[Intro] Ripley in the hallway Eyes locked, tail twitch One toy in her whole world You already know which [Verse 1] Got a red little rocket, Boston blur Whole house hers, but the ball owns her She tap-taps paws like a ticking clock Heartbeat jumps every time that I walk Drop it at my feet, head tilt, that stare I just sat down, do you even care? Turn my head once and she’s in my face Like “I brought you joy, so throw this, ace” (hey!) [Chorus] Damn girl, ball is life Every single day, same fight “Just leave me alone” She’s like “yeah right” Back again, that crazy shine in her eyes Ripley’s on a mission And the mission never dies Damn girl, ball is life Yeah, ball is life [Verse 2] Step in the yard, she’s already gone Sprint so hard, grass ripped from the lawn She’ll trip, flip, slide, mud on her nose Pop back up, that’s just how it goes Phone in my hand, “let me text this dude” She drops that ball like “interrupt your mood” I fake one throw, she bites on air Looks back offended like “how you dare?” (woah) [Chorus] Damn girl, ball is life Every single day, same fight “Just leave me alone” She’s like “yeah right” Back again, that crazy shine in her eyes Ripley’s on a mission And the mission never dies Damn girl, ball is life Yeah, ball is life [Bridge] [beat drops, guitars and violin get tense] Male: I’m tryna chill on the couch, eyes low She pacing circles like “we still got throws” Female: You say “enough,” but she heard “go” Spin on a dime, she stole the show (ooh) Both: Fun and goofy, wild little queen Every scuff on the wall, that’s her routine If obsession was a dog, then you met her Name’s Ripley, and nothing’s better [Chorus] Damn girl, ball is life Every single day, same fight “Just leave me alone” She’s like “yeah right” From sunrise sparks to late-night sighs She drops that dream Right between my feet every time Damn girl, ball is life Yeah, ball is life (Ripley) Damn girl, ball is life Ball is life
