Lyrics of 'Hardball' by Jermaine Dupri

[Jermaine Dupri]
Throw me the ball and watch me what I do with it
We got Bow Wow in the house
My man Lil' Zane,huh, Lil' Wayne
Sammie sang to me

[Sammie]
Strike one, got you by surprise
Strike two, right before your eyes
Pitch three, this ones to the wall
Ain't no fun like a game of Hardball

(Lil' Bow Wow)
When I step to the plate the outfielders get back (back)
Cuz they know I'm the over the wall type of dog (aha)
So many back to back hits they call me little Sammy Sosa
Bubble gum cards, and all of the posters
Y'all know how I roast ya when it's time to compete
On the field, on the court, over any hot beat, or break
And you know it when you see your clone
And right now that's all I see goin on, holla at me
Game time, all I think about is bringing home the trophy
If your team is better than mine, you really gotta show me
Really gotta beat me, really gotta trash talk
Mistreat me, to send my squad back home
Cuz I don't loose to much
Matter fact, I ain't never lost at all
When I'm playin Hardball (that's right)
So, if you on the mound about to pitch to me
Understand I'm like Griffey, I keep 'em to the wall

[Sammie]
Strike one, caught you by surprise
Strike two, right before your eyes
Strike three, ohh I got you out
Without a doubt, I got you out

Strike one, caught you by surprise
Strike two, right before your eyes
Pitch three, this one's to the wall
Ain't no fun like a game of Hardball

[Lil' Zane]
This goes out to them jocks that stay on my jock, throwin' the pop
Keep pithcin', I'm in the kitchen makin' radio rock
It's usually preferred, I be choosey with all my words
Throwin
