Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You was the one that just told me, baby, just hold me

Don't let me run

Kawasaki, baby, slide, you were just shinin'

Don't get to rushin'

Pourin' another shot, no rush

Tell me what you want, no rush

Not to put the blame on us

I know I'ma change, I only one life

But what I just did the same for you

I've been on some dumb shit, yeah

Said she want a nigga on that dumb shit, yeah

We could vibe private, fuck the public, yeah

Shoutout Sheek, my brother, she got dumb thick, yeah

Where I'm at? I can't even pick a coast, and

East side nigga with his west side ho

I get lit in real life, give a fuck about a post

They say, "You ain't doin' enough," tech, fuck it, do the most

Speed up, rule number one, why they never need us

Get high 'til I see Hannah, 'til I see Tina

You don't know who you wanna be, nigga, you gon' be nothin'

Movin' like my exes, we could be one

Every little time, I'm safe, so

Not like your last nigga, he a day room

It ain't no space around my circle, we can't make room

Rather be alone and let a lame nigga take room

You was the one that just told me, baby, just hold me

Don't let me run

Kawasaki, baby, slide, you were just shinin'

Don't get to rushin'

Pourin' another shot, no rush

Tell me what you want, no rush

Not to put the blame on us

I know I'ma change, I only one life

But what I just did the same for you

You was the one that just told me, baby, just hold me

Don't let me run

Kawasaki, baby, slide, you were just shinin'

Don't get to rushin'

Pourin' another shot, no rush

Tell me what you want, no rush

Not to put the blame on us

I know I'ma change, I only one life

But what I just did the same for you

Key Grammar Structures

• You was the one that just told me, baby, just hold me

  ➔ Subject‑verb agreement; relative clause with "that"

  ➔ The verb "was" does not agree with the plural pronoun "you". The phrase "that just told me" is a relative clause.

• Don't let me run

  ➔ Negative imperative with "don't" + bare infinitive

  ➔ "Don't" is the contracted form of "do not" used to give a negative command. The verb "let" is followed by the bare infinitive "run".

• Kawasaki, baby, slide, you were just shinin'

  ➔ Past progressive "were..." with colloquial dropping of "g"

  ➔ "were" shows the past progressive. "shinin'" is the informal spelling of "shining" with the final "g" dropped.

• Tell me what you want, no rush

  ➔ Imperative + indirect question; ellipsis "no rush"

  ➔ "Tell" is an imperative verb. The clause "what you want" is an indirect question. "no rush" is an elliptical phrase meaning "there is no hurry".

• I know I'ma change, I only one life

  ➔ Colloquial contraction "I'ma" = "I'm going to" (future intention); missing verb in second clause

  ➔ "I'ma" is a slang contraction of "I am going to" expressing a future plan. The second clause "I only one life" omits the verb "have" ("I only have one life").

• We could vibe private, fuck the public, yeah

  ➔ Modal verb "could" + bare infinitive for possibility; coordination with commas

  ➔ "could" expresses a hypothetical or possible action. After it, the verb "vibe" appears in its bare infinitive form.

• They say, "You ain't doin' enough," tech, fuck it, do the most

  ➔ Reported speech; contraction "ain't" = "are not"; gerund "doin'"; imperative "do"

  ➔ "They say" introduces reported speech. "ain't" is a non‑standard contraction of "are not". "doin'" is the gerund form of "doing" with the final "g" dropped. "do the most" is an imperative urging extreme effort.

• Speed up, rule number one, why they never need us

  ➔ Imperative verb "Speed up"; noun phrase "rule number one"; indirect question missing auxiliary "do"

  ➔ "Speed up" is a command. "rule number one" functions as a noun phrase naming a principle. In the question "why they never need us" the auxiliary "do" is omitted, which is common in informal speech.
