Gonna ball, like I never did ball before

Yeah

Gonna ball, like I never did ball before

I may never get a break like this in life no more

I got money in my pocket

I ain't begging for friends

Cadillac eldorado

And it's gone to my head

Short time to live

Long time to stay dead

I ain't doin' no favours

I ain't asking for none

Cause I got money

I can pay for my fun

That's the way I want it

That's the way it must be done

Gonna ball, like I never did ball before

Yeah

Gonna ball, like I never did ball before

I may never get a break like this in life no more

I said little mama

We're gonna jump and shout

When that Eldorado holds up

And I can walk it out

I wanna stay pretty baby

You don't know what it's all about

I want no special woman

I want no special friend

I want a good time today yeah

Tomorrow I may be down again

Don't dial my number

I'll tell you when

Gonna ball, like I never did ball before

Yeah

Gonna ball, like I never got balled before

I may never get a break like this in life no more

What'd I tell ya

Gonna ball, like I never did ball before

Yeah

Gonna ball, like I never did ball before

I may never get a break like this in life no more

I got money in my pocket

I ain't begging for friends

Cadillac eldorado

And it's gone to my head

Short time to live

Long time to stay dead

I ain't doin' no favours

I ain't asking for none

Cause I got money

I can pay for my fun

That's the way I want it

That's the way it must be done

Gonna ball, like I never did ball before

Yeah

Gonna ball, like I never got balled before

I may never get a break like this in life no more
