Full lyrics of the song Ballin by Mustard and Roddy Rich are given below (I put the new forgis on the jeep)

[Intro]

I don’t really wanna go

I don’t really wanna stay

But I really hope and pray

Can we get it together?

Get it together

Mustard on the beat, ho

[Chorus: Roddy Ricch]

I put the new Forgis on the Jeep

I trap until the bloody bottoms is underneath

‘Cause all my niggas got it out the streets

I keep a hundred racks inside my jeans

I remember hittin’ the mall with the whole team

Now a nigga can’t answer calls ’cause I’m ballin’

I was wakin’ up, gettin’ racks in the morning

I was broke, now I’m rich, these niggas salty

[Verse 1: Roddy Ricch]

All this designer on my body got me drip, drip, ayy

Straight up out the Yajects, I’m a big Crip

If I got a pint of lean, I’ma sip, sip

I run the racks up with my queen like London and Nip

But I got rich on all these niggas, I didn’t forget, back

I had to go through the struggle, I didn’t forget that

I hopped inside of the Maybach and now I can sit back

These bitches know me now ’cause I got them big racks

‘Cause I’m gettin’ money now, I know you heard that

Young nigga on the corner, bitch, I had to serve crack

Uncle fronted me some P’s, had to get them birds back

We came up on dirty money, I gave it a birdbath

Cut off the brain and I give my bitch a new coupe

Either you from the Yah Gang or you’re SuWoop

Got a New Orleans bitch and man, that pussy voodoo

And I’m that nigga now, who knew?

[Chorus: Roddy Ricch]

I put the new Forgis on the Jeep

I trap until the bloody bottoms is underneath

‘Cause all my niggas got it out the streets

I keep a hundred racks inside my jeans

I remember hittin’ the mall with the whole team

Now a nigga can’t answer calls ’cause I’m ballin’

I was wakin’ up, gettin’ racks in the morning

I was broke, now I’m rich, these niggas salty

[Verse 2: Roddy Ricch]

I been wakin’ up to get the money, woah, woah

Got a bad bitch, her ass tatted, woah, woah

Givenchy to my toes, two twins, I’m fucking ’em both

I put her in a new AP, the water like a boat

I was down bad on my dick, where was you niggas at?

I know you turned your back on me just to get some racks

I seen you swerve back, ’cause I’m in the black ‘Bach

New diamonds on me, fuck a flash, this ain’t Snapchat

‘Cause I been gettin’ paid

Yellow diamonds on me look like lemonade

Got my baby mama that new Bentayga

Tryna get the dough, Joe, like a sensei, yeah

Rolls Royce umbrellas when I’m in the rain

I just mind my business

I got brothers that did the time, I ain’t kiddin’

All these rappers just talk about it, I live it

Goin’ up, I ain’t got no sky limit, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Roddy Ricch]

I put the new Forgis on the Jeep

I trap until the bloody bottoms is underneath

‘Cause all my niggas got it out the streets

I keep a hundred racks inside my jeans

I remember hittin’ the mall with the whole team

Now a nigga can’t answer calls ’cause I’m ballin’

I was wakin’ up, gettin’ racks in the morning

I was broke, now I’m rich, these niggas salty

[Outro: Roddy Ricch]

I, ayy, yeah

I’ve been ballin’, lil’ nigga

Now watch me ball on these niggas

Now watch me ball on these niggas

Now watch me ball on these niggas, yeah, yeah
