Skee ball (also spelled skeeball or skee-ball; sometimes called skee roll) is a common arcade game and one of the first redemption games. It is similar to bowling except it is played on an inclined lane with fist-sized balls and the player aims to get the ball to fall into a hole rather than knock down pins. The object of the game is to collect as many points as possible by rolling balls up an incline and into the designated point value holes.
J. Dickinson Este invented the game in 1909 in Philadelphia. In 1935 the Wurlitzer Corporation purchased the Skee-Ball rights and sold them in 1945 to the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, an amusement park ride manufacturer. In 1977 the Philadelphia Toboggan Company set up Skee-Ball, Inc. to market the game, now located in Chalfont, Pennsylvania.
When Maurice Piesen first sold Skee-Ball alleys in 1914 to the outdoor amusement park industry (the stock was held by nine-year-old Maurice on behalf of his father, Hugo Piesen), the game had a 36-foot (11 m) lane. This was too big for most arcades and made it so that only people who were quite strong could play it well. As a result, it was later changed to 14 feet (4.3 m) and eventually changed again to the modern length of 10 or 13 feet (4.0 m). Soon after these changes, skee ball became very common in arcades around the United States. Because prizes were given to the players, the game was considered a form of gambling in some parts of the country. This led to restrictions on the number of machines allowed in an arcade in some places, and banning of the game in other places. These laws, however, did not last long, and thus skee ball is now found in almost all arcades in the country. It is also a staple of the restaurant/arcade chain Chuck E. Cheese's.

And push your wig down to the gas pedal, thats settled

Chop up your body send ya frame through the mail
Now where that tank when you still tote gats that ancient
Went from juvenile to a dope delinquent

School ballers actin out of order get slugged up

Love gettin pussy, love gettin richer than Willie
I detest y'all, fuck the police they just arrest y'all
Fuck the mayor, fuck his wife, and his desk job
[Chorus]
Fist balled up, teeth jagged edged bald heads, spark you
Don't be surprised if I pop duke
Discombobulate, now this is hard to take?
Set it then, if you do you'll regret it to the end
Your destiny's in my hands motherfucker
Didn't studder, utter, or mutter
You're heart thudded Kool-Aid

I'm ready like a book waitin to be read
My dogs waitin to be fed
My stem is waitin to see dead
Stomach full of tape worms hungry as fuck
Screwball push 'em up, push 'em up
Southeast big skinned it, power moves unlimited
Universal, rhymes been past curfew
Our men will hurt you, lay you in dirt too
Flame thrower, extraordinary fame holders
Same chick on the same shoulder
Same clip til his brains blow up
Screwball, the name's heard of
