About This Track

Lil Wayne's 'Ball Hard' is a showcase of rapid-fire name-checking and materialist swagger. The track strings together references to luxury brands, cultural figures, and women's names with the momentum of a list that refuses to pause for breath. David Yurman jewellery, designer labels, international cities, and a rotating cast of celebrities and archetypes form the substance of the song; the effect is less about coherence than about the sheer accumulation of want and acquisition. Lil Twist joins for the second verse, matching Wayne's approach with his own catalogue of references and boasts. The song moves at the pace of appetite, each line a grab at another symbol of status or conquest. There is no narrative arc here, only the relentless enumeration of things to own, places to visit, and women to name. It is a song built entirely on the logic of the list, where meaning lives in velocity rather than depth.

"Ball Hard" is a track by Lil Wayne, from the album Funeral, released 31st January 2020. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Lil Wayne.

Lyrics

Ball Hard

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

David Yurman, Erick Sermon, Pee-wee Herman

Tina Turner, buy it furnished, eat Italian, shop in Paris, drive a German

David Yurman, Erick Sermon, Pee-wee Herman

Tina Turner, buy it furnished, eat Italian, shop in Paris, drive a German

David Yurman, Erick Sermon, Pee-wee Herman

Tina Turner, buy it furnished, eat Italian, shop in Paris, drive a German

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]

Taught my bitches how to whip it, now they whippin', fast learners

Chicken heads, whippin' chickens, I feel like a black colonel

Louis Vuitton, ballin' like Mr. Kareem Abdul-Jabaar

Saint Laurent, I been had the green light, I blew the horn

C'mon c'mon, fuck we waitin' on, my nigga? Move along

Grass is greener on the other side, I never do the lawn

Deepest water, Cita Carter made me feel like Peter Parker

Be a Dora, double R her, treat her like a Ford Explorer

See no evil, neither horror, my bitch eyes chinky, Kamora

Run a mile like Jackie Joyner, bitch should go read a thesaurus

Pretty Tony, Pretty Ricky, Ricky Martin, Martin Lawrence

Lawrence Taylor, Taylor Swift, tailor-made, made in China

Black Chyna, Black Mamba, baby mama, Lady Gaga

Wait, Rihanna, ball hard, Sinéad O'Connor, hm

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

David Yurman, Erick Sermon, Pee-wee Herman

Tina Turner, buy it furnished, eat Italian, shop in Paris, drive a German

Black Chyna, Black Mamba, baby mama, Lady Gaga

Wait, Rihanna, ball hard, Sinéad O'Connor, hm

Ball, ball, ball, ball, ball, Sinéad O'Connor, yeah

Ball, ball, ball, ball, ball

David Yurman, Erick Sermon, Pee-wee Herman

Tina Turner, buy it furnished, eat Italian, shop in Paris, drive a German

[Verse 2: Lil Twist]

It's MULA baby, know you heard me, got the game, I'm talkin' early

Twizzy baby, got these bitches swallowin' babies, talkin' nurseries

Pocket pull up, Black Eyed Peas, the P from Perc has got me flirty

Model bitches tryna hurt me, broken mirrors, pull a Fergie

Oh my God, it's cocaina, Kim and Gina had to team up

Tried to run 'way from this dick and got subpoenaed, had to clean up

Got two strikes out in L.A., I get one more, then new Adidas

Niggas call me Hustle Westbrook, sellin' dope off in the bleachers

Niggas call me Hustle Westbrook, sellin' dope off in the bleachers

Trappin' off a walkie-talkie, ten-four, over, yeah, I read you

That my woadie, that my 'migo, gettin' loaded off sativa

Move the rock like Russell Westbrook, triple-double the whole season, woah

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

David Yurman, Erick Sermon, Pee-wee Herman

Tina Turner, buy it furnished, eat Italian, shop in Paris, drive a German

Black Chyna, Black Mamba, baby mama, Lady Gaga

Wait, Rihanna, ball hard, Sinéad O'Connor, hm

David Yurman, Erick Sermon, Pee-wee Herman

Tina Turner, buy it furnished, eat Italian, shop in Paris, drive a German

Ball, ball, ball, ball, ball, Sinéad O'Connor, yeah

Ball, ball, ball, ball, ball

David Yurman, Erick Sermon, Pee-wee Herman

Tina Turner, buy it furnished, eat Italian, shop in Paris, drive a German

Black Chyna, Black Mamba, baby mama, Lady Gaga

Wait, Rihanna, ball hard, Sinéad O'Connor, hm
