    It's all about the ducks, mane
    The stash spot tucked, mane
    A hundred packs stacked inside
    My Cadillac truck, mane
    It came from cross the border
    I bring 'em cross the state line
    And if they catch me wit 'em I
    Ain't finna do no state time
    But see I'm trill
    If they get me I'ma take mine

    Oooh reppin and retrievin', hustlin'
    Dollar danglin' pockets used to be leakin'
    But now my pockets hangin'
    I came in the game with a
    Prayer and a wish and
    A hope and a dream tryin' to do my thing
    With a digital beam and a mayonnaise jar and
    A razor blade and an ounce of cream
    Posted on magazine with a Mini-14
    Servin' them fiends in the
    Middle of the night
    Tryin' to get my money right
    Gettin' my dick sucked in the broad daylight
    Clockwork, work around the clock
    By myself when I go clock
    Roosters, chickens, geeses, hawks
    On the block goin block for block

    I used to be the smallest of
    Ballers but now I'm taller
    It's a shame what that 'caine and
    That soda did with that water
    Ask your mother or your father
    Your sister or either daughter
    Or them ballin' ass pimpin' ass
    Niggas from Port Arthur
    I'm a starter, I go harder
    Mix the soft in the pot hit the hood
    Up to no good with jugs and whatnot
    All gas, no brakes, no shake, just rocks
    Been gettin gooder with a gang of chocks
    It don't stop

    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    Comin down grippin' wood
    Keepin these motherfuckin' bitches
    Callin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    Comin' down grippin' wood
    Keepin these motherfuckin' bitches
    Callin' nigga

    Ghetto superstar, with candy on my car
    Apple cranberry juice mixed with the bar
    28 inches in the air we are
    Two pimp niggas in the area
    With them PA niggas, Rap-A-Lot mob
    Salute to the president and
    I don't mean Barack
    Fire up the sticky, let the champagne pop
    And the big thick yellows to
    They knees best drop

    Yeah I used to be the smallest
    Now I'm tallest on the yard
    I'm straight up hard, I'm smilin' like Bob
    I'm pimp type MJ, act like you done heard of
    Mister mind my own business
    I'm the lesbian converter
    It's brains at the top
    At the bottom assholes
    I done grew into a whale
    From a fuckin tadpole
    I ain't playin', I can look
    Y'all mean straight face
    I'm back like Kobe Bryant after rape case
    Boy!

    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    Comin down grippin' wood
    Keepin these motherfuckin' bitches
    Callin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    Comin' down grippin' wood
    Keepin these motherfuckin' bitches
    Callin' nigga

    You lookin' at a nigga that
    Went from puppy to dog from tadpole to frog
    From pig to a motherfuckin' Hogg
    I be smokin' on a swisha
    That's bigger than a log
    And makin' up a batch that's
    As creamy as eggnog
    The feds log every move that I make
    So I keep on switchin'
    Clothes, switchin' cars, switchin' plates
    They ride behind me undercover in the Rover
    I cross over four lanes of traffic
    To fuck them hoes over, hol' up

    Most drug dealers doin' life in the pen
    Or spend they last 90, 000 on a droptop Benz
    Uhh, and I'm a Trill representer
    I pray every night but I still Ride Dirty
    I'm a sinner if he try me I'll leave his
    Shit on his lunch kit
    Sometimes I wonder how I got
    Off in this fuck shit
    Then I look around at the cars and
    The clothes and the jewels and hoes
    Ain't no secret, it's all exposed

    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    Comin down grippin' wood
    Keepin these motherfuckin' bitches
    Callin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    I used to be the smallest nigga
    Now I'm the big ballin' nigga
    Comin' down grippin' wood
    Keepin these motherfuckin' bitches
    Callin' nigga Writer/s: 0 Stevens, Bernard Freeman, Chad Butler, Larry Jones, Marlon Goodwin, Premro Smith
