Ballin' After Dark

It was Friday night around 8:02
And there was nothin' to do so we went to the school
Farren Avenue, because it's right off the block
So we grabbed the basketball and then proceeded to stroll
Drinks in our hand but they was gettin' kinda low
So Rock said "aye yo I'm 'bout to go to the sto'"
He came back in a few, with a car full of brew
That's when me and the homies was playin' 2 on 2
Then a car pulled up, ya know the same old ladies
We been knowin' them girls since way back in the 80's
We get some lovin' they don't keep callin'
We just here Friday night when all the homies go ballin'
Then I got a pager and then a phone, 'cause it's my homie
"The party's goin' on tonight!" That's what he told me
Ran back to the house got dressed up right
It's on once again another to-damn night
Friday night, we kick it at the park
But that's just the start
When your ballin' after dark

"Ballin'"
Well, well
Well, well
"Ballin' after dark"
We was ballin', ballin'
Oooh yeah
"Ballin' after dark"
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Walkin' to the car, then we started to run
The homies got to trippin' they was fightin' for shotgun
But now we inside the ride goin' 3 cars deep
The top down, we climbin' in the leather seats
Hit the Boulevard and the street was pumpin'
Cars fixed up, mass systems bumpin'
More liters all around, cars drive down
Homies trynna jet I think I like how it's goin' down
I just sat back like a big city ballar
But hustlin' after dark pullin' out, in my neighborhood
Hey sweet thing, what's up with you and your friends?
You wanna kick it with us?
She says "that all depends"
See me and my girls, we know what's up
And on Friday night, we party 'til the suns up
Sit back hoe and just chill to the groove
'Cause we ballers after dark and we still on the move

"Ballin'"
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
"Ballin' after dark"
We was ballin', ballin'
Ooh yeah
"Ballin' after dark"
Ballin' after dark

5 cars in a straight line headed to the hotel
To the Tel Breakers that's the hotel we know well
We walked in the door my homies workin' the front desk
He gave us two rooms and free drinks at our request
Rooms cost a grip, but not for us G
The homie works alone at night so we kick it for free
Rooms fillin' up they was bangin' on the wall
The sound of the party echoin' through the halls
"Knock, knock!" On the door
Opened up then I grinned
Some freaks who wanna party "ya'll come on in!"
"Ring, ring!" On the phone "the police are on their way!"
The homie in the lobby told me "bail out the back way!"
A huge party crowd, runnin' through the streets
Duckin' and dived to avoid the police
So we creeped to the corner head back to the park
But surprise, sunrise
We ballin' after dark

"Ballin'"
"Ballin' after dark"
"Said we was ballin'"
"Ballin' after dark"
"Ballin'"
"Ballin' after dark"
"Said we was ballin'"
"Ballin' after dark"
