[English]

And it go la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (uh)

And it go (yeah) la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (uh)

And it go (what?) la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

And it go la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

And it go

I just spilled my drink all on his Mowalola

Everybody blowin' up my Motorola (uh)

Five bad girls in the Honda Civic (Honda Civic)

Feels like a Lambo from the way I whip it (whip, it, whip it)

I don't plan on doing nothing cool tonight (I don't, I don't)

I'm just tryna make my way to you tonight (yeah)

Yeah, I'm in a rush, I'm running through the light

Yeah, I'm in a rush, rush, rush

Meet me in the parking lot, let's turn up

Baby, we don't gotta talk a lot, it feels fun

When I'm hanging out the window of your new Mercedes

I can be your bad girl, don't treat me like a lady

Baby, meet me in the parking lot, let's turn up

Baby, we don't gotta talk a lot, it feels fun

When I'm hanging out the window of your new Mercedes

I can be your bad girl, don't treat me like a lady

And it go la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (uh)

And it go (yeah) la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (uh)

And it go (what?) la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

And it go la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Wakin' up to bruises I don't know how I got

How much did I blow last night? I'm guessin' a lot

This feel like the 'Rari dropped the top in the rain

Leave the party lookin' different than how I came

Don't text me, I might come over

You might get a four-leaf clover

See the life flash through the backseat

I don't feel like pulling over

I don't plan on doing nothing cool tonight (I don't, I don't)

I'm just tryna make my way to you tonight

Meet me in the parking lot, let's turn up

Baby, we don't gotta talk a lot, it feels fun

When I'm hanging out the window of your new Mercedes

I can be your bad girl, don't treat me like a lady

Baby, meet me in the parking lot, let's turn up

Baby, we don't gotta talk a lot, it feels fun

When I'm hanging out the window of your new Mercedes

I can be your bad girl, don't treat me like a lady

And it go la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

And it go la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

And it go (what?) la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

And it go la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

And it go

Key Grammar Structures

• Everybody blowin' up my Motorola (uh)

  ➔ Present Continuous for dynamic action

  ➔ The phrase "blowin' up" is slang meaning receiving many calls/messages. The present continuous ("are blowing") emphasizes the ongoing nature of this influx. The verb 'blow up' is used idiomatically here, not literally.

• Feels like a Lambo from the way I whip it (whip, it, whip it)

  ➔ Simile and colloquial verb usage ('whip')

  ➔ "Whip it" is slang for driving quickly and aggressively. The sentence uses a simile – comparing the feeling of driving the Honda Civic to driving a Lamborghini. The repetition of 'whip it' emphasizes the action.

• I don't plan on doing nothing cool tonight

  ➔ Double Negative

  ➔ The sentence uses a double negative ("don't doing nothing"). While grammatically incorrect in standard English, it's common in informal speech and means "I plan on doing something cool tonight". The 'nothing' is negated by 'don't'.

• I don't feel like pulling over

  ➔ Gerund as object of preposition

  ➔ "Pulling over" is a gerund (verb acting as a noun) and functions as the object of the preposition "like". The phrase expresses a lack of desire to perform the action of stopping the car.

• You might get a four-leaf clover

  ➔ Modal verb 'might' expressing possibility

  ➔ The modal verb 'might' indicates a possibility, not a certainty. Getting a four-leaf clover is considered lucky, so the line suggests the person might experience good fortune.
