We Be Ballin'

"We Be Ballin'" is an unreleased remix of We Be Clubbin by Ice Cube. 

It features Michael Jackson and Shaquille O'Neal. 


The remix was recorded in 1998 for a scrapped compilation album set to be released by NBA in the same year. The entire project was scrapped due to a strike against them. 



The "Master Mix" and "Street Mix" leaked online on June 21, 2008. 


The demo leaked a year later on April 30, 2009. This version features a different vocal take by Michael.

I love this game, yeah
Haha, haha, haha!
Yeah!

We be balling
Everybody likes sort of plays we calling
Your team falling
We ain't stalling
We just slamming and jamming
Like it ain't nothing wrong

(Booya!) It's back
The NBA's where it's at
We the max
VIP's, watching Shaq stacking up the numbers
Back in the promise stunnah
You ought a check him smarter or a little harder
Now we can fall on land, air and water
Catch a dollar chain harder then you think she ought a
You have to order the smarter
Any team like that
Jordan me and Shaq
A dream team pack
Watch my man Allen and I, take it to the rim!
Two minutes left and we winning by ten
We proudly win, we all --?-- up
(Boo!) You in my house, you get no love

We be balling
Everybody likes sort of plays we calling
Your team falling
We ain't stalling
We just slamming and jamming
Like it ain't nothing wrong
(Bring it) Get your ball on!

Nothing you can say, nothing you can do
We be balling you, we be balling you
No one to defeat, you'll see what we can do
We be balling you, we be balling you

Baby like Rolls Royce
Rashaun for short
Keep my flow
Like low punks
Nice and swift
Priceless gift
The part of we hitting
Bigger your bruise
Better field no excuses
Say play at you lose
Pay my dues
Ice Cube is with me
We quite nifty
Ballers making history
By being quick as 50
You ballers, with daisy champ baby
What's your thing
They don't go whoever, whenever
Emitten' angst (Yeah, Yeah!)

I been balling
Shaq calling
There's another game played
LIVE 98' for the fame
Ice Cube, do these kids wanna be him
They die and trade for, --?--- Colosseum
We ain't bet you, kill balling
Forward thrust, crossover left-right
Carved in the dust (What!)
Haha, haha, What! (What!)

We be balling
Everybody likes sort of plays we calling
Your team falling
We ain't stalling
We just slamming and jamming
Like it ain't nothing wrong
Get your ball on!

Nothing you can say, nothing you can do
We be balling you, we be balling you
No one to defeat, you'll see what we can do
We be balling you, we be balling you

I'm MVP,
So what's up now?
The number two team
Just touchdown
Watch me as I can
I put myself over to the floor
And not going in for the score
It's pulling off my flow
They start to push and shove
The skills us possess
Must come from up above
Look, for everybody waiting on us
And scrub, for everybody hating on us
Their waiting on us
A day only visiting
And their trying to come to my house, and when
I see you watching me, but I'm the flybird
And I can take you to the home, like the doctor (Watch)

As I see her getting home
Does she know
That I'm a superstar?
Don't they know who we are
We going all the way baby
We going win this war

Nothing you can say, nothing you can do
We be balling you, we be balling you
No one to defeat, you'll see what we can do
We be balling you, we be balling you

So hard to defeat, we love just to compete
We be balling you, we be balling you
Hate to make you plead, we'll bring you to your knees
We be balling you, we be balling you

Shake them off, shake them off, take them off
For the real, for the real, we rock them in
Shake them off, shake them off, take them off
For the real, for the real, we rock them in

We be balling, we be balling
We be balling, we be balling
We be balling, we be Balling
We be balling

Dream Away

"Dream Away" is an unreleased song by Michael Jackson scrapped from his studio album Bad. The song was written and recorded in December, 1982, a week after Thriller was released. The song is co-produced with Steve Porcaro, who previously made Human Nature, with which Dream Away shares many similarities.

On November 15th 2022, a low quality recording of the song from Steve Porcaro's seminars leaked online. We could sail away our dreams to our Never Neverland We could kiss the world and wish upon a distant star I could say the future, hope for us has different promises And the answers lie deep inside your lovely eyes I could look inside your mind and tell that you’re far away Don’t say a word, just let me whisper inside your ear I could see that you are trying hard to be my frien...

You saw he did not run And that my daddy had no gun In the middle of a village Way in a distant land Lies a poor boy with his broken toy Too young to understand He's awaken, ground is shaking His father grabs his hand Screaming, crying, his wife's dying Now he's l...
