call it, shit. All these dollars I brought with me, I fuck around spend all this shit. I fuck around spend all this shit. I fuck around spend all this shit.
I'm living the life of luxury, plain and simple. I have a lot of money and tend to spend it recklessly.
