The Way We Ball

Hey, ho
(This is the way we ball)
Ah ha, Houston, Texas
(This is the way we ball)
Ah ha
(This is the way we ball)
(This is the way we ball)

And we like to floss, all my diamonds gloss
I represent the dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty south (this is the way we ball)
And we ridin' blades, Jags and Escalades
We third coast boys but we always gettin' paid (this is the way we ball)
And we like to floss, all my diamonds gloss
I represent the dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty south (this is the way we ball)
And we ridin' blades, Jags and Escalades
We third coast boys but we always gettin' paid (this is the way we ball)

I'm Lil' Flip, I'm back on the scene, freestyle king
Brand new piece, same Byzentine
I'm still sippin' lean, I'm still watchin' "Scream"
I love wearin' platinum, but my favorite color's green
I'm hoppin' out Ferraris, my house is three stories
I'm still independent 'cause Jive couldn't afford me
The meetings were boring, for real, I was snoring
The VP was fine, yeah, she made me kinda horny

But that's another story, let's get back to the topic
Right now, me and Hump negotiatin' to buy the Rockets
We might buy the Comets, name it, I done it
If you see it and want it, buy it, own it
This is for my homies, Pat and DJ Screw
R.I.P. dawg 'cause I really miss you
Boy, I'ma stay true, until the day I fall
East coast and West coast, this is how we ball (this is the way we ball)

And we like to floss, all my diamonds gloss
I represent the dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty south (this is the way we ball)
And we ridin' blades, Jags and Escalades
We third coast boys but we always gettin' paid (this is the way we ball)
And we like to floss, all my diamonds gloss
I represent the dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty south (this is the way we ball)
And we ridin' blades, Jags and Escalades
We third coast boys but we always gettin' paid (this is the way we ball)

I'm thinkin', designer clothes and fashion shows
I'm thinkin', all my albums goin' platinum and gold
I'm thinkin', Jaguars and a Bentley Rolls
I'm thinkin', bein' rich before I'm 24
I'm feelin', wood grain all in my tinted truck
I'm fillin', all my teeth up with princess cuts
I'm fillin', jugs up, no more empty cups
I'm feelin', like I'm worth ten million bucks

And I know, I wear a watch, yo, it was made from a game
And I know, my rims chop like the blades on a plane
And I know, yo' baby mama still givin' me brain
And I know, that ain't platinum, that's a silvery chain
And I make, nothin' but hits when I step in the booth
And I make, rainbows from the sun reflect on my tooth
And I make, DVD's light up in my Coupe
I think, I feel, I know, I'm making money, how 'bout you? (This is the way we ball)

And we like to floss, all my diamonds gloss
I represent the dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty south (this is the way we ball)
And we ridin' blades, Jags and Escalades
We third coast boys but we always gettin' paid (this is the way we ball)
And we like to floss, all my diamonds gloss
I represent the dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty south (this is the way we ball)
And we ridin' blades, Jags and Escalades
We third coast boys but we always gettin' paid (this is the way we ball)

I'm swangin', about to rip the kizzerp, sippin' on my syzzerp
If you buy first from me then you just bought a dessert
Swangas on my whizzeel, platinum in my grizzeel
Me and Doby D stay blowin' on some kizzeel
I'm higher than a hizzeel, mind on a mizzell
Southside of H-town show me how you fizzeel

Now you see we ball, now you see we rich
I represent the legendary Screwed Up Click
I wreck I-45, I wreck two Screw tapes
I'm three wheelin', poppin' trunk, goin' down Fuqua
So move out of my way 'cause I'm ridin' double R
MJ right behind me in a Lexus bubble car (this is the way we ball)

And we like to floss, all my diamonds gloss
I represent the dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty south (this is the way we ball)
And we ridin' blades, Jags and Escalades
We third coast boys but we always gettin' paid (this is the way we ball)
And we like to floss, all my diamonds gloss
I represent the dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty south (this is the way we ball)
And we ridin' blades, Jags and Escalades
