Ball On My Side

Lyrics

[Intro: DeJ Loaf] Yeah, yeah [Verse 1: DeJ Loaf] I remember I was lost I remember I was lost (Lost) Now I'm gettin' old (Now I'm gettin' old) I remember we was kids (Kids, yeah) I remember everything we did, yeah Don't play where you live, all them shots comin' in (Bah) Yeah, daddy died, mama cried (Mama cried) Grandma right by my side Yeah, my grandma right by my side Yeah, I'm still grievin' (Oh, yeah, yeah) You broke me into pieces Why you have to leave me? You still been with Tranika (Why you have to leave?) I used to hop the fences (Yeah), and all the boys still had interest I remember when my dad, he got killed in '95 And the killer came alive (Woah) Real gangsta, I can't help, it's in me Dreams of Bimmers, Benz, or the Bentley Came a long way from bein' dingy, and, nah, I ain't stingy (I ain't stingy) Ain't scared to pass the ball to my dogs Pass the ball, ball, ball [Verse 2: Lil Poppa] I remember grandma by my side, then she died I remember mama sayin' "Let go of your pride, son" I remember daddy sayin' nothin', that's what made me (That's what made me) I done let them drugs almost run a nigga crazy Gotta watch the clock when I push the rock, like I'm JAY-Z 'Cause it don't ever stop, you get one shot Hold on, Poppa, it's either rap or back to the block But, when they all dependin' on you, how the fuck you gon' flop? A thousand miles from New York, I'm waitin' 'til the ball drop Just to make sure my son shine, I'ma block the clouds Ain't tryna go on stage until the crowd screamin' loud Give a fuck what they all say, long as I made you proud (Yeah, yeah) [Chorus: DeJ Loaf] I grew up 'round real shootas I used to think I'd be a hooper Like assists, I woke upwith that ball on my side (Oh, oh, oh) I grew up 'round real shootas I used to think I'd be a hooper (Used to think I) Like assists, I woke up (I woke up) I woke up with that ball on my side [Verse 3: NoCap] I'm still screamin' free my shoota, I just hope he get a early release I'm in the hills, I feel like [?], but I'm still thinkin' 'bout that block like Embiid I been losin' all my company and stayin' faded If your love come with honesty, then I'll take it Surprise Benz for you, bae, just to see you react You left in March, I know by May, I'll be breakin' your back You got you a gangsta, teach me how to love Ain't fuckin' this bond up, and who am I to judge? Them times that I fucked up, it weighed on me a ton But, girl, you don't know, 'cause, I'm actin' nonchalant I been tryna balance, girl, this cash, or you Tryna sober up before the afternoon I be dyin' slowly in the fastest coupe Pop another 30, tryna pass the moon I'm livin' wise, I can't deny it, sit down and chalk about it It's all inside, I just get quiet, don't wanna talk about When you at the top, it make it hard for them to understand you I wish that I could read the past just like I'm Jalen Ramsey [Verse 4: Hunxho] Never gave up, hope this shit get better I done been to jail, never fold under pressure You speak on my dead, we outside tryna stretch somethin' You think I'm a fed, yeah, I told them niggas bet somethin' Dead some, send a blitz, nigga head's off Sex, money, all I see is redrum So used to thuggin' in the cold, real soldier Ain't no changin' my lifestyle, I'm gettin' older Out on the block, it was me and brodie Five hundred shots, nigga, play while I'm performin' And I remember we was young All outside, tryna walk somethin' down And I remember we was young Go and steal a ride, act like it's mines And I remember we was young Know nothin' but rob, still talk to God Mama saying I'm a star Say fuck my hoop dreams, still gon' ball [Chorus: DeJ Loaf] I grew up 'round real shootas I used to think I'd be a hooper Like assists, I woke up with that ball on my side I grew up 'round real shootas I used to think I'd be a hooper (Used to think I) Like assists, I woke up (I woke up) I woke up with that ball on my side
