Lyrics
[Intro]
You can get anything you want
You know what I'm sayin'?
You want that over there, you want that over there?
Got you
[Chorus]
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
[Verse 1]
I was up late night ballin', so far from my past misfortune
No sleepin' late nights, no eatin'
Gun squeezing, I'm a real Artesian
Ramona, I was 'round that corner
Still down, I'm a Norf Norf soldier
G slide right down Sawyer
When we slide you won't see morning
Another story of a young Black man
Tryna make it up out that jam, goddamn
Back back, let me make my bands, got plans
If you hatin', don't shake my hand, take it easy, homie
Reminiscin' sittin' in that Benz of the 22 bus stop
Way back when with a .22, five shot, eyes on scan for the
Click, clack, clap or the boop, bop, bam, cuz
[Chorus]
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
[Verse 2]
It's funny how I was goin' crazy not too long ago
Women problems every morning like the Maury show
Swimmin' upstream when I'm tryna keep my bread from the sharks
Made me wanna put the hammer to my head
At the park politikin' with the kids, tryna get 'em on a straight path
But the lames mad, know they hate to see me make cash
That's a space dash
In the foreign with the GPS addressed to ya momma house
Compensation conversation's what I'm all about
Took the smart route, I've never been marked out
Shoulda been dead broke, shoulda been chalked out
But it didn't happen, now it's time to get it crackin'
Quarter backing like I'm 40 Water, mix the holy water with the Voss
Wanna be the boss then you gotta pay the cost
Learnin' from the Dogg, I'm from Long Beach
That's the city where skinny carry strong heat
[Chorus]
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
[Chorus]
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
I was up late night ballin'
Countin' up hundreds by the thousand
