[Intro: Mac & Soulja Slim]

Say Slim, look

What's happenin' wootay?

We gon' take this here all the way from the Magnolia across Clayborne

Do it like that

Do it


[Chorus: Mac]

Now can I ball, y'al,l or do they wanna see me crawl?

Man, fuck all y'all, if y'all was waitin' on my fall

Can I ball, niggas, or do they wanna see me crawl?

Man, fuck all y'all, if y'all was waitin' on my fall


[Verse 1: Mac]

To make this million I'm bound to left uptown to go get it

Once I get it, I'ma split it with those who I'm committed

Like who, my nigga Wop, my girl Storm, and the rest of my clique

Everybody else be on some, "Oh you ballin' now" (you ballin now)

Since you play me closer, I'ma get the toast, oh mark my word

Buck 'em, fuck 'em if they don't know what's happen my rap

If a nigga know me, he don't know me no more

Cause I don't hang in the same streets no more, I gotta condo

I lay low, chill, stay away from shit that get niggas killed

Call me fake, but my niggas'll say that's trill, fa shiggy

Funny how hoes be calling me jiggy now

Cause I got a little jingle, mingle with the finest and sport diamonds

When I was broke I was skinny and full of shit

Now it ain't nothin' for me to pull a bitch

I scratch off and I hear them hoes say he did that

Every bitch I fuck be sayin' I'm tryin' to have your kid Mac

I ain't with that


[Chorus: Mac]

Can I ball, y'all, or do they wanna see me crawl?

Man, fuck all y'all, if y'all was waitin' on my fall

Can I ball, y'all, or do they wanna see me craw?l

Man, fuck all y'all, if y'all was waitin' on my fall


[Verse 2: Soulja Slim]

I'ma try my best not to let these niggas bring me out there

They know you beefing with the Yo and the Melph, and them niggas don't care

Who they kill, I'm tryna be a millionaire, on the real

But I can't if I'm with that foolishness, so I'ma chill

And just pass through the projects that I used to roam in

Tote the black and the steel chrome, and holler at trill niggas like Jim Stone and

No more hangin', no more slangin' pearls and crack pieces

No more fuckin' dog bitches carryin' deadly diseases

They burn your dick off, givin' you aids through the rubber

I done settled down with a boss bitch, so now that's my lover

She down for a nigga

And when the situation gets heavy she lets loose rounds for a nigga

And if I don't come home she'll come blood hound for a nigga

That's the type of bitch I need, no drink, no smoke, no weed

Hoes label me a hot boy, cause I just come home and I don't get D'd

But I'm a boss baby, I like to floss baby

Can I ball y'all, can I ball?


[Chorus: Mac]

Now can I ball, y'all, or do they wanna see me crawl?

Man, fuck all y'all, if y'all was waitin' on my fall

Can I ball, y'all, or do they wanna see me crawl?

Man, fuck all y'all, if y'all was waitin' on my fall


[Verse 3: Mac]

Now Soulja Slim, my nigga, my nerve, my partner, my wootay

My round, my ace, my dog, I was down even when you was on that brown

You camouflaged uptown that was some shit to see

So when they locked you up I continue the legacy

Now all these niggas claiming Soulja is you 'bout that ball?

Would you die for me if a nigga pull up in that tinted car?

I think you niggas sittin' around waitin' on my fall

Let a nigga ball, nigga, let a nigga ball!


[Chorus: Mac]

Can I ball, y'all, or do they wanna see me crawl?

Man, fuck all y'all, if y'all was waitin' on my fall

Can I ball, niggas, or do they wanna see me crawl?

Fuck y'all niggas, ya heard me, woah!


[Outro: Soulja Slim & Mac]

Now y'all understand, now you understand, Mac-a-don and Soulja Slim in the process of B-O-O-C-ing, ballin' out of control

Bleedin' out of control nigga

Ya understand?

So uh look, I'ma tell these niggas like this here, we 'bout to go get these motherfuckin Rolexes shined up nigga and go get our chrome shined up and we gon' ball ya heard me

They ain't gon' like that they don't wanna hear no shit like that

They ain't gon' like that

But we ballin' out of control though

Bleedin' out of control, we doin' them niggas like that so fuck it
