Gotta Ball

[Intro]
(Ayy, Mango)
And you know they gon' hate on you forever, but-but if they ain’t hating, you ain't doing right
And if—, and when times get hard, best believe that the sunlight coming right after that

[Chorus]
Never ever dropped ten points in a ball game, but I'm still balling like I’m tryna get me a ring
Made myself a new man, but I'm tryna maintain being broke, but still have a lot of rich nigga dreams
If I ain't got nobody, for a fact, I know that I got Steff, she was here before I ever made streams
She was hеre before I еver even had me a team, steady help me fight my problems, extra extremes
That's why I gotta ball, I can't sit on my ass, gotta get up, and go make me a move
And I do it for myself, so I ain't gotta prove shit
I just gotta ball, only if you understand why a nigga really go so hard for this
Bounce back, I'ma keep on taking my shots even if I miss
I just gotta ball-all-all-all, on my soul, I just gotta keep on going
I just gotta ball (Yeah)-all-all-all, on my soul, I gotta keep on going

[Verse]
Kind of funny how a nigga used to be down bad, but I knew that I was worth way more than a mill'
Kind of funny how a nigga ain’t eat on every fucking summer, when I raise both arms, you can see all of my ribs
And the funny part about it, I was being kind of dumb, I was young when I was just blowing all of my bills
2016 when we hit rock bottom, but it ain’t keeping nobody from going after a mill'
Yeah, promise to God, walk alone, need no entourage
They not real, promise they camouflage, so, therefore, I’ma keep me a rod
Let me know if you can solve this riddle: What is always common, but never arriving?
Yeen really got time to sit and giggle, that's why I keep going in, I don't need no signal
I ain't even gon’ lie, times got so rough, I ain't even think that I was gon' graduate
But it got way worse, I was at my first job when I got that call Keif passed away
Only me and my mama who was tryna make it out, fighting through them hard times, tryna gravitate
Even though we went broke, we learned a whole lot of shit, it ain't rumbled us, the only thing that I'm glad to see
You can ask about it, I never fell for the gimmicks, made it happen, now they think that I'm a chemist
Live everything I put in every sentence, you a fool if you think I really didn't
And I know it look good, only if you understood all the problems that you really don't get to see
But I really been through a lot, so I understand almost everything, that's why people come and vent to me

[Interlude]
When I say I gotta ball, I ain't tal'm 'bout no motherfucking gym or no fucking net
I'm tal'm 'bout me going in with everything got
'Cause it's a lot of shit I got on my mind and I can't lose, nigga
Living Gold forever, glah

[Chorus]
Never ever dropped ten points in a ball game, but I'm still balling like I'm tryna get me a ring

If I ain't got nobody, for a fact, I know that I got Steff, she was here before I ever made streams
She was here before I ever even had me a team, steady help me fight my problems, extra extremes
That's why I gotta ball, I can't sit on my ass, gotta get up, and go make me a move
And I do it for myself, so I ain't gotta prove shit
I just gotta ball, only if you understand why a nigga really go so hard for this
Bounce back, I'ma keep on taking my shots even if I miss
I just gotta ball-all-all-all, on my soul, I just gotta keep on going
I just gotta ball (Yeah)-all-all-all, on my soul, I gotta keep on going
