Logic Feat. C Dot Castro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Okay it's RattPack 'til my pulse flat
We keep it real, no false rap
I got four cards and they all black
Got four broads and they all that
We call that ballin'
Doing this is my calling
Flow is so appallin'
My phone off and she callin'
I'm like, "Yeah, what it do?"
Penthouse man what a view
Fall back 'cause I'm coming through
With my whole team they coming too
That's real, too real
Mothafucka tell me how you feel
I'm too good for my own good
I won't leak the album, I'll let it spill
Number one, bitch I bet it will
Do the numbers I said it will
I played the game and I'm still the same
And I never changed just to get a deal

Bitch I'm ballin', ballin'
I came from nuttin' to something
Like it's nuttin', yeah you know I done it
Now there's no discussion
Bitch I'm ballin', ballin'
I made a promise to my mama
I'ma turn these zeros into
Tens and commas
Bitch I'm ballin', ballin'
Closing million dollar deals
Catch me swervin', burning
Hundred dollar bills, how it feel
When you ballin', ballin'
Going places they never go
It ain't all about the money
But I stack it 'cause you never know

I'ma live life 'til I overdose
While they sleepin' on me, that's comatose
I went mainstream with my main team
You just mad as fuck you ain't come close
And yo next girl is my ex-girl
She fine as hell, but she a mess girl
All I do is rhyme, I got no time
So I can't reply to yo text girl
Bitch I'm back again and I run it
Always gotta keep it one hundred
All of y'all know y'all want it
Turn it up and get blunted
I'm like fuck the money, fuck the fame
I came here to fuck up the game
Gon' get it, I'm feeling myself
Fresh to death, bitch I'm killing myself
I'm gone, we burnin' it up
Step in the building we turnin' it up
Talking that shit, but they never admit
When I step to the mic I be murderin' it
And we living real good
Mainstream, but it's still good
I got raw shit, I got real shit
But right now it's time for that feel good
We call that ballin'
Doing this is my calling
Flow is so appallin'
My phone off and she callin'
I'm like, "Yeah, what it do?"
Penthouse man what a view
Fall back 'cause I'm coming through
With my whole team they coming too

That's ballin', ballin'
I came from nuttin' to something
Like it's nuttin', yeah you know I done it
Now there's no discussion
Bitch I'm ballin', ballin'
I made a promise to my mama
I'ma turn these zeros into
Tens and commas
Bitch I'm ballin', ballin'
Closing million dollar deals
Catch me swervin', burning
Hundred dollar bills, how it feel
When you ballin', ballin'
Going places they never go




It ain't all about the money
But I stack it 'cause you never know

Overall Meaning

The song "Ballin'" by Logic feat. C Dot Castro is an upbeat and empowering rap song. In the first verse, Logic establishes his message by stating that he and his RattPack (his group of friends and supporters) keep it real and don't fake their success. He's got four cards and they're all black, as well as four beautiful women, and he's "ballin'," meaning he's living an extravagant lifestyle and succeeding in his dreams. Logic also talks about how he's too good for his own good and won't leak his upcoming album, as he's confident it will go number one. In the chorus, he reaffirms his success and hard work, noting that he was able to turn nothing into something and make a promise to his mom that he'd turn zeros into tens and commas.


The second verse is more of a taunt to his haters, as Logic boasts about his success and how his ex-girlfriend is now dating someone else. He's too busy writing his rhymes and doing his thing to reply to her texts. He's feeling himself and not focusing on the money or fame, but rather on his talent and the impact he's making in the industry. In the chorus, he once again asserts his success and hard work, as well as the importance of staying grounded and not getting caught up in the materialistic aspect of life. The overall message of the song is one of empowerment and the triumph of the underdog, as Logic rose from nothing to achieve his dreams and inspire others to do the same.

Basketball brought me to this song which taught me rap
It taught lessons that u can only learn from experience
1. Don't give a fuck
2. Violence isn't always needed but sure as hell makes a point/example
3. Ppl are gonna be discriminative
4. Focus on money more than relationships
5. Never forget where u came from and who got u here
6. Everything and nothing matters
Goodbye

Lyrics... yw lol

Okay it's RattPack til my pulse flat
We keep it real, no false rap
I got 4 cars and they all black
Got 4 broads and they all that
(What) we call that?
Balling, doing this since my calling
Flow is so appalling
My phone off and she calling, I'm like
"Yeah, what it do?", Penthouse man what a view
Fall back because I'm coming through with my whole team they coming too
That's real, too real
Motherfucker tell me how you feel
I'm too good for my own good, I won't leak the album I'll let it spill
Number 1 bitch I bet it will, do the numbers I said it will
I play the game and I'm still the same and I'll never change
Just to get a deal

[Hook:]
Bitch I'm ballin', ballin'
I came from nothing to something like it's nothing
Yeah you know I done it now there's no discussion
Bitch I'm ballin', ballin'
I made a promise to my mama I'mma turn these zeros into tons of commas
Bitch I'm ballin', ballin'
Closing million dollar deals catch me swervin', burning 100 dollar bills
How it feel when you
Ballin', ballin', going places they never go
It ain't all about the money but I stack it cause you never know

[Verse 2 - Logic:]
I'mma live life 'til I overdose
While they sleeping on me, that's comatose
I went mainstream with my main team you just mad as fuck you ain't come close
And yo next girl is my ex girl she fine as hell but she a mess girl
All I do is rhyme I got no time so I can't reply to yo text girl
Bitch I'm back again and I run it
Always gotta keep it one hundred
All of y'all know y'all want it

And we living real good

Flow is so appalling
My phone off and she calling, I'm like

[Hook]

[Verse 3 - C Dot Castro:]
Yeah, you know that we ballin' we be going all in hold on
Let me slow it down so y'all get the shit
These haters talk but I don't give a shit
Got models, bottles and the piff is lit
But we balling, kinda like Spauldin and Rawling
On the road to riches never Stalling
Got yo girl all up all on my nuts
But she do it with joy, no almonds, ugh
Living life to perfection
VIP that's the section
Presidential watch, presidential suites
You would think we held an election
It go Logic first then I'm up next
I do not converse I just cut checks
I do not rehearse I just drop the verse
I need to cop a hearse cause I'm fresh to death
I bet you never seen so much designer
Never seen a nigga with a bitch that's finer
Boy I stunt but I ain't even tryna
Swagging is nice but first I'm a rhymer
And I rep Maryland home of the Terrapins
Say you spit crack homie we spit that heroin
Bring it right to your front door like I'm caroling
Standing next to me would be so embarrassin' yeah we be ballin'!
[Hook]
