[English]

The way you know what I want

The way they wish I wouldn't fall

The way you save me from them dogs

Baby, it's disrespectful

Baby, it's disrespectful

Baby, it's disrespectful

Baby, it's disrespectful (yeah)

(Let's go, ah, yeah)

Yeah

Woah there, boy, don't go there, boy

Tell me how they 'posed to breathe without no air, boy

Okay, way you treat 'em ain't no fair, boy

They all wanna get a piece of them coattails, boy

Class act, put you in the business

Even in economy, I'm giving him the biscuit

Give 'em any task, any man here would risk it

For me, they ain't cuffin', that's imaginative figment

All disrespect, you ain't letting your foot off

I like it when they mad and we making they wood soft

Uh, yeah, he nice and he fine and he tall

But if I'm with him, I'm eventually finding flaws

What the heck it is, his smile and walk

He got experience and generously kind and soft

Sexy the way that he sensitive

Jealousy don't ever get the best of him

Thank God, 'cause

The way you know what I want

The way they wish I wouldn't fall

The way you save me from them dogs

Baby, it's disrespectful

Baby, it's disrespectful

Baby, it's disrespectful

Baby, it's disrespectful

All the ugly boys (Get outta here!)

All the pretty boys (Get outta here!)

All the skinny boys (Get outta here!)

All the big boys (Get outta here!)

All the rich boys (Get outta here!)

You a hustler (Get outta here!)

You ain't getting funds (Get outta here!)

I ain't kidding, boys (Get outta here!) come on

Key Grammar Structures

• The way you know "what" I want

  ➔ Relative clause with "what" as object

  ➔ The clause "what I want" functions as the object of the verb "know".

• The way they wish I "wouldn't" fall

  ➔ "wish" + past simple for unreal present

  ➔ "wish" is followed by the past simple "wouldn't" to express a hypothetical present situation.

• Ok, "way" you treat "'em" "ain't" no fair, boy

  ➔ Informal negative "ain't"

  ➔ "ain't" replaces "is not" or "are not" in informal speech.

• "Give" 'em any task, any man here "would" risk it

  ➔ Conditional clause with "would" + verb

  ➔ "would" is used to express a hypothetical result in the present or future.

• "I" like it "when" they mad and we "making" they wood soft

  ➔ "when" clause + present simple; gerund after "make"

  ➔ The "when" clause uses present simple "they mad" (omitting "are"). After "making" the gerund "they wood soft" functions as object complement.

• "He" nice and "he" fine and "he" tall

  ➔ Zero copula (omission of "is") in informal speech

  ➔ The verb "is" is omitted before adjectives, a common feature in informal English.

• "If" I'm with him, I'm eventually "finding" flaws

  ➔ First conditional with "if" + present simple, future meaning

  ➔ "If" introduces a real possibility; the main clause uses present progressive "am finding" to indicate a future-in-the-present action.

• "Get outta" here!

  ➔ Imperative with colloquial contraction "outta" (out of)

  ➔ "Outta" is a spoken contraction of "out of"; the sentence is a direct command.
