Come and Go
Lyrics:
[English]
Whoa, uh
Oh, oh-oh, oh ('Mello made it right, uh)
I try to be everything that I can
But sometimes, I come out as bein' nothin'
I try to be everything that I can
But sometimes, I come out as bein' nothin'
I pray to God that He make me a better man (uh)
Maybe one day, I'ma stand for somethin'
I'm thankin' God that He made you part of the plan
I guess I ain't go through all that Hell for nothin'
I'm always up and wreckin'
It seems like I perfected it
I offer you my love
I hope you take it like some medicine
Tell me ain't nobody better than me
I think that there's better than me
Hope you see the better in me
Always end up betterin' me
I don't wanna ruin this one
This type of love don't always come and go
I don't wanna ruin this one
This type of love don't always come and go
I don't wanna ruin this one
This type of love don't always come and go
I don't wanna ruin this one
This type of love don't always come and go
...
I don't wanna ruin this one
This type of love don't always come and go
I don't wanna ruin this one
This type of love don't always come and go
We take drugs, then you hold me close
Then I tell you how you make me whole
Sometimes, I feel you like bein' alone
Then you tell me that I shoulda stayed in the room
Guess I got it all wrong all along, my fault
My mistakes probably wipe all the rights I've done
Sayin' goodbye to bygones, those are bygones
Head up, baby, stay strong, we gon' live long
I don't wanna ruin this one
This type of love don't always come and go
I don't wanna ruin this one
This type of love don't always come and go
I don't wanna ruin this one
This type of love don't always come and go
I don't wanna ruin this one
This type of love don't always come and go
...
I don't wanna ruin this one
This type of love don't always come and go
I don't wanna ruin this one
This type of love don't always come and go
...

Grammar:
-
I try to be everything that I can
➔ Relative Clause with "that"
➔ The word "that" introduces a relative clause modifying "everything". It acts as the object of the verb "can".
-
Maybe one day, I'ma stand for somethin'
➔ Informal Future Tense ("I'ma") and Phrasal Verb ("stand for")
➔ "I'ma" is a contraction of "I am going to", used informally to express future intention. "Stand for" is a phrasal verb meaning to represent or support something.
-
I'm always up and wreckin'
➔ Present Continuous with "always" for emphasis (often negative)
➔ The use of "always" with the present continuous emphasizes that the speaker is constantly engaged in the action of "wrecking", often implying annoyance or frustration.
-
Tell me ain't nobody better than me
➔ Double Negative (informal/non-standard)
➔ The phrase "ain't nobody" is a double negative. In standard English, it should be "is nobody" or "isn't anybody". This is a common feature of informal speech.
-
This type of love don't always come and go
➔ Subject-verb agreement error (informal)
➔ In standard English, "this type of love" (singular) should be paired with "doesn't" instead of "don't". Using "don't" here reflects informal speech patterns.
-
Guess I got it all wrong all along, my fault
➔ Past Simple Tense (got), Adverbial Phrase (all along)
➔ "Got" is the past simple of "get", indicating a completed action in the past. "All along" is an adverbial phrase that modifies the verb, meaning "from the beginning".
-
My mistakes probably wipe all the rights I've done
➔ Modal Verb "probably", Verb "wipe" with Object "all the rights", Present Perfect "I've done"
➔ "Probably" expresses a degree of certainty or likelihood. "Wipe" is used transitively with "all the rights" as its object, meaning to erase or negate. "I've done" is the present perfect tense, indicating actions completed at some point in the past that have relevance to the present.
