Ballin’ Lyrics by Luke Mac

Australian Famous

2018

[Verse 1]
Step one, just get sick, so I can get off work with
A migraine, then a write day, but I’m fine, ayy, now I'm working
Step two, build the setlist, ticking goals off the checklists
Get my name on those guest lists, that's the chance for me to get rich
Till I’m living like a fucking rapper, G, nah dude, I won't rap for free
Give me money for my CD, so I can buy my girl a fucking Maccas feed
I'm a rapper trapping in this commonwealth, ain't rich, I’m making common wealth
Couple notches on this common belt, but this Centrelink line is a modern hell
When I’m up with the boys and we waiting together, man, bunch of rappers who wanna be better and
Cutting me off so I can’t pay for anything, guess living off rap wasn’t meant for me
So poor, when you in debt, to make you feel better, then they send for me
So torn, man I’ve been stressed, need a big cheque, at like twenty-three
But I’m

[Chorus]
Ballin’
Nah, l mean I’m really ballin’
At about twelve when I got this Spalding, want a new one but I can’t afford it
Yeah, I’m ballin’
Now I’m playing in my Jordans
They about three sizes small, and want a new pair, but I can’t afford 'em
Yeah, I’m ballin’
Nah, I mean I’m really ballin’
At about twelve when I got this Spalding, want a new one but I can’t afford it
Yeah, I’m ballin’
Now I’m playing in my Jordans
They about three sizes small, and want a new pair, but I can’t afford 'em
So I'm

[Verse 2]
Centrelink, time to meet your maker, this is your tape, on that Hannah Baker
Fuck thirteen reasons, I got two-k, that I owe, hey, I’m like see ya later
'Bout to break in from that elevator with a light sabre, on that Darth Vader
Get your staff faded, with a hay maker, but to those waiting, I’m a day maker
Asking more bout late payments, that's my cash you ain't takin it
Linking up to my bank account for that debit soon as I get paid
And I’m pissed off, all I want is to be making money like the 6 God
For those few, who follow this, yo, they found my shit up on a BitTorrent

[Chorus]
Ballin’
Nah, l mean I’m really ballin’
At about twelve when I got this Spalding, want a new one but I can’t afford it
Yeah, I’m ballin’
Now I’m playing in my Jordans
They about three sizes small, and want a new pair, but I can’t afford 'em
Yeah, I’m ballin’
Nah, I mean I’m really ballin’
At about twelve when I got this Spalding, want a new one but I can’t afford it
Yeah, I’m ballin’
Now I’m playing in my Jordans
They about three sizes small, and want a new pair, but I can’t afford 'em
So I'm

[Verse 3]
Coming straight outta Aldi (yeah) with those off brand noodles
And sure I got enough for the family (damn right), know that ya man’s frugal (woo)
On the walk back, in the daylight, yo, I found a twenty on the sidewalk (fuck yeah)
And on the windshield of my car, I parked that shit up in a fine zone (yeah, you did)
Fuck

[Chorus]
Ballin’
Nah, l mean I’m really ballin’
At about twelve when I got this Spalding, want a new one but I can’t afford it
Yeah, I’m ballin’
Now I’m playing in my Jordans
They about three sizes small, and want a new pair, but I can’t afford 'em
Yeah, I’m ballin’
Nah, I mean I’m really ballin’
At about twelve when I got this Spalding, want a new one but I can’t afford it
Yeah, I’m ballin’
Now I’m playing in my Jordans
They about three sizes small, and want a new pair, but I can’t afford 'em
So I'm ballin'
