All Hands on Deck
Lyrics:
[English]
All hands on deck
All in front, all in the back just like that, like that
I'ma blow your mind, take it out on the floor like that, like that
All in the front, all in the back just like that, like that
I'ma blow your mind like that
Wasted heart
When you left me, you left me with no choice
I'm looking for a boy to fill this empty void
Kiss the old me goodbye she's dead and gone, dead and gone, oh
Wasted heart
You took the last bit of love I've ever had
You took a good girl, and you turned me oh so bad
Kiss the old me goodbye she's dead and gone, dead and gone, oh
All hands on deck
All in front all in the back just like that, like that
I'ma blow your mind, take it out on the floor like that, like that
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'ma blow your mind like that
All hands on deck
All in front all in the back just like that, like that
I'ma blow your mind, take it out on the floor like that, like that
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'ma blow your mind like that
Wasted heart
Done here's to death do us apart
I watch you fold like a house of cards
Kiss the old me goodbye she's dead and gone, dead and gone, dead and gone
One by one, I watch you fall down, watch you fall like dominoes
Take no prisoners, search and destroy
Baby, look at what you've done
One by one, I watch 'em go down, watch 'em fall like dominoes
Watch 'em go down, watch 'em go down, watch 'em go down
All hands on deck
All in front all in the back just like that, like that
I'ma blow your mind, take it out on the floor like that, like that
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'ma blow your mind like that
I say all hands on deck
Bend it over beat it up, put your hands on that
If you play your cards right, I can deal with that
I'm a queen, you're a king, now let's build with that
Ain't life for the game, ain't not on the same
I got older, and I realized the game, why would I stay the same
Fucking right you're changing, you're the one to blame
You're the one who broke me down ya, our love was insane
Whoa, I pull off with my new ones
Girl mad when I see me her should do no
I ain't looking for beef, I'm looking for freaks
I got so weak in the knees, SWB
I tell that nigga, I tell that nigga like it's nothing to me
Oh, looking for me, I'm over here in VIP, ay
Who wants to drink, all the drinks on me
Put your hands in the air if you're fucking with me, ay-ay
All hands on deck
All in front all in the back just like that, like that
I'ma blow your mind, take it out on the floor like that, like that
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'ma blow your mind like that
All hands on deck
All in front all in the back just like that, like that
I'ma blow your mind, take it out on the floor like that, like that
All in the front all in the back just like that, like that
I'ma blow your mind like that
...

Grammar:
-
All hands on deck
➔ Imperative sentence with ellipsis.
➔ This is an abbreviated imperative. The full form would be something like "Put all hands on deck!" The verb 'put' or 'get' is implied but not explicitly stated. In nautical terms, it means everyone should be ready and working.
-
When you left me, you left me with no choice
➔ Past simple tense, repetition for emphasis, prepositional phrase.
➔ Use of the past simple tense "left" to describe a completed action in the past. Repetition of "you left me" emphasizes the action's impact. "With no choice" is a prepositional phrase explaining the result of the action.
-
Kiss the old me goodbye she's dead and gone, dead and gone, oh
➔ Imperative, present simple (she's), ellipsis, repetition
➔ "Kiss the old me goodbye" is an imperative. "She's" is a contraction of "she is" in present simple. "Dead and gone" is an idiomatic expression signifying something is completely over, and its repetition emphasizes this.
-
Done here's to death do us apart
➔ Subjunctive mood (inverted sentence structure), ellipsis, idiomatic expression
➔ "Here's to death do us apart" is a modified form of the traditional wedding vow "'Til death do us part." The inversion of "do us" emphasizes the solemnity. "Done" implies 'we are done'. It uses the subjunctive mood to express a wish or hypothetical situation.
-
Baby, look at what you've done
➔ Imperative mood, present perfect tense
➔ "Look at" is in the imperative mood, giving a command. "You've done" is the present perfect tense, indicating an action completed at an unspecified time in the past with relevance to the present.
-
If you play your cards right, I can deal with that
➔ Conditional sentence (Type 1), present simple, modal verb ('can')
➔ This is a type 1 conditional sentence. 'If you play your cards right' is the condition (present simple), and 'I can deal with that' is the result (modal verb 'can' + base form). It expresses a possible situation and its likely outcome.
-
Ain't life for the game, ain't not on the same
➔ Double negative (non-standard), colloquialism ('ain't'), ellipsis
➔ "Ain't" is a colloquial contraction for "am not", "is not", or "are not." Double negatives, while grammatically incorrect in standard English, are used here for emphasis. Ellipsis occurs as words are left out for brevity. The sentence is likely meant to say: life isn't a game and we aren't on the same page.
-
Girl mad when I see me her should do no
➔ Grammatically incorrect and highly colloquial. Combination of incorrect word order, missing words, and slang.
➔ This line is intentionally grammatically incorrect to create a specific effect. It likely tries to convey a feeling rather than adhere to standard English. The intended meaning is likely 'The girl gets mad when she sees me, she shouldn't do that'.
