Track No: 12

I would share the definition of ballin' with you white folks
But now
The game is to be sold and not told, so uh, **** ****
I'm just living and a-loving
Looking for the moment
When you've got time to kill
I'm up before the sunrise, first to hit the block
Lil' bad mother**** with a **** **** **** ****
Learn to throw them thangs, get my skinny little **** kicked
And **** laugh till the first mother**** got ****
I put the **** **** **** ****
Now they coverin' the bastard in plastic
I smoke **** on the regular, **** when it counts
I'm tryna make a million dollars out a ****
And gettin' ghost on the 5-0
**** **** ****
Gotta **** screaming out, "Survival"
**** **** can I lay low?
**** **** ****
Holla "one-time" when I say so
Don't wanna go to the pen, I'm hittin' fences
Narcs on a **** back, missin' me by inches
And they say, how do you survive weighing 165
In the city where the skinny **** die
Tell Mama, "Don't cry"
Even when they kill me
They can never take the game from a young G
I'm straight ballin'
I'm just living and a-loving
Waiting for the moment
When you've got time to kill
Yeah, straight ballin'
I'm just living and a-loving
Waiting for the moment
When you've got time to kill
I'm still on parole and I'm the first **** servin'
Pour some liquor on the curb for my **** that deserve it
But if I wanna make a million, I gotta **** ****
It's kinda boomin' 'round the way, and today I'll make a killin'
Dressin' down like I'm dirty, but only on the block
It's a clever disguise to keep from runnin' from the cops
I'm gettin' ****, think I'll die if I don't get no ends
I'm in the bucket, but I'm ridin' it like it's a Benz
I hit the strip and let my music bump
Drinkin' liquor and I'm looking for some **** ****
Rather die making money than live poor and legal
As I **** **** ****, I wish it was a ****
I need money in a major way
Time to **** my **** **** **** gettin' paid
You other mother**** crawlin'
But me and my **** thug ****
We straight ballin'
I'm just livin' and a-lovin'
Waitin' for the moment
When you've got time to kill
I'm just living and a-loving
Waiting for the moment
When you've got time to kill
Damned if I don't and damned if a **** do
So watch a young **** pull a **** just to raise up
But don't let 'em see you cry
Dry your eyes young ****, time to do or die
I keep a **** in my pocket, ready
On my block, ain't no time for a **** to even ****
And I done seen a mother**** beat pain
**** **** **** 'cause he slept on the game
And ain't a damn thing changed
You shakin' the dice, now roll 'em
If you can't stand pain, better hold 'em
'Cause ain't no tellin' what you might roll
You might fold, catch AIDS from a slight cold, ****
Best to live your life to the fullest
**** **** **** ***** ***** ****
**** **** **** **** **** **** ****
'Cause even when they kill me
They can never take the game from a young G
We straight ballin'
I'm just living and a-loving
Waitin' for the moment
When you've got time to kill
You know, we straight ballin'
I'm just living and a-loving
Waiting for the moment
When you've got time to kill
To my **** in the penitentiary
Loc up like a mother**** when they mention me
'Cause you **** with the realest mother**** ever born
And once again it's on, I'm bustin' on these **** till they gone
Now, who the hell can you get to stop me?
I'm in the projects parlayin' with my posse
I keep my **** **** **** 'cause they all shady
I finally made it, now these jealous **** tryna fade me
I ain't going out, I'd rather **** ****
I'm on the corner with my **** watchin' cash stack
And I came up a long way from food stamps
And takin'**** from the lowlife ghetto tramps
How could you blame me? If they sweat me, I'ma **** ****
What could I do? Pull my **** **** **** **** ****
I'm representin' to the fullest, giving devil slugs
I'm on the block **** **** with the young thugs
And mother****, we be ballin'
All mother**** day long, stay strong
We straight ballin'
