Bow Wow - Ballin

[Hook: Jay Rock]

And I spent a couple bucks on this, yea

Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this

And I spent a couple bucks on this, yea

Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this

[Verse 1: Jay Rock]

Okay, headed to that swap meat

Coppin all that Avalon

Fresh white T's and some J's what I had in mind

I remember days when a nigga didn't have a dime

Now I got big dollas, I just buy whatever come to mind

Choppas squeezed, I remember when I used to window shop

Now I hit the mall, buy it all 'cus I'm on the top

Boss like 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

6-50 top back, chillin on my corner

Used to be MacDonald's, now we eat at Benihana's

5 star suites with freaks, that's on my mama

They tell me money evil but it wash away my problems

Don't matter what the price, lil mama just know I got it

Aw, it ain't trickin if you got it

My bank account solid and my wallet need a diet

[Bridge]

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

[Hook]

And I spent a couple bucks on this, yea

Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this

And I spent a couple bucks on this, yea

Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

Like my nigga meet me outside

These homies rush me just so they can steal my flashdrive

My music that important, imported in iPod

Buying my CDs like payin ties, act God

I'm sure success will taste better than nectarines

Growing in the spring, basket's the fruit of life

Had the boy arrange me every time I pick up the mike

I hop my entertainment be a bigger impact than Mike

Can I live like the princess of Munda?

Got a princess to groom the lacks o my scalp with a golden comb

And I'm on, Cloud 9, stopping acts like in the sky

I'm from Compton, can't you hear me coming like I'm from the shy

I'm inspired from a magic twice, which art is a rep and run?

But if they knew my intentions the reff and probably run

I'm just a good kid from the city who made straight A's

Tryna make the transition from Rose to Kool Aid

[Bridge]

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

[Hook]

And I spent a couple bucks on this, yea

Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this

And I spent a couple bucks on this, yea

Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this

[Verse 3: Bow Wow]

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 clap, I got my cheddar up

I used to smoke dirt weed, now I'm smoking better

But in school I couldn't get a girl but now I'm getting groupie love

Now I'm seeing better days, mama's so proud of me

Do it for my grandma but I know she lookin down on me

Reach in my pocket and grab big bills

If this is Caribbean rich I like how this feel

Hah, and ain't nobody help me get here

If you lookin for me at the top is where I'll be, I'll be there go

[Bridge]

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

[Hook]

And I spent a couple bucks on this, yea

Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this

And I spent a couple bucks on this, yea

Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this
