[English]

Let me break it to you boy, I-I-I-I

I can give it to you all ni-i-i-ight

All in all, we pullin' all ni-i-i-ighters

We ain't gotta turn on them li-i-i-ights

Finna be up, ain't no sleepin' all night, yuh

Finna be up, ain't no sleepin' all night, yuh

Finna be up ah, yea-uh, finna be up ah, yea-uh

Finna be up ain't no sleepin' all night, yuh

Yuh, we up 'til the day break off, make up when I take, take off

No sleep, you my sunshine though, just me, you, and some wine, look

'Cause we trynna unwind, look, we sleep baby, sometimes, look

Yeah, we got the same schedule, sexual drive, speed through,

I just led you

Spent 15 on it and that's fine,

'cause we already been around five

Lil weed, Hennessy, kinda sound nice,

Finna need new sheets by around nine

Feelin' weak in the knees, make it bounce like bla-bla-bla

Bed smack to the wall tap-tap-tap

Wait, lemme throw it all back-back-back

Neighbor bangin' the door

Ain't no sleepin', fuck Monday, it's the weekend 'til Sunday

Add one moon, we'll be sunlight, he love that t-shirt, no undies

Ain't no sleepin', fuck Monday, it's the weekend 'til Sunday

Add one moon, we'll be sunlight, he love that t-shirt, no undies okay

Let me break it to you boy, I-I-I-I

I can give it to you all ni-i-i-ight

All in all, we pullin' all ni-i-i-ighters

We ain't gotta turn on them li-i-i-ights

Finna be up, ain't no sleepin' all night, yuh

Finna be up, ain't no sleepin' all night, yuh

Finna be up ah, yea-uh, finna be up ah, yea-uh

Finna be up ain't no sleepin' all night, yuh

Baby I just clocked out

In the middle of the night, need a snorkel

Ain't tryna knock out

Still workin' on my wine, need a back rub

Wish we could rewind to the bathtub

First night, wreckin' this suite, no pack up

Tuck me lent money in the mattress

But we ain't finna sleep on the mattress

Practice, knee-deep in your tactic

Back it up, beep beep, no Uhaul

Tossed salad, no cheese, no croutons

Set it down, taste cheap, no coupon

No drugs, this new guy, he's on

Five star, that's sweet, no futon

Damn my other girl tired, Tsundere

I ain't talkin' 'bout the tea when I Oolong

Ain't no sleepin', fuck Monday, it's the weekend 'til Sunday

Add one moon, we'll be sunlight, he love that t-shirt, no undies

Ain't no sleepin', fuck Monday, it's the weekend 'til Sunday

Add one moon, we'll be sunlight, he love that t-shirt

No undies okay, yeah

Let me break it to you boy, I-I-I-I

I can give it to you all ni-i-i-ight

All in all, we pullin' all ni-i-i-ighters

We ain't gotta turn on them li-i-i-ights

Finna be up, ain't no sleepin' all night, yuh

Finna be up, ain't no sleepin' all night, yuh

Finna be up ah, yea-uh, finna be up ah, yea-uh

Finna be up ain't no sleepin' all night, yuh

Key Grammar Structures

• I can give it to you all ni-i-i-ight

  ➔ Modal verb + infinitive; Adverbial extension with repetition for emphasis

  ➔ The phrase uses the modal verb "can" to express ability and "give it" is the infinitive. The repetition of 'ni' emphasizes the duration – "all night".

• No sleep, you my sunshine though, just me, you, and some wine, look

  ➔ Imperative mood (look); Appositive phrase; Coordinating conjunction (though)

  ➔ "Look" is a direct command. "You my sunshine" functions as an appositive, renaming 'you'. "Though" introduces a contrasting idea.

• Spent 15 on it and that's fine,

  ➔ Past simple tense; Demonstrative pronoun (that); Tag question (fine)

  ➔ "Spent" is in the past simple, describing a completed action. "That's fine" acts as a confirmation or agreement, functioning as a tag question.

• Finna be up ain't no sleepin' all night, yuh

  ➔ Vernacular English (AAVE) - 'Finna' as future marker; Double negative; Colloquial interjection ('yuh')

  ➔ "Finna" is a contraction of "fixing to" meaning "going to". "Ain't no sleepin'" is a double negative, common in AAVE, emphasizing the lack of sleep. "Yuh" is a casual affirmation.

• Add one moon, we'll be sunlight, he love that t-shirt, no undies

  ➔ Conditional sentence (first conditional); Pronoun reference; Noun phrase with omission

  ➔ "Add one moon" is metaphorical. "We'll be sunlight" is the result if the condition is met. "No undies" is a shortened noun phrase, omitting the article 'any'.
