Throw me the ball and watch what I do with it

We got Bow Wow in the house

My man Lil' Zane,huh, Lil' Wayne

Sammie sang to me

(Sammie)

Strike one, got you by surprise

Strike two, right before your eyes

Pitch three, this ones to the wall

Ain't no fun like a game of Hardball

(Lil' Bow Wow)

When I step to the plate the outfield gets back (back)

Cuz they know I'm the over the wall type of dog

So many back to back hits they call me little Sammy Sosa

Bubble gum cards, and all of the posters

Y'all know how I roast ya when it's time to compete

On the field, on the court, over any hot beat or break

And you know it when you see your clone

And right now that's all I see goin on, holla at me

Game time, all I think about is bringing home the trophy

If your team is better than mine, you really gotta show me

Really gotta beat me, really gotta trash talk

Mistreat me, to send my squad back home

Cuz I don't loose too much

Matter fact, I ain't never lost at all

When I'm playin Hardball (that's right)

So, if you on the mound about to pitch to me

Understand I'm like Griffey, I keep 'em to the wall

(Sammie)

Strike one, caught you by surprise

Strike two, right before your eyes

Strike three, ohh I got you out

Without a doubt, I got you out

Strike one, caught you by surprise

Strike two, right before your eyes

Pitch three, this one's to the wall

Ain't no fun like a game of Hardball

(Lil' Zane)

This goes out to them jocks that stay on my jock, throwin' the pop

Keep pithcin', I'm in the kitchen makin' radio rock

It's usually preferred, I be choosey with all my words

Throwin eggs at them chicken heads, beggin on the curb

Direct from my blurb, a fast baller with a curve

Have her slidin' home, tellin' her friends just in the third

I'm sure ya done heard, who I'm doin' and what I'm doin'

What's false and what's true an...girl listen

When it comes to this game they call me Zane McGwire

That other kid was just a Mark so I made him retire

See we all got a base, and we hold our own

But when I, come up to bat we gonna all come home

And our fans cheer us on cause the know what the drill is

Goin', out of the fields into your automobile

And I hope it ain't your Range Rover that you spent your change over

I'm in the dugout with my tounge out playing game over

(Sammie)

Strike one, caught you by surprise

Strike two, right before your eyes

Strike three, ohh I got you out

Without a doubt, I got you out

Strike one, caught you by surprise

Strike two, right before your eyes

Pitch three, this one's to the wall

Ain't no fun like a game of Hardball

(Lil' Wayne)

Listen, listen, listen

They call me Wheezy Rodriguez

You know I'm gettin' it hot as the bullet that killed Kennedy, y'know

And I keep the chrome bat swingin', swingin' that iron

Pitch on the block like Nolan Ryan

Too bad for TV, you won't see me when I'm right in the streets

I'm a hustler, people, my life in the streets

Watch the game, get your wife in the sheets

My watch, my chain and my teeth cost

That way I will never cheap talk

And I call mommy sweetheart, she call me sweet daddy

And she gladly, loves the way that daddy bat it, yeah baby

Wheezy Wheez a player baby, and I don't share baby

So if you're searching for some pussy ain't nothin' here baby

Catch me throwin' an eighty in the latest Bently, goin' out

And Wheezy never hit a foul, a hot guy

Don't hit pop flies, I knock it up out the park

And after the game's over we gon' meet up after dark

(Sammie)

Strike one, caught you by surprise

Strike two, right before your eyes

Strike three, ohh I got you out

Without a doubt, I got you out

Strike one, caught you by surprise

Strike two, right before your eyes

Pitch three, this one's to the wall

Ain't no fun like a game of Hardball

Strike one, caught you by surprise

Strike two, right before your eyes

Strike three, ohh I got you out

Without a doubt, I got you out

Strike one, caught you by surprise

Strike two, right before your eyes

Pitch three, this one's to the wall

Ain't no fun like a game of Hardball

Lil' Bow Wow, Lil' Zane, Lil' Wayne, Lil' Sammie

The Lil' Rascals, and me, y'all know my name
