Ballin Songtext

Hey Kendrick, I remember when a nigga was broke as a motherfucker
And now, we on

And I spent a couple bucks on this (yeah)
Just to be like nigga you ain′t up on this (yeah)
And I spent a couple bucks on this (yeah)
Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this

Okay, headed to that swap meet, Compton or that Avalon
Fresh white tees and some J′s what I had in mind
I remember days when a nigga didn't have a dime
Now I got big dollars I just buy whatever come to mind
Shopping sprees, I remember when I used to window shop
Now I hit the mall buy it all cause I'm on the top
Boss life, I used to dream of this moment
Used to roll that stress, now I roll that kill I call it coma
Step inside my ride I know you smell the aroma
Six-fifty top back chilling on my corner


Used to be McDonalds now we eat at Benihana′s
Five star suites with freaks that′s on my momma
They tell me money evil but it wash away my problems
Don't matter what the price, lil′ mama just know I got it, oww
It ain't tricking if you got it
My bank account solid and my wallet need a diet

I used to be broke but now I′m ballin', I′m ballin'
Used to be broke but now I'm ballin′, I′m ballin'
Used to be broke but now I′m ballin', I′m ballin'
Used to be broke but now I′m ballin', I'm ballin′

And I spent a couple bucks on this
Just to be like nigga you ain′t up on this
And I spent a couple bucks on this
Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this

Uh, like my nigga meet me outside

His homies rush me just so they can steal my flash drive
My music that important, imported in iPods


Buying my CD like pantides, ask God
I′m sure success a taste better than nectarines
Growing in the spring, bask in the fruit of life
Edible arrangements every time I pick up the mic
I hope my entertainment be a bigger impact than Mike
Can I live? Like the Princess of Munda
Got a princess to groom the naps on my scalp with a golden comb
And I'm on, cloud nine stopping at lights in the sky
I′m from Compton, can you hear me common like I'm from the Chi?
I′m inspired from ménage à trois with daughters of Reverend Run

But if they knew my intentions a reverend probably run
I'm just a good kid from the city who made straight A's
Tryna make the transition to Rosé from Kool-Aid

I used to be broke but now I′m ballin′, I'm ballin′
Used to be broke but now I'm ballin′, I'm ballin′
Used to be broke but now I'm ballin', I′m ballin′
Used to be broke but now I'm ballin′, I'm ballin′

And I spent a couple bucks on this
Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this
And I spent a couple bucks on this
Just to be like nigga you ain′t up on this

Okay, started as a youngin, now I'm at the top
Used to ride the city bus now I'm at the car lot
And we live up in the mall now, something like a regular
I ball every day, like Kraft, I got my cheddar up
I used to smoke dirt weed, now I′m smoking better bud
In school I couldn′t get a girl but now I'm getting groupie love
Now I′m seeing better days, mama so proud of me
Do it for my grandmother, I know she looking down on me

Reach in my pocket, and grab big bills
If this is called being rich, I like how this feel

Huh, and ain't nobody help me get here
If you looking for me at the top is where I be, I′ll be there, gone

I used to be broke but now I'm ballin′, I'm ballin'
Used to be broke but now I′m ballin′, I'm ballin′
Used to be broke but now I'm ballin′, I'm ballin′
Used to be broke but now I'm ballin', I′m ballin′

And I spent a couple bucks on this
Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this
And I spent a couple bucks on this
Just to be like nigga you ain′t up on this
