Mustard on the beat, ho
I put the new Forgi's on the G
I trap until the bloody bottoms is underneath
'Cause all my nigg*s got it out the streets
I keep a hunnid racks, inside my jeans
I remember hittin' the mall with the whole team
Now a nigg* can't answer calls 'cause I'm ballin'
I was wakin' up gettin' racks in the mornin'
I was broke now I'm rich, these nigg*s salty
All this designer on my body got me drip, drip (ay)
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 nigg*s, I didn't forget, bet
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 nigg* 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 bird bath
Cut off the brain and I give my bitch a new coupe
Either you frontin' y'all gang or y'all suwoop
Got a New Orleans bitch and man that puss* voodoo
And I'm that nigg* now, who knew?
I put the new Forgi's on the G
I trap until the bloody bottoms is underneath
'Cause all my nigg*s got it out the streets
I keep a hunnid racks, inside my jeans
I remember hittin' the mall with the whole team
Now a nigg* can't answer calls 'cause I'm ballin'
I was wakin' up gettin' racks in the mornin'
I was broke now I'm rich, these nigg*s salty
I been wakin' up to get the money, whoa, whoa
Got a bad bitch, her ass tatted, whoa, whoa
Givenchy to my toes, two twins I'm f*cking 'em both
I put in a new AP, the water like a boat
I was down bad on my dick, where was you nigg*s 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, f*ck 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 dojo like a sensei
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
I put the new Forgi's on the G
I trap until the bloody bottoms is underneath
'Cause all my nigg*s got it out the streets
I keep a hunnid racks, inside my jeans
I remember hittin' the mall with the whole team
Now a nigg* can't answer calls 'cause I'm ballin'
I was wakin' up gettin' racks in the mornin'
I was broke now I'm rich, these nigg*s salty
I, ay yeah
I've been ballin' lil' nigg*
Now watch me ball on these nigg*s
Yeah, now watch me ball on these nigg*s, yeah
Now watch me ball on these nigg*s
Now watch me ball on these nigg*s, yeah yeah
In "Ballin’" by Mustard and Roddy Ricch, the song begins with the introduction "Mustard on the beat, ho," an iconic phrase that has become a signature of Mustard’s production. The first verse and chorus celebrate the success of the rapper’s music career, as he reflects on his past when he was broke and unable to go shopping with his friends. Now, he is rich and famous, and he cannot answer calls because he is too busy living the high life of luxury. The second verse reflects on the rapper's love life and his partnership with a woman who understands his struggles and success. The final chorus is all about showing off his new wealth and how he is balling on his haters.
The song represents Ricch's braggadocious and co*cky personality, with references to his Chevrolet G and his designer clothes. The rapper takes pride in being rich and showing it off, as he celebrates everything he can do with his money. At the same time, he remembers his humble beginnings and how he worked hard to get to where he is now. The song provides a glimpse of his perceived reality of success and his satisfaction of being who he is today.
Mustard on the beat, ho
Mustard produced the instrumental for this song
I put the new Forgi's on the G
I purchased new Forgi rims for my car
I trap until the bloody bottoms is underneath
I work hard to earn money until my shoes are worn out
'Cause all my nigg*s got it out the streets
My friends and I made money selling drugs on the streets
I keep a hunnid racks, inside my jeans
I always carry one hundred thousand dollars in cash with me
I remember hittin' the mall with the whole team
I fondly recall shopping at the mall with my friends
Now a nigg* can't answer calls 'cause I'm ballin'
Now that I'm rich and successful, I'm too busy to take phone calls
I was wakin' up gettin' racks in the mornin'
I used to wake up early to make money
I was broke now I'm rich, these nigg*s salty
I used to be poor but now I'm wealthy and successful, which makes some people jealous
All this designer on my body got me drip, drip (ay)
I'm wearing expensive designer clothing and jewelry that looks great on me
Straight up out the Yajects, I'm a big Crip
I grew up in the projects and I'm a prominent member of the Crips gang
If I got a pint of lean, I'ma sip, sip
If I have some codeine syrup, I will drink it
I run the racks up with my queen, like London and Nip
I make lots of money with my girlfriend, just like London and Nipsey Hussle did
But I got rich on all these nigg*s, I didn't forget, bet
I became wealthy at the expense of other people, but I haven't forgotten where I came from
I had to go through the struggle, I didn't forget that
I experienced hardship and poverty, which has helped me appreciate my success
I hopped inside of the Maybach and now I can sit back
I purchased a luxurious Maybach car and now I can relax and enjoy my wealth
These bitches know me now, 'cause I got them big racks
Women are now interested in me because I have a lot of money
'Cause I'm gettin' money now, I know you heard that
I'm making a lot of money now and people are aware of it
Young nigg* on the corner, bitch I had to serve crack
I used to sell crack cocaine on the street when I was younger
Uncle fronted me some P's had to get them birds back
My uncle gave me some drugs to sell and I had to retrieve them after they were stolen
We came up on dirty money, I gave it a bird bath
We made money through illegal means, but I tried to clean it up
Cut off the brain and I give my bitch a new coupe
I bought a new car for my girlfriend
Either you frontin' y'all gang or y'all suwoop
You either claim to be a gang member or you're a Blood
Got a New Orleans bitch and man that puss* voodoo
I have a woman from New Orleans who has very alluring qualities
And I'm that nigg* now, who knew?
I'm now a successful and popular figure, which is surprising
I been wakin' up to get the money, whoa, whoa
I've been getting up early to earn money
Got a bad bitch, her ass tatted, whoa, whoa
I have an attractive girlfriend with tattoos on her buttocks
Givenchy to my toes, two twins I'm f*cking 'em both
I'm wearing Givenchy clothing and I'm having sex with twin women
I put in a new AP, the water like a boat
I bought a new Audemars Piguet watch and the diamonds on it sparkle like water
I was down bad on my dick, where was you nigg*s at?
I was in a bad situation and none of my friends helped me out
I know you turned your back on me, just to get some racks
I'm aware that some of my friends abandoned me to pursue money
I seen you swerve back, 'cause I'm in the black 'Bach
I noticed that you returned to my life when you saw I had a black Maybach
New diamonds on me, f*ck a flash this ain't SnapChat
I have new diamond jewelry that I'm showing off, but I'm not doing it for social media
'Cause I been gettin' paid
I've been making a lot of money recently
Yellow diamonds on me look like lemonade
The yellow diamonds in my jewelry are very bright and eye-catching
Got my baby mama that new Bentayga
I bought a new Bentley SUV for the mother of my child
Tryna get the dojo like a sensei
I'm trying to achieve mastery in my field or career
Rolls Royce umbrellas when I'm in the rain
I use Rolls Royce branded umbrellas to stay dry when it's raining
I just mind my business
I focus on my own affairs and don't involve myself in others' problems
I got brothers that did the time, I ain't kiddin'
I have friends who went to prison and I'm not joking about it
All these rappers just talk about it, I live it
Many of my peers only rap about their lifestyle, but I actually live it
Goin' up, I ain't got no sky limit, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm constantly increasing my success and I have no bounds or limitations
I've been ballin' lil' nigg*
I've been enjoying a wealthy and luxurious lifestyle
Now watch me ball on these nigg*s
I'm going to show everyone how successful and powerful I am
Yeah, now watch me ball on these nigg*s, yeah
I'm going to continue to flaunt my success and wealth to impress others
Now watch me ball on these nigg*s
I'm going to demonstrate my power and success once again
Now watch me ball on these nigg*s, yeah yeah
I'm going to continue to show off my wealth and success to everyone around me
