[English]

DJ Khaled

Hey, yeah

We the best

All I do is win, win, win no matter what

Got money on my mind, I can never get enough

And every time I step up in the building

Everybody hands go up

And they stay there, and they say yeah

And they stay there, up, down, up, down, up, down

'Cause all I do is win, win, win

And if you going in put your hands in the air, make 'em stay there!

Yeah, listen, Luda!

Ludacris goin' in on the verse

'Cause I never been defeated and I won't stop now

Keep your hands up, get 'em in the sky

For the homies that didn't make it and my folks locked down

I never went nowhere, but they sayin' "Luda's back"

Blame it on that conjure, the hood call it Luda 'gnac

And I'm on this foolish track, so I spit my foolish flow

My hands go up and down, like strippers' booties go

My verses still be servin', tight like a million virgins

Last time on the Khaled remix, now I'm on the original version

Can't never count me out, y'all better count me in

Got twenty bank accounts, accountants count me in

Make millions every year (yeah) the South's champion (yeah)

'Cause all I do, all I - all I - all I - all I do is

AY, WOO!

All I do is win, win, win no matter what

Got money on my mind, I can never get enough

And every time I step up in the building

Everybody hands go up

And they stay there, and they say yeah

And they stay there, up, down, up, down, up, down

'Cause all I do is win, win, win

And if you going in put your hands in the air, make 'em stay there!

Win, win, who? Boss

Boss, swervin' in my lo-lo

Head on the swivel, you know serving me's a no-no

Clean as a whistle as I pull out in my Rolls Royce

Yellow bone passenger, they see it they say "oh boy"

Tell Khaled back it up, my niggas call me loco

Down for armed trafficking, don't make me pull that fo'-fo'

Ask you what you laughing at - represent that mud life!

Dirty money bitch you better get yo' mud right!

We come together holdin' hands and holla "thug life"

We all strapped in all black, it's like fuck life (all we do is win!)

You riding to what (WHAT!) 'cause we riding tonight (tonight!)

Now she riding with me 'cause you wasn't riding her right

Ross!

All I do is win, win, win no matter what

Got money on my mind, I can never get enough

And every time I step up in the building

Everybody hands go up

And they stay there, and they say yeah

And they stay there, up, down, up, down, up, down

'Cause all I do is win, win, win

And if you going in put your hands in the air, make 'em stay there!

Heat in the kitchen, pot on the stove

Water gettin' boiled, dope being sold

Snoopy in the hoopty, system overload

I been running this rap game since I was 20 years old

I hung with the worst of 'em, bust 'til I burst 'em up

Floss 'em up, toss 'em up, Hardaway, cross 'em up

Pardon me, I'm bossing up, pressure up, bless you bruh

Don't mess with us, we like the U in the 80's

Back to back, set a trap, hit the lick, hit it back

Hit the trick, jump the track, bitch I want my money back

Time and time again while I'm sipping on this gin

Al Davis said it best, "Just win baby, win!"

All I do is win, win, win no matter what

Got money on my mind, I can never get enough

And every time I step up in the building

Everybody hands go up

And they stay there, and they say yeah

And they stay there, up, down, up, down, up, down

'Cause all I do is win, win, win

And if you going in put your hands in the air, make 'em stay there!

Key Grammar Structures

• All I do is win, win, win no matter what

  ➔ Simple present (habitual) + infinitive clause

  ➔ "All" is the subject, "do" is the present‑tense verb, and the infinitive "win" expresses a habitual action.

• Got money on my mind, I can never get enough

  ➔ Present simple + modal verb "can" + adverb of frequency "never"

  ➔ "can" shows ability/possibility, while "never" (a negative adverb) modifies the verb "get".

• Every time I step up in the building

  ➔ Adverbial clause of time with simple present

  ➔ "Every time" introduces a time clause; the verb "step" stays in the simple present because the clause refers to repeated actions.

• Everybody hands go up

  ➔ Simple present, subject‑verb agreement

  ➔ "Hands" is a plural noun, so the verb takes the plural form "go" (not *goes*).

• If you're going in, put your hands in the air

  ➔ First‑conditional clause + imperative

  ➔ "If you're going in" is a real‑time condition (present simple), followed by the imperative "put" telling the listener what to do.

• I never went nowhere

  ➔ Double negative (colloquial)

  ➔ "never" and "nowhere" are both negatives; together they produce a non‑standard double negative meaning "I didn't go anywhere".

• Can't never count me out

  ➔ Contraction "can't" + double negative (colloquial)

  ➔ "Can't" (= cannot) already carries a negative; adding "never" creates a double negative that intensifies the meaning "I will not be counted out".

• Make millions every year

  ➔ Imperative verb + direct object (zero‑object clause)

  ➔ "Make" is a command directed at the listener; "millions" is the direct object, and "every year" is an adverbial of frequency.

• We come together holding hands and holla "thug life"

  ➔ Present simple + present participle phrase (gerund) as adjunct

  ➔ "holding hands" is a present‑participle phrase that describes the manner in which "we come together".
