Ballie Lyrics

(Intro)
DJ!
Bong, Ballie
Bong, bong, bong
Ballie
Everything, everything

(Pre-Chorus: Kah-Lo)
Girls go, go wild
I make girls go, go wild
I make girls go, go wild
I make -- now you ain't know? You still tryna front
Girls go, go wild
I make girls go, go wild
I make girls go, go wild
I make, the best, just tryna front, ay

(Chorus: Kah-Lo)
This the hottest DJ in the world right now
All them other deejays!, they ain't see it coming
I be getting in and I'm about to show you how
Now you ain't know?!
Better start

(Verse 1: Kah-Lo)
I make the girls go wild
I shut the whole club down
I make the loudest sound
Tell them give me my crown
Ballie [?] my hometown, town, ay
I want the best, but you still tryna front
Just tell yourself, I'm who you wish to be
I have everything, everything
You wanted me
Ballie [?] my crown, tell them
I make the girls go, go wild
Ballie [?] my crown, tell them
I make the girls go, go wild
(Chorus: Kah-Lo)
This the hottest DJ in the world right now
All them other deejays!, they ain't see it coming
I be getting in and I'm about to show you how
Now you ain't know?!
Better start

(Bridge: Kah-Lo, Idris Elba)
Ballie [?] my crown
Ballie [?] my crown, tell them
Now you ain't know?!
Ballie [?] my crown
Ballie [?] my crown, tell them
Now you ain't know?!
Better start running

(Verse 2: Idris Elba)
I smack in the game about
I'm smacking my chain about
Keep my name out your mouth
Keep my name on your mind
I'm about getting the grime
I'm about holding the floor
Coachella give me some more
It's about to go off
Off, yeah, bom, Ballie
That means it's ready and good
That means it's big in the hood
And I'm big in the hood
It's good
Fuck what they talkin' bout
'Bout to just take them out
Everything, everything
Bong, bong, bong
Bong, bong, ballie
Everything, everything
Bong, bong, bong
Bong, bong, ballie
(Chorus: Kah-Lo, Idris Elba)
This the hottest DJ in the world right now
All them other deejays, they ain't see it coming
I be getting in and I'm about to show you how
Now you ain't know?!
Better start running

(Outro)
Bong, bong, bong
Bong, bong, ballie
Everything, everything
Bong, ballie
Bong, bong, bong, ballie
Bong, ballie
Bong, ballie
Bong, ballie

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
