Mm (Huh, huh, yeah, yeah)

When they're all searching for my body

I don't know who they'll find

They've taken everything from me

Chew me up and spit me out

Big dog loves a crowd

Well, tell 'em to search my house

I bet they find you face down

Yeah

Shout out to her ex, he a crash out

Took too many pills, he a crash out

She in Hidden Hills in a glass house

I like what I saw, and so I cashed out your bag

Ayy, sending your bag, your bag, uh

Jump up on the flight, she 'bout to jump, 'bout to jump, yeah

Jump like Ja Morant, she 'bout to jump, 'bout to jump

Key Grammar Structures

• They've taken everything from me

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense

  ➔ The Present Perfect describes an action that started in the past and continues to have relevance in the present. Here, the act of 'taking' happened in the past, and the speaker *still* feels the effect of having lost everything. The structure is 'have/has + past participle' - in this case, 'have taken'.

• I like what I saw, and so I cashed out your bag

  ➔ Subordinating Conjunction ('and so')

  ➔ "And so" functions as a subordinating conjunction, indicating a result or consequence. The first clause ('I like what I saw') is the cause, and 'I cashed out your bag' is the result. It shows a direct link between the liking and the action taken.

• Molly make her dance with her ass out, damn

  ➔ Causative Construction

  ➔ The structure 'Molly make her dance...' is a causative construction. 'Molly' is causing 'her' to dance. It's not that Molly *is* dancing, but that Molly is *making* her dance. This is often used informally and can be considered slang.

• Just like Nicki said, money make her cum, what?

  ➔ Ellipsis

  ➔ The phrase 'money make her cum' is a shortened, elliptical version of 'Money makes her come'. The verb 'to be' is omitted for stylistic effect and to create a more direct, impactful statement. It's a common feature in rap lyrics.

• Got that lil' employee mad 'cause he fanned out

  ➔ Phrasal Verb ('fanned out')

  ➔ "Fanned out" is a phrasal verb meaning to become overly excited or enthusiastic, often to the point of being embarrassing or losing composure. In this context, the employee became overly excited or starstruck by the speaker.
