Ball Alone lyrics

[Intro: Joey Bada$$]
Yo Power P, this a really dope beat
Haha (Facts though)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, yeah, aye

[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$]
Lately I been to myself, just how I felt
I do not need no one help
I just be stuck in my zone, leave me alone
Tell her "Quit callin' my phone"
Too many people take my kind for weak
Think I don't see just because I don't speak
Give 'em a foot and they taking your feet
Now you’re feeling defeated, you cannot believe it
Thinking of times that I been so mistreated
Lessons in life, man, I guess that I needed
Too many times, pull a knife out my back
As a matter of fact, man, a n*gga still bleeding
These days I don't know the meaning of friends
When was the last time they gave me a hand?
Startin' to think that, that sh*ts just a trend
'Cause we ball alone and die alone in the end
Ball alone and die alone in the end
sh*t was so real, had to say it again
n*ggas be snakes just disguised as your man
I cut n*ggas off now it's only the fam
I'm on my own team, and I stick to the plan
I keep it real, man, I never pretend
Mean with the face and they never gon' blam
Crabs in the bucket ain't ever gon' win
[Chorus: Joey Bada$$]
Ball alone, die alone, think I'm better on my own
I don't need you, no-no, I done gave it my all
I can't take it anymore, yeah
Nobody catching my falls, yeah
Where were you when I last called? Yeah
Negative energy all in my phone
I take the Hennessy straight to the dome
Ball alone, die alone, think I'm better on my own
I don't need you, no-no, I done gave it my all
I can't take it anymore, yeah
Nobody catching my falls, yeah
Where were you when I last called? Yeah
Negative energy all in my phone
I take the Hennessy straight to the dome

[Verse 2: Saba]
Uh, they call my phone, off and on
Convenient for them opportunes'
Spent time, I immediately invested for 'em
But I need it back like college loans
AI and I’m one, had to ball alone
For the days that we worked late all alone
They wanna ask me favors but I'm not winnin', they Dom Corleone
I got on Powers and Joey's song, goin' ape sh*t
Plus I act an ass like Donkey Kong
I said that I get there, it won't be long
n*ggas watch like "Oh, he on? How so?"
I guess I did buy a house though
Thought I was out my mind
I would never doubt my grind
If you in one, out, you get out that bind
Feelin' it's about that time
Can't be on the couch, recline
Now when we die alone and they get buried at the cemetery
No Mariah Carey, they break down
She dig it like fossils they found
I play my cards, a ace down
‘Til I'm playin' solitaire in the ground, yeah
[Chorus: Joey Bada$$]
Ball alone, die alone, think I'm better on my own
I don't need you, no-no, I done gave it my all
I can't take it anymore, yeah
Nobody catching my falls, yeah
Where were you when I last called? Yeah
Negative energy all in my phone
I take the Hennessy straight to the dome
Ball alone, die alone, think I'm better on my own
I don't need you, no-no, I done gave it my all
I can't take it anymore, yeah
Nobody catching my falls, yeah
Where were you when I last called? Yeah
Negative energy all in my phone
I take the Hennessy straight to the dome

[Outro: Joey Bada$$]
Ball alone, die alone, yeah
