Lyrics & Translation

[English]

We behaving bad

We behaving bad

Fast wine, slow wine

We behaving bad

We behaving bad (yeah)

We behaving bad (here we go, huh)

Fast wine, slow wine

We behaving bad (yeah)

Yo, when I was young and my dad had a reefer house

I'd catch a contact and talk like eek-a-mouse

Go to school, act like I'm pullin' reefer out

Kinda funny 'cause I used to freak my teachers out

Like dong dong diddy dong dong, seen

So much mi go teach ya bout

Peace to the one Black Chiney and the heaters out

In the club everybody on Sinatra

Look around, everybody on Sinatra

I ain't talking 'bout this shit they call Coke and Vodka

I'm talking 'bout this shit you snort and go, "Haha haha haha ha..."

I mean just go bonkers

Make the young girls wild, and then go topless

Make the dope boy smile, they don't need binoculars

Make a nigga wanna pull out choppas

Brrap, brrap, brrap, they got ya

Ring, bom bom bom bom

Aerosol can, bom bom bom bom (huh)

Monkey outside, bom bom bom bom (huh)

Shootin' all night, bom bom bom bom

Bom to the bom to the clang clang clang (huh)

Bangin' on that ass like orangutan (Jesus dance)

Motherfucker transform to a grown man (huh)

And transform again like

We behaving bad

Skateboard, can a nigga make more

Steal my style, I ain't got no reward

Like hmm, make yourself bigger like mushroom

Mario Kart (yep)

All y'all niggas wanna get like me (yep)

All y'all niggas wanna spit like P (yep)

Missin' ass niggas wanna hit like me

Meanwhile yo bitches wanna kiss my D

Child rebel soldier, hit that ass for the combo

AK-47 and the dress on a rhino, boom

Commodore like Lionel, zoom

Hauling that ass like a new Veyron

Am I wrong?

Riding with my bitch mane, all night long

One second I'm here, next second I'm gone

That's two in 60 seconds, nigga, what you want?

Girls on me like they superglued on

My dick like a table you can place food on

Szechuan, or Hunan

Nigga, I'm hot like the place Mulan (Major Lazer)

Ring, bom bom bom bom

Aerosol can, bom bom bom bom (huh)

Monkey outside, bom bom bom bom (huh)

Shootin' all night, bom bom bom bom

Bom to the bom to the clang clang clang (huh)

Bangin' on that ass like orangutan (huh)

Motherfucker transform to a grown man (huh)

And transform again like

We behaving bad

Nigga, I'm hot like the place Tucson

BBC, ice cream skewed on

No discounts, no coupons

But I got the Rolls Royce for the Grey Poupon

Now you jealous, with your face screwed on

Who on, nigga, you on

Feeble ass niggas only get booed on

Shitty attitude get pissed and poo'ed on

Fucking with P, you wrong

Retreat, nigga, you don't wanna feud on

Your nerves ain't there for a big dude on

Stompin' that ass until you gone

Hoping that you make it home with your shoes on

While I'm touring these booties, scoring these movies (yep)

I know that I make it when I'm chilling with Stewie

Ask Marc Jacobs what I did for Louis

Sunglasses, campaign and jewelry

Ask Alber how he really wanna use me

Comme des garçon, ain't using it loosely

Look at your forehead, sweating profusely

Ring, bom bom bom bom

Aerosol can, bom bom bom bom (huh)

Monkey outside, bom bom bom bom (huh)

Shootin' all night, bom bom bom bom

Bom to the bom to the clang clang clang (huh)

Bangin' on that ass like orangutan (huh)

Motherfucker transform to a grown man (huh)

And transform again like

Major Lazro

Fast wine, slow wine (we behaving bad)

Fast wine, slow wine (we behaving bad)

Fast wine, slow wine (we behaving bad)

Fast wine, slow wine (we behaving bad)

Fast wine, slow wine (we behaving bad)

Fast wine, slow wine (we behaving bad)

Fast wine, slow wine (we behaving bad)

Fast wine, slow wine (we behaving bad)

Key Grammar Structures

• Yo, when I was young and my dad had a reefer house

  ➔ Past Continuous/Past Simple combination

  ➔ The phrase uses the past continuous ("was having") to describe a state existing in the past, and the past simple ("was young") to describe a completed action within that timeframe. The structure highlights a background situation and a specific event. "**was** young" and "**had** a reefer house"

• Like dong dong diddy dong dong, seen

  ➔ Onomatopoeia and colloquial interjection

  ➔ This line uses repetitive sounds ("dong dong diddy dong dong") to mimic a rhythm or sound effect, and "seen" is a colloquial interjection indicating understanding or acknowledgement. It's a stylistic choice for rhythm and emphasis. "**seen**" is used as a filler word.

• I ain't talking 'bout this shit they call Coke and Vodka

  ➔ Double Negative and Colloquial Language

  ➔ The phrase uses a double negative ("ain't talking 'bout this shit") for emphasis, common in informal speech. "Ain't" is a non-standard contraction of "am not/is not/are not". "Shit" is used as a colloquial intensifier. "**ain't**" is a contraction.

• Make the young girls wild, and then go topless

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose and Coordinating Conjunction

  ➔ The infinitive phrases ("to make", "to go") express the purpose of an action. "and" is a coordinating conjunction connecting two independent clauses. "**to make**" and "**to go**" are infinitives.
