[English]

Speak up loud, make it happen

If you say you want to do something, then go do it

If you say you want to act, then act on it

Yeah, with my girls, we’re on a mission

Doing what we want, we don’t need anyone’s permission

Pause and strike a pose, it’s the intermission

I’m gonna need, I’m gonna need, I’m gonna need a minute

In one ear and out the other—don’t complain, better call your mom

We arrive and bring the thunder

You think it’s about you, but you just don’t get it

Whoa, what’s up? Those girls don’t know how to behave

Anyway, the speakers are blasting, windows down in the back

We’ll turn a good girl into a naughty one

So what? I’m rocking a huge, huge attitude

You know I’m rocking a huge, huge attitude

Yeah, we’re shaking up the room

When we show up, baby, I’m not even mad at you—it’s just my attitude

Nah, nah, nah, nah

What? Nah, nah, nah, nah

What are you looking at? Nah, nah, nah, nah

What? Nah, nah, nah, nah

Attitude

If you say you want to do something, then do it

If you say you want to do something, then do it

You wish, now I’ve got you right on my lips

Your eyes are glued to my hips, side to side

We can keep this going all night; I don’t usually bite, but maybe I will

Don’t be scared, I know you want it

Bring it over, bring it over, bring it here—I know you want to feel this heat

Whoa, what’s up? Those girls don’t know how to behave

Anyway, the speakers are blasting, windows down in the back

We’ll turn a good girl into a naughty one

So what? I’m rocking a huge, huge attitude

You know I’m rocking a huge, huge attitude

Yeah, we’re shaking up the room

When we show up, baby, I’m not even mad at you—it’s just my attitude

Nah, nah, nah, nah

What? Nah, nah, nah, nah

What are you looking at? Nah, nah, nah, nah

What? Nah, nah, nah, nah

Attitude

If you say you want to do something, then do it

If you say you want to do something, then do it

You wish, now I’ve got you right on my lips

Your eyes are glued to my hips, side to side

We can keep this going all night, I don’t even care

I know you’re dying to break it down, bring it here—I know you want this heat

Whoa, what’s up? Those girls don’t know how to behave

Anyway, the speakers are blasting, windows down in the back

We’ll turn a good girl into a naughty one

So what? I’m rocking a huge, huge attitude

You know I’m rocking a huge, huge attitude

Yeah, we’re shaking up the room

When we show up, baby, I’m not even mad at you—it’s just my attitude

Nah, nah, nah, nah

Key Grammar Structures

• Say you wanna do something, better do something

  ➔ Imperative mood + Infinitive

  ➔ This line uses the imperative mood ('Say', 'Do') to give a direct command. The 'better' adds emphasis, suggesting a strong recommendation or warning. The structure is a common way to express urgency or a challenge.

• Think it's 'bout you, but you just don't get it

  ➔ Contraction ('bout') + Modal verb ('think') + Subordinating conjunction ('but') + Negative auxiliary verb ('don't')

  ➔ This sentence demonstrates common colloquial contractions ('bout' for 'about'). It also showcases the use of a modal verb ('think') to express an assumption, followed by a contrasting statement introduced by 'but'. The negative auxiliary 'don't' is crucial for forming the negative clause.

• You wish, now I got you right in my lips

  ➔ Ellipsis + Present Perfect Tense ('ve got')

  ➔ The phrase 'You wish' is an elliptical response, implying 'You wish that wasn't true'. The use of 've got' (contraction of 'have got') in the present perfect tense indicates a current state resulting from a past action – in this case, having someone 'in my lips'.

• Your eyes locked in on my hips, left to the right

  ➔ Past Participle as Adjective ('locked') + Prepositional Phrase ('in on') + Adverbial Phrase ('left to the right')

  ➔ The past participle 'locked' functions as an adjective describing the state of the eyes. 'Locked in on' is a phrasal verb indicating focused attention. 'Left to the right' is an adverbial phrase describing the direction of gaze.
