Ball On My Side

[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
