Ballin
Paul Wall feat. Slim Thug Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Win, riding in a cock-eyed Benz
Light blue lens, dro'd out with all of my friends
Ball-balling shot calling, 20 inch crawling
Me and them boys all in, something with screens falling
Playing to win, riding in a cock-eyed Benz
Light blue lens, dro'd out with all of my friends
Big ball shot calling, 20 inch crawling
Candy sprayed, stay at the club L.A
My neck wrist and chest, will show you I'm payed
I'm made-made, like my name's Special Ed
Boy your baby mama giving head, in my Chevy black bed
I'm baller bread, nigga I was raised to grind
Raised to shine, I made heads turn all the time
Hogg-Hogg and Short Stop, in a Bentley soft top
Sharpstown bound, bout to shop till we drop
I can't stop, the cash keep calling
Like Lil' Troy, Slim Thug back to balling
No stalling uh-uh, I stay about that do'
And if you don't know, now you know nigga
(*talking*)
Slim Thugger, E.S.G
T.T., Short Stop, Boss Hogg Outlawz
Put it down, we back to balling
For the 2002, ha
(Pussy's a whole different aspect of life
Wars don't start if the country, if the country over there winning
Pussy is one of the most powerful things in the world
And a lot of people don't understand, how powerful pussy is
Pussy make niggaz blow their brains out, they bitch brains out
Or pussy make people do things they ain't never think they'd do)
The lyrics to Paul Wall feat. Slim Thug's song "Ballin" depicts a carefree and lavish lifestyle of riding in a cock-eyed Benz with friends, decked out in flashy accessories, going to the club, and shopping until they drop, all while being unapologetically proud of their success. The chorus repeats the phrase "balling," signifying their wealth and status. The lyrics also touch on the idea that money and success can bring out negative behavior in others, such as taking advantage of someone's significant other.
Slim Thug's verse showcases his pride in his well-earned success, mentioning his ability to turn heads and buy expensive items to display it. He further emphasizes his wealth by stating that his "neck wrist and chest" will show that he is "payed." Slim Thug also mentions his upbringing, claiming that he was "raised to grind" and "shine." He continues by mentioning his friends in the Boss Hogg Outlawz, with whom he enjoys the spoils of their success.
The outro of the song features a conversation that discusses the power of sex and how it can influence people's behavior in both positive and negative ways. This adds another layer to the song's overall theme, highlighting how wealth and success can affect people differently.
