Baller Lyrics by KAIYI

People Mountain People Sea

2024

[Intro]
(I wanna be, I wanna be, I)
I didn't think you'd be a baller

[Verse 1]
Woah, you better take that back
Uh, you better take that back, okay
I bet you didn't like the fact that
I could back that
With a flick and a swish and then call it a day
'Cause I wanna be, I wanna be, I
Say, what's it gonna be, girl, what you wanna be?
I-I (Come on, say it)
Shit, think I wanna be a baller

[Verse 2]
So I'll walk my walk now I've said it
If these walls could talk, I would let it
Alley-oop just for the aesthetic
These thoughts won't stop 'til I get it
Now my bedroom a stadium
(You know me, I wouldn't make it up)
If you're coming for the screen I'll say to ya
(Can you stop that?)

[Chorus]
Feet apart, keep your eye on the target
Elbows in with a touch of a scarlеtt
Follow through, you should end with a bargain
(But you better think likе an artist)

[Verse 3]
Uh, 'cause I wanna be a baller
You can laugh if you want to
我实在是不敢偷懒
'Cause I can't afford to
我想进步就是辛苦
寻找幸福需要
一步一步一步的来
不能嫉妒如果迷路
一定记住这是艺术的
一步一步一部分

[Verse 4]
Now I got a call
Luke from sound on
Hope he doesn't think I'm a fluke
He can count on me
'Cause I'm boutta make a hit that I'm proud of
Boutta shoot from the ground up
So what's a girl to do with her degree in economics?
What's the ROI? I don't really get the logic
What are options?
Put my stocks in Ableton and I'm locked in

[Chorus]
(Come on, say it) Feet apart, keep your eye on the target
Elbows in with the touch of a scarlett
Follow through, you should end with a bargain
Watch it spin, get the fuck out of college
I'm beginning to feel the catharsis
Inner critic no longer the harshest
I'm doin' it, I'm doin' it
(Oh and) I'm starting to think like an artist

[Post-Chorus]
(Uh) Say it again, what you scared of?
You don't wanna know the truth (You don't wanna know the truth)
You don't wanna know the truth (Never really liked the-)
Sing it from your chest (Do you wanna know the truth?)
Never really liked the spotlight

[Verse 5]
I wanna take it back
Uh, can I take it back, okay
Don't you know I don't have what it takes (I don't have what it takes)
I'mma step back, fade away
Why'd you egg me on like that
You knew I could never be a baller
I should get a white collar (so I do)
'Cause when it hurts my mom, it hurts me too

(Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up)

[Verse 6]
Wasn't even good at violin
Can't sing for shit but I'm trying
Do you ever forget why you're trying?
身体要不要了？
It's so tiring
I can't be the only one
(This freedom's terrifying)
Say, do you feel it too?

[Bridge]
But it's okay, feet apart
It's okay, play the part
It's okay, play it smart
Eyes on the target
And that's a-

[Hook]
There's you and me and there's them (okay)
There's you and me and there's them (right)
There's you and me and there's them
There's you and me, do you get it?
There's you and me and there's them (look at me, you got it)
There's you and me and there's them (look at me)
There's you and me (Don't stop)
And there's you and me
There's you and me

[Outro]
So there's just you and me
We should ball like no one else can see
Forget the score, our referee
They're rotten to the core
I mean it's expectations galore but
I couldn't want this more
I wanna be varsity, all-star
Think fast, play hard

Uh (don't wanna fuck it up)
We ball (uh, yeah)
We ball (can't fuck it up)
So we ball (won't fuck it up)
