Lyrics

[Chorus]
I had my back against the wall
Been on my knuckles, had a lot and lost it all
Friends I used to know no longer speakin' anymore, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (They don't know me anymore)
They sayin' pray, but don't we all?
Unanswered prayers make you feel like God is not accepting call-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oohs
And I just wanna ball, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (And I just wanna ball)
Wishin' something fall through
[Verse 1]
Shots ringing, got the children duckin' under covers (Get down)
The older one preparin' supper for the youngest of them (Oh)
Oatmeal, hot dog weenies, and sugar bread
Father turned himself in, sort of feel like he should've fled (Yoom)
Mother fumblin' with a hand full of tricks (Damn)
Asking God for a hand with the rent (Shh)
Being fondled in the club when she strip
Tears got mascara runnin' down her lips
Sa-sa-save up enough, take the kids to the hills, but customers wanna see her do a split
How bad can it get?
Subjected to desperate measures just to get ahead
If all else fails, prevail, get the bread
[Chorus]
I had my back against the wall
Been on my knuckles, had a lot and lost it all
Friends I used to know no longer speakin' anymore, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (They don't know me anymore)
They sayin' pray, but don't we all?
Unanswered prayers make you feel like God is not accepting call-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oohs (Yeah)
And I just wanna ball, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (And I just wanna ball, yeah, yeah)
Wishin' something fall through
[Verse 2]
Uh, wishin' something fall though, bills due
Kids playin', momma prayin' and she crying in her room
Need some help, send it soon
Oldest boy cuttin' school
And she sniff another bag, it'll help escape her doom
Father gone, he been on same rock that he been smokin'
That's him knockin' at the door, don't let him in, he ain't focused (No)
Streets calling, getting critical, her son got a pistol too (Damn)
On the kitchen table, finding evidence of residue (Woah)
Crack, man, them kids sellin', turnin' them to young felons
Mama yellin', cryin' up to God, "Help me, dear heaven"
Wishing she could do it over, asking for another chance
See her babies growing colder, life is getting out of hand (Damn)
[Chorus]
I had my back against the wall
Been on my knuckles, had a lot and lost it all
Friends I used to know no longer speakin' anymore, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (They don't know me anymore)
They sayin' pray, but don't we all?
Unanswered prayers make you feel like God is not accepting call-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oohs (Yeah)
And I just wanna ball, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Money, and I just wanna ball, listen)
Wishin' something fall through
[Verse 3]
Life what you make it (Make it)
You want it? Take it (Ayy)
Can't be a gangster then you sign statements (What?)
Rather take care of my kids than be famous
Phew, mama level choices, a lot of invoices (Yeah)
Either feed the kids (Kids), or you feed your habit (Better)
Damn shame, she always go and feed her habit (Crack)
Wanna smoke 'til she eat, let me preach (Let me preach)
Don't go home for weeks, don't let me preach (Let me preach)
Man, there's realness in the ghetto (Ghetto)
My people get gas as soon as they hit the pedal (What?)
Meek ain't never lied, the life is really levels
See why L.A. **** take pebbles (Money)
[Chorus]
I had my back against the wall
Been on my knuckles, had a lot and lost it all
Friends I used to know no longer speakin' anymore, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (They don't know me anymore)
They sayin' pray, but don't we all?
Unanswered prayers make you feel like God is not accepting call-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oohs
And I just wanna ball, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (And I just wanna ball)
Wishin' something fall through
