Tupac Straight Ballin Lyrics

I would share the definition of ballin' with you white folks...
but now...

The game is to be sold, and not told, so uh, f___ you

I'm just living and a lovin',
waiting for the moment,
when you've got time to kill

[Verse 1]
I'm up before the sunrise, first to hit the block
Little bad m________a with a pocket full of rock
Learn to throw them thangs, get my skinny little a__ kicked (hahahaha)
And n____s laugh, til' tha first m________a got blasted
I put the n____ in his casket
Now they coverin' the b______ in plastic
I smoke blunts on a regular buck when it counts
I'm tryin' to make a million dollars outta quarter ounce
And gettin' lost on the five-o, f___ them ho's
Got a 45 screamin' out survival
Hey n____ can I lay low, cook some yay-yo
Holla "one-time" when I say so (one time, one time, one time)
Don't want to go to the pen, I'm hittin' fences
Narcs on a n____'s back, missin' me by inches
And they say how do you survive weighin' 165
In a city where the skinny n____s die?
Tell Mama don't cry
Even when they kill me
They can never take the game from a young G
I'm str8 ballin

There it is
Hahahaha
U know
Yeahh
[Spoken faintly]: (They can't f___ with a thug n____)
Ghost Style
I'm just living and a lovin',
waiting for the moment,
when you've got time to kill
Str8 Ballin
[Spoken faintly]: (On my block when I pull the trigga)
(They can't f___ with a thug n____)
I'm just living and a lovin', waiting for the moment, when you've got time to kill
Yeahh, Str8 ballin
Where my n____z at? That's why I f___ with the thugs, uh
Str8 ballin'
[Spoken faintly]: (On my block when I pull the trigga)
(They can't f___ with a thug n____)

[Verse 2]
I'm still on parole and I'm the first n____ servin'
Pour some liquor on the curb for my n____s that deserve it
But if I wanna make a million, gotta stay dealin'
It's kinda boomin' round the way I think today I'll make a killin'
Dressin' down like i'm dirty, but only on the block
It's a clever disguise to keep me runnin' from the cops
Ha, I'm gettin' high, I think I'll die if I don't get no ends
I'm in a bucket but I'm ridin' it like it's a Benz
I hit the strip and let my music b__p
Drinkin' liquor, and I'm lookin' for some hoes to f___
Rather die makin' money than live poor and legal
As I slang another ounce, I wish it was a kilo
A need money in a major way
Time to f___ my BIAATCH!! and gettin' paid
(Hahahahaha)
You other m________as fallin'
But me and my m________in' thug n____s
Hah, we str8 ballin'

(Look here)
Y'all know what time it is
This the part where y'all loc up
Yknawm sayin'?
I'm just living and a lovin', waiting for the moment, when you've got time to kill
Str8 ballin'
Doin' 55 n____ due time
Police right (?)behind(?)
They can't see me
They wanna be me
Str8 m____fuckin' ballin'
Start lettin' it off n____ this 94, and n____z want mo'
I'm just living and a lovin', waiting for the moment, when you've got time to kill
Hah, we str8 ballin'
That's how it's goin down my m____fuckin' n____
Bulletproof vests and all
You know?

[Verse 3]
d___ed if I don't, and d___ed if a n____ do
So watch a young m________a pull a trigga just to RAISE UP
But don't let em see you cry, dry your eyes
Young n____ time to do or die
I keep a pistol in my pocket
Ready on my block
Ain't no time for a n____ to even c___ s___
And I done seen a m________a peep pain
At point blank range cause he slappin' on the game
Ain't a d___ed thing changed
U shakin' the dice, now roll 'em
If you can't stand pain better hold 'em
Cause ain't no tellin' what you might roll
You might fold catch AIDS from a slight cold, n____
Best 2 live your life to the fullest,
Be quick 2 to kill a bull, got a pistol m________a better pull it
Cause even when they kill me
they can never take the game from a young G
We str8 ballin'

Hahahaha YEAAA
My m____fuckin' n____
Str8 ballin'
I'm just living and a lovin', waiting for the moment, when you've got time to kill
They have you n____z believe you 'bout to die
When we really comin' up like a m____fucka (you know)
Just str8 ballin'
Ynawm sayin', f___ that small time nickel and a dime, if you gon' do it, do it n____, if you want it, pursue it
I'm just living and a lovin', waiting for the moment, when you've got time to kill
We can handle s___
It's time for n____z to stay ballin'
We MADE this m____fucka
For WHO?

[Verse 4]
To my n____s in the penitentiary,
Loked up like a m________a when they mention me
Cause you f___in' with the realest motha f___a ever born
And once again it's on
I'm bustin' on these b____es till they gone
Now who the hell can you get to stop me?
I'm in the project, parlaying with my posse
I keep my glock c___ed
n____ cause they all shady
I finally made it
now these jealous b____es tryin' to FADE me! (Haha)
I ain't goin' out I'd rather blast back
I'm on the corner with my n____s watchin' the cash stack
And I came up a long way from food stamps (b_____)
And takin' s___ from these low-life ghetto tramps
How could you blame me? If they sweat me I'ma open fire
What could I do? Pull my trigga or watch my n____ die
I'm representin' to the fullest givin' double slugs
I'm on the block slangin' drugs with the young thugs
And m________a, we be ballin'

Hahaha, all m________in' day long, stay strong
We str8 ballin'
