[Intro: Ice Cube]
I love this game, yeah
Haha, haha (Uh-huh)
Yeah
[Refrain: Ice Cube]
We be ballin'
Everybody likes all the plays we callin'
Your team fallin'
We ain't stallin'
We just slammin' and jammin' like it ain't nothin' wrong (Boo-yah!)
[Verse 1: Ice Cube]
It's back, the NBA's where it's at
We the macks, VIPs watching Shaq
Stackin' up the numbers, makin' opponents dumber
You oughta check him smarter, or a little harder (What?)
And we can ball on land, air and water
Got your daughter cheerin' harder than you think she oughta
Get the order to slaughter any team like that
Jordan, me, and Shaq, a Dream Team pack
Watch my man Allen I take it to the rim
Two minutes left and we winning by ten
The crowd leavin', we up by a dub
Fool, you in my house, you get no love
[Refrain: Ice Cube]
We be ballin'
Everybody likes all the plays we callin' (What?)
Your team fallin'
We ain't stallin'
We just slammin' and jammin' like it ain't nothin' wrong (Bring it)
Get your ball on
[Chorus: Michael Jackson & Ice Cube]
Nothin' you can say, ain't nothin' you can do
We be ballin' you (We be ballin'), we be ballin' you (Oh, yes, we be ballin')
No one to defeat, you'll see when we get through
We be ballin' you (We be ballin'), we be ballin' you (Oh, yes, we be ballin')
[Verse 2: Shaquille O'Neal, Ice Cube & Both]
We like Rolls Ro', Azure for sure
Peep my flow, like low post, nice and swift
Priceless gift, harder we hit, bigger y'all bruise
Bet a mill', no excuses, fake players, ya lose, paid my dues
When Cube is with me, we gettin' nifty
Ballers making history by being greatest 50
You ballers is fugazi, can't fade me, what y'all think? (Yeah)
Bang on whoever, whenever, then Merton Hanks (Yeah)
I been ballin', shot callin', legend of the game
Blame Live '98 for the fame
Ask Cube, do these kids wanna be him?
The Don and trey-four blowin' up your coliseum
Boy, it's big Shaquille ballin' full thrust
Crossover left, right, comp in the dust
What! (Haha, haha) What!
[Refrain: Ice Cube]
We be ballin'
Everybody likes all the plays we callin'
Your team fallin'
We ain't stallin'
We just slammin' and jammin' like it ain't nothin' wrong
Get your ball on
[Chorus: Michael Jackson & Ice Cube]
Nothin' you can say, ain't nothin' you can do
We be ballin' you (We be ballin'), we be ballin' you (Oh, yes, we be ballin')
No one to defeat, you'll see when we get through
We be ballin' you (We be ballin'), we be ballin' you (Oh, yes, we be ballin')
[Interlude: Shaquille O'Neal & Ice Cube]
You got scorers, we got scorers
You got bangers, we got bangers (We be ballin')
What, that's nothing, what!
(Yay-yay)
[Verse 3: Ice Cube]
I'm MVP, so what's up now? (What?)
The number two team just touched down
Watch me as I clown, opponents all fallin' to the floor
And I'm goin' in for the score
It's quarter number four, they start to push and shove
The skills I possess must come from up above
Love for everybody waitin' on us
And scrubs are everybody hatin' on us
Debatin' on us, but they only visitin'
Ain't tryna come through my house and win
I see you watching me, but I'm the father
And I can take you to the hole like the Doctor, watch her
I see her lookin' hard
'Cause she know that I'm a superstar
They know who we are
We goin' all the way, baby, we done went this far
[Chorus: Michael Jackson & Ice Cube]
Nothin' you can say, ain't nothin' you can do
We be ballin' you (We be ballin'), we be ballin' you (Oh, yes, we be ballin')
No one to defeat, you'll see when we get through
We be ballin' you (We be ballin'), we be ballin' you (Oh, yes, we be ballin')
We're so hard to defeat, we love just to compete
We be ballin' you (We be ballin'), we be ballin' you (Oh, yes, we be ballin')
Here to make you plead, we'll bring you to your knees
We be ballin' you (We be ballin'), we be ballin' you (Oh, yes, we be ballin')
[Outro: Ice Cube]
Shake 'em off, shake 'em off, I'm takin' off
For the rim, for the rim, we 'bout to win
Shake 'em off, shake 'em off, I'm takin' off
For the rim, for the rim, we 'bout to win
We be ballin', we be ballin', yay-yay
We be ballin', we be ballin'
We be ballin', we be ballin', we be ballin'
