And my life so Tron Open up a door and the light turns on Clap clap and the light theres gone I press a button and the voice says DON Yeah! Now we all getting accolades Nice one, high five For the win Happy days No jet pack yet Little set back Couple years check back Bet I got a jet pack Bet I got a house what floats Bet I got my short sight fixed with no lazers Figgas get shook like tasers Thinking of it all Not me bubba This is the way we BALL
[Verse 2] Sometimes ain't all that it seems Woke up last night, I was meme Kids from 4 chan oh so mean Left death threats on my answer machine Thank goodness, that was just a dream So I wake up to the my mobile BMF Plot my route on a website, TLF That shit's unbelievable - EMF I holla joey on the g chat "Wazzuuurp" He got a beat sez it sweet like sizzzuuuurp That pops right up in my drop box Wizard Got the flow, shits cold like blizzard I found a drawing I did when I was wee un The background was black, I had used a whole crayon Nowadays one click an I'm away on my Wacom Shout out the boffins wot make em Plus them guys made planes wot fly My hoverboad cometh I will touch sky Fore I die We already walk with the robots Talk with the robots Some guys pork with the robots And who am I to judge who's in their right mind Stevie Wonder will see in my lifetime! And that's not all Y'all Wonders are coming cos this the way we ball!

[Verse 3] Ain't nobody really knows where we're headed But if the revolution won't be televised Then it will be embedded
I go no reason to be going outside today I'll just download Nirvana Download Nirvana
I just think of a record and then I download it instantly
I remember when I spent all my money on records, cds, and blank cee nineties
50p is all it costs to download and mp3 from my shop 50p is all it costs
This is the way we ball
