[English]

She wants a man, a man she gets

Hahaha, hahaha

He's a fight to the death

He's a gun to my head

An impossible friend

Would you take every breath

And put it all in one man?

Amen, ha

Ah, men

Amen (dude, check this out)

Ah

That's a tight suit, motherfucker

Those some nice boots, motherfucker

Why you always got a light 'tude, lil' brother?

Actin' like we both in high school, motherfucker

Word on the street's you a burden to beasts

Boys wanna grab a handful, I'm hurtin' a cheek

Why y'all got a stereotype bein' sneaky?

Don't you ever let me catch you around in these streets

You know all them bad boys don't treat us nicely

So I give 'em these teeth like Keira Knightly

Do I look like I wan' be pregnant?

Tryna bust all in me like Leroy Jenkins

This got me achin', this got me thinkin'

"Nigga, am I gay or am I just angry?"

Am I impatient? I can't stop datin' 'em

And I'm insatiable, I love the taste of 'em

And I have too much tolerance

You ugly and fine as shit

And if I had more common sense

Then I would grab my ride and dip

And I have too much tolerance

You ugly and fine as shit

And if I had more common sense

Then I would grab my ride and dip

He's a fight to the death

He's a gun to my head (ah, men)

An impossible friend (men)

Would you take every breath (ah, men, check this out)

And put it all in one man?

You're so vain with your stupid chains

And you're souped-out Range

When you look my way (my way)

I feel shame 'cause you're such a pain

But my DNA wants your D in me (yeah)

He got the Tom Ford down, yes, but do he suit me?

Just steam roll past if he can't eat (uh)

For real though, gotta pack a Smith like Willow

Ten toes down as a duvet pillow

Two face, you say? You get zero

You act right, you'll get a movie, limo

Two chains, dinner and a smooch down below

And all new fans yellin', "You my hero"

Men need to cry more, boys need to work

But not when he beg his employee to flirt (huh)

Ain't nobody finna force me to twerk

When you're finished with your goon sesh, join me in church

One 'roid away from a six-foot hole

And that lace-front beard ain't my point of concern

If rent get high and we all need a show

They're enjoyin' the view, let a girl get a turn

And I have too much tolerance

You ugly and fine as shit

And if I had more common sense

Then I would grab my ride and dip

And I have too much tolerance

You ugly and fine as shit

And if I had more common sense

Then I would grab my ride and dip

Key Grammar Structures

• She wants a man, a man she gets

  ➔ Relative clause with an omitted relative pronoun (a man she gets).

  ➔ This line uses a reduced relative clause where the noun phrase 'a man' is followed by the clause 'she gets'; the verb 'gets' is the key element in the relative clause.

• Word on the street's you a burden to beasts

  ➔ Contraction of 'street is' (street's) and predicate nominative complement after the verb 'is'.

  ➔ Here the contracted form "street's" mixes subject with the complement that follows; focus on the contracted verb form "is".

• Don't you ever let me catch you around in these streets

  ➔ Causative 'let' + bare infinitive after negation; emphatic imperative with 'Don't you ever'.

  ➔ The phrase "let me catch" uses the causative "let" followed by the bare infinitive 'catch'.

• Do I look like I wan' be pregnant?

  ➔ Do-support for questions; informal 'wan' be' = 'want to be'.

  ➔ Question formed with "Do I"; the informal contracted form "wan' be" stands for 'want to be'.

• Nigga, am I gay or am I just angry?

  ➔ Parallel interrogative structure with 'am I' repeated; 'or' connects two states.

  ➔ The clause "am I" is repeated in a parallel form; the word 'am' is highlighted as the auxiliary in both parts.

• If rent get high and we all need a show

  ➔ First conditional-like clause with present simple in the if-clause; nonstandard Subject-verb agreement ('rent get').

  ➔ The 'If' clause uses the present simple form 'get' (nonstandard) following 'rent', indicating a future consequence.

• Then I would grab my ride and dip

  ➔ Conditional mood in the main clause with 'would' + base verb; coordinate verbs.

  ➔ "would" signals hypothetical action; 'grab' and 'dip' are the verbs in sequence connected by 'and'.

• Ain't nobody finna force me to twerk

  ➔ Ain't = am not / is not / are not; 'finna' = 'fixing to' (near future); double negation emphasis.

  ➔ Ain't functions as a strong negation; 'finna' marks near-future intent.

• And all new fans yellin', "You my hero"

  ➔ Present participle in non-standard form 'yellin''; possession 'You my hero' (omitted possessive).

  ➔ The gerund-like form 'yellin'' shows informal present participle; 'You my hero' omits possessive marker.

• And I have too much tolerance

  ➔ Infinitive phrase 'to' + verb omitted; 'have' with 'too much' as degree modifier.

  ➔ The line hints at an infinitival idea with 'to' understood; 'too much' functions as a degree modifier of 'tolerance'.

• And I have too much tolerance

  ➔ Repetition for emphasis; simple present with 'have' and degree clause.

  ➔ No special grammar change here beyond emphasis; 'too much' earlier implied the degree.
