Just Havin' A Ball - De La Soul

[Dave:]

Yeah... it's De La

You know we up in here, just doin what we gotta do

This joint right here we call "Just Havin a Ball"

Just havin a ball, y'know

See my lady really don't like me when I be

Sayin the things I be sayin in my rhymes but

You know I'm just havin a ball

They say Dave got it bad for these broads on tour

These thick legs, Lego and Rubix Cube

Tyco, night glow, butt-ass nude

He got Monopoly's on 'em from the Bronx to the bank

Got the battle - "He sank my Battleship!"

I put a sock on my robot and box the all night

Play the head to head, never went all pro

At the halftime performance she the halftime show

A part time sucker, I implore the game (word up)

She quick to dodge-balls, avoidin the face stain

Jack-in-the-box, nah that ain't no haps

I need that Mrs. Potato Head in my lap

In checkers and chess I do a big cut bounce

36 ounces of hula hoop hips

I'm shootin for that Duck Hunt, that Dan Quayle tail

What I gotta spell it out? I'm about to campaign

For that President Bush, damn I declare war

Bring on some of your friends, matter fact, the next whore

[Pos:]

Alright I'm tryin to have a ball without all that girl talk

Cause my girl wouldn't like that either

So I'm I'm tryin to stay away from that

Aww fuck it, I'm hot

Let me, let me do it, let me do it a lil' bit

Aiyyo "Gimme That," that Lil' Webbie & Bun B

I used to mash Lil' Debbie up in 1-D

Those were the days, but days don't change

So we still get it on just to keep it all the same and it's

Routine to rock roll and rip shows

Across the zip codes and fold the thick loads

Of information inside your earlobes

We are the high end thread for your mere clothes

Outside of the box is where you'll find us

Those who find to it, step behind us

It's not about the lead, we not tryin to be

The heir to the throne but the air that you breathe and it's

Protocol for us to get at y'all

With a face filled with game

We play without the cheat codes, we don't need those to rock

Close the do' in our face, best believe we gon' knock

Let us in y'all

[Dave:]

Yeah that's right

It's De La, that's how we do

We just have a ball everytime we have a ball

Now make sure y'all look out

For the TV series, this is part one, "The Impossible Mission"

We gon' have two and three

Aiyyo Why, part two point five, hahaha

That's how we do it y'all

Shout out to my man Maseo

Shout out to my man Prince Paul

Shout out to everybody out there, De La family

You know how we do

Just havin a ball, I just like talkin

I don't really talk too much, I'm just havin a ball

Yeah

Shout out to A Tribe Called Quest, you know how we do it

Yeah

Shout out to cuttin the record off~!
