[Intro]
"It came in a two word statement which is now just begging to have a Nike campaign built around it. Quote, unquote "I'm back."
[Verse 1]
Woo
Fuck your thirty-for-thirty, I'm one-on-one
Give enough rope, put opponents in double dutch
Singular focus, triple threat from the jump
Too much drive to fade away in these Nike Dunks
Eat rappers for breakfast, songwriters for lunch
Catch up, go hard in the paint and the clutch
Let a lame block my lane—pass, school me to your game—pass
Yeah, I'll pass on everything but the buck, woo
Game tied, strong D, mean offence
Wannabes claim goat, please, you ain't even top ten
Couple seasons past beginner's luck
A few multi-plat' beyond givin' a fuck, yeah
These monsters nonsense, your beast modes, I don't see those
I guess you're Loch Ness, I'm Stockton on free throw
Got hits, yeah, heaps of those
Franchise player, take a loss on the chin, but keep goin'
Better devil, the one you know
How you tall poppies? Your stats shorter than Muggsy Bogues
Please, I'm all ears, no lie
I'm Paul Pierce on the mic, no question, I'm AI
Losin' don't compute, me and Bluff alley-oop
I will not rest long as there's shots left to shoot
Play ball, man, I'm on my best, when it's war, ain't no run I test
I run press, I am not impressed
Don the 1s for the title defense
Brushed every rival's advance, say hi to the bench
Posted up inside of they heads, fuck walls over beds
I'ma posterise your life, tryna follow me steps, woo
Me verse a whole [?]
'Cause in a fair one, you're lost before a ball been kicked, yeah
Y'all wouldn't know what longevity is
Empires rise and fall but legacies live
[Chorus]
"Ball so hard"
"[?]"
"Ball so hard"
"Bitch, you wasn't with me shootin' in the gym"
"Ball so hard"
"Bitch, you wadn't with me shootin' in the gym"
"[?]" "Ball so hard"
"When I come back like Jordan it ain't to play games wit'chu"
[Verse 2]
Yeah, pick your role
Either be inside it or be inspired
Push peers to leave, retire or reach higher
Process the desire, one (Boomshacalacka)
Two ([?]), three (He's on fire)
Stay three steps ahead before I bounce: travel
Only final scores count: actual
All star, bring that all razzle dazzle
Make things complicated now: Avril
Better skate, boy
Never catch me on a break, boy, no pool table to sink an eight, boy
Up late, no wake 'n' bake, this a cakewalk
Man, all my joints got 808s, boy
Teamwork make the dream work, listen
I still put my town on my back: Kawhi Leonard
They go for my lane, ashamed the shoes ain't fit 'em
Since all they songs got my footprints in 'em, argh
Play their game in my image: Jerry West
I will not lose, Nas and Jigga said it best
Try, then catch an L, try again, add apostrophe s
I do me thing, nothing but net (Woo)
I love this game
Stay afloat as the currents change, let's go, what's another ring?
Man, it's like Jordan to the Magic
They only champions of the East in my absence
I got the league shook off the crossover
Got hype, got Js, [?]
Live from where you'd rather be, no Corona
Know the wolves [?] my timber: Minnesota
I hit the quota then excel
I never ask nothin' I don't demand of myself
Rather be the bad guy than lead as his standers fell
'Cause history's written by what winners tell, like yeah
[Chorus (Extended)]
"Ball so hard"
"Tell [?]"
"Ball so hard"
"Bitch, you wasn't with me shootin' in the gym"
"Ball so hard"
"Bitch, you wadn't with me shootin' in the gym"
"Tell [?]" "Ball so hard"
"When I come back like Jordan it ain't to play games wit'chu"
"Ball so hard"
"Tell [?]"
"Ball so hard"
"Bitch, you wasn't with me shootin' in the gym"
"Ball so hard"
"Bitch, you wadn't with me shootin' in the gym"
"Tell [?]" "Ball so hard"
"When I come back like Jordan it ain't to play games wit'chu"
"Ball so hard"
"Ball so hard"
"Ball so hard"
"Ball so hard"
"When I come back like Jordan it ain't to play games wit'chu"
