[English] Uh
Uh
Uh
If I'm in control, there's no room for competition
She's the first to hate me, but always uses me as a reference
There's no rivalry, I barely even remembered you existed
I see a lot of people wanting gossip, it's a thing of fame, I have no patience
Black key only wears Tommy,
I have diamonds on my neck
Shining rope, rose gold
I have awards at home on my shelf
Car of the year, I have a Jaguar
For a ride to the party, it's a thousand bucks
Coconut water, red and whiskey
Today we toast with Royal Salute
The shirt is Christian or Planet
Little black girl who carries Adidas Bounce
Man, you don't know me, I don't have a nickname, just say my name
Today on Throwback Thursday, guess who booked the VIP box?
MPIF is a boss black woman, a picky drake with a big butt
Wherever I go, I feel comfortable
Man, I don't fight for free
You won't find anyone like me
I say that with confidence
For every room, a window
For every ending, a new beginning
If even God acts in silence
Why would I keep explaining?
Pay attention, you're begging
I keep stacking hundred dollar bills
Worry about if he's with someone else
My worry is which car I should buy
Minha preocupação qual carro eu compro

Online it seems like hate

And they say it's a fact, I'm the best
Those who get hit remember
Those who hit forget
Those who say what they want
Hear what they deserve
You and I, we're going to turn to dust
So I'm going to humiliate
I won't have mercy
I don't know how to stop

Key Grammar Structures

  • Se eu to no quadrado não tem espaço pra concorrência

    ➔ Conditional Clause (If I am in my lane...) + Present Tense + Negative Statement

    ➔ This sentence uses a conditional structure. The 'Se' introduces the condition, and the following clause describes the consequence. The phrase 'to no quadrado' is idiomatic, meaning 'in my lane' or 'in my sphere of influence'. The use of 'não tem' indicates a lack of space for competition.

  • Preta chave só veste Tommy,

    ➔ Adverbial Phrase + Verb + Direct Object

    ➔ This is a simple declarative sentence. 'Preta chave' is a slang term, and 'só veste Tommy' means 'only wears Tommy Hilfiger'. The adverb 'só' emphasizes exclusivity.

  • Mano cê não me conhece, não tenho apelido, só fale meu nome

    ➔ Negative Imperative + Negative Statement + Imperative

    ➔ This line uses a series of imperatives and negatives. 'Mano' is slang for 'dude'. 'Cê' is a colloquial contraction of 'você' (you). The sentence emphasizes a desire for respect and formal address.

  • Hoje no TBT, adivinha quem que fechou o camarote

    ➔ Adverbial Phrase + Interrogative Phrase + Relative Clause

    ➔ 'Hoje no TBT' means 'Today on Throwback Thursday'. 'Adivinha quem que...' is a rhetorical question, inviting the listener to guess. 'Fechou o camarote' means 'booked the VIP box'.
