Ballin'
Paul Wall feat. Slim Thug Lyrics

I'm ballin' baby ("big ballin'")
I am living an extravagant life and spending a lot of money, like a big baller.

Gridiron on the beat
Gridiron produced the beat for this song.

Big house, big car
I have a large and expensive house and car.

Hoes everywhere, ice everywhere, money everywhere
I am surrounded by women, jewelry, and lots of money.

I'm ballin' man, I ain't braggin'
I am truly living this extravagant lifestyle and not just boasting about it.

I'm just tellin' you what it is like, I'm ballin
I am providing a glimpse into my life of luxury and wealth.

Know'm talkin' bout? What up ?
Do you know what I'm talking about? What's happening?

I see you on the beat mo' betta
You did a good job producing the beat for this song.

I'm comin' down, candy paint, sprayed by that Eddie
I am driving my car with custom candy paint that was expertly applied by Eddie.

12 coats of that clear lookin' like some grape jelly
The clear paint on top of the candy paint job is thick and looks like grape jelly.

My paint's drippin' wet, my slab is superb
The custom paint job on my car is still glossy and wet-looking, and my car is in excellent condition.

Park the truck and catchin' boppers down here in this dirty third
I am parking my car and attracting attention from attractive women in this area known as the Dirty Third.

I hold it down for the block bleeders workin' overtime
I am representing and supporting those hustling hard in the neighborhood.

Not concerned at all with petty shit, I'm occupied on the grind
I'm focused on making money and not getting wrapped up in small problems.

I keep my mind on breakin' bread, makin' chess moevs, thinkin' ahead
I am constantly strategizing and making shrewd business decisions to increase my wealth.

I soaked up game at a early age, I'm built for this, I'ma seasoned vet
I learned the ins and outs of making money at a young age, and I am experienced at it now.

Swangers symbolize respect, cain't just anybody tip on Vogues
The type of rims I have on my car, Swangers, are a symbol of respect, and not just anyone can put expensive rims like Vogues on their car.

They'll catch you slippin' in the turnin' lane, and leave ya ass naked walkin home
People in this area are dangerous and will rob you if you let your guard down while driving.

Candy on chrome is how I drive, with screens fallin' in the back of the ride
I drive a car with a custom candy paint job and chrome accents, and screens playing videos in the back seat.

My music screwed and my drank is purple, go and take a sip I'd be obliged
I listen to slowed-down music and I drink purple drank, and I invite others to try it.

I'm comin straight from the land of the fry, the city of syrup and the home of Screw
I'm from Houston, Texas, where people eat a lot of fried food and drink syrupy drinks, and it's also where DJ Screw, a famous rapper and producer, was from.

I'm on the block with my potnah Gooch, stashin' cash in my Reebok shoe
I am hanging out with my friend Gooch on the block and keeping my money hidden in my Reebok shoe.

What that do I can't complain, the candy gloss drippin' off the frame
I'm doing pretty well and my car's glossy paint job is still looking good.

Ball in the mix I'm off the chain, it's goin' down H-Town
I'm living an extravagant life and things are jumping off in Houston.

[Chorus: x4] I'm big ballin' baby, yeah, and I'm spendin' cheese I'm on my grind all day makin' money with ease
The chorus repeats my themes of living a luxurious life and making money easily.

I'm grippin' on that wood grain, I'm sippin' on that good drank
I am holding onto the wooden steering wheel and drinking some purple drank.

I'm showin' love to every side and every neighborhood man
I am friendly with everyone from all different sides and neighborhoods.

I got them neon lights glowin', representin' my block
I have neon lights on my car, showing off which block I'm from.

I'm on that 59 South, ridin' with my trunk popped
I am driving on highway 59 with my trunk open, showing off my sound system.

From that Homestead to that Spice Lane, I'm on Scott, in the turning lane
I am driving along various streets in Houston, including Homestead and Spice Lane, and sometimes stopping in the turning lane.

I'm headed straight to that Timmy Chan's, order up and let's get some wings
I am going to the restaurant Timmy Chan's to get some wings with my friends.

New Hawk on that channel, I'm on that dolly right
I am listening to the rapper New Hawk on my music channel and everything is going well for me.

On the way to my gran-ty house, I'm navigated by bubble lights
As I drive to my grandma's house, I am following the flashing lights of an emergency vehicle to make sure I don't get lost.

I'm teded by that junior, I'm cut up by White Mike
Some guys named Junior and White Mike are giving me a haircut.

Busted up by that Mr. Davis, sluggin' me is a beautiful night
Someone named Mr. Davis gave me some trouble, but I'm still feeling good tonight.

That chrome is quite atrocious, complimented by candy gloss
The chrome accents on my car are garish, but they go well with the candy paint job.

I'm tiptoein on fo' swangers, eighty-fo's like Randy Moss
I am driving on 84-spoke rims, which look clean and shiny like NFL player Randy Moss.

Open mouth and show platinum grill, it's like a disco ball
I have platinum teeth, and they sparkle and shine like a disco ball.

I got expensive tastes, courtesy of expensive jaws
I have expensive things that I like, thanks to my expensive mouth jewelry.

They see me comin' grill and woman, truck bumpin
People notice me because of my jewelry and attractive female companions, and my music is bumping loudly from my car.

Knockin' pictures off the wall is nothin' cause I'm a baller
The loud music from my car is strong enough to vibrate and knock pictures off a wall, but I don't care because I am living a luxurious lifestyle.
