Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Niggas really weird, bro.

I stay out the way.

Bro

When I get to snappin' like D.U.I.

Really got the juice like 2Pac

Shawty got a strong jaw might chew rock

Got me comin' out the blue like new cop

I been rockin' by myself, I'm through, huh

You jump off the porch, me, I flew

Niggas say I'm too sick, hot chew

Stop playin' with me

Nigga, stop playin' with me

F**k you and your mama, stop playin' with me

F**k you and your dreams, stop playin' with me

Stop playin' with me

Bro, look

F-40, that's the brand new coupé

Steppin' on these b*tches, what the f**k I do?

Caught the plane with Matt, Bron, that too

Thank the Gods, I'm nothin' like you

Like you

Like you

Like you

Nigga, stop playin' with me

Bitch

Nigga, stop playin' with me

Huh, Nigga, stop playin' with me

Huh, Nigga, stop playin' with me

F**k you and your mama, stop playin' with me

F**k you and your dreams, stop playin' with me

F**k you and your kids, stop playin' with me

Nigga, I tell them boys, "Hop off my d**k"

Tell them boys, "Hop off my d**k"

Get your phony ass b*tch

Get your phony ass b*tch

Nigga, I trot, trot, trot, trot, trot, trot

I trot, trot, trot, trot, trot, trot

Tell them niggas hop off my d**k

We talk big sh*t, that's a big bag

Niggas always hatin' on me, niggas been mad

This heat, we can run it up like a shin strap

I can grant a whole wish, think I'm Sinbad

I came and I herded, b*tch, I'm impact

Fast money, big sh*t

Tyb in the hat

Hearse neck, free wheels like the Tin Man

Spinnin' Con, Versace money, what I mean is

Burnin' white paper, that's a Zig-Zag

Now, I drown in it like a swim bath

Nigga, look

Don't you try to downplay my name

You on an Odyssey if I crash this plane

Hatin' b*tches on play no games

Nigga, stop playin' with me

Bitch

Get your phony ass in that tub, b*tch.

Key Grammar Structures

• When I get to snappin' like D.U.I.

  ➔ Get to + -ing (Colloquial)

  ➔ The phrase "get to" followed by a verb ending in "-ing" (gerund) is a colloquial way to indicate the beginning of an action, often one that becomes intense or difficult to stop. Here, "snappin'" is a shortened form of "snapping."

• Stop playin' with me

  ➔ Imperative (Negative) + Phrasal Verb

  ➔ This is a direct command telling someone to cease an action. "Stop" is the imperative verb, and "playin' with" (colloquial for "playing with") is a phrasal verb meaning to mess with, disrespect, or bother someone.

• Thank the Gods, I'm nothin' like you

  ➔ Nothing like (Colloquial)

  ➔ The phrase "nothing like" is used to strongly emphasize that two things or people are completely dissimilar. "Nothin'" is a colloquial abbreviation of "nothing."

• Nigga, I tell them boys, "Hop off my d**k"

  ➔ Direct Speech (Imperative within a quote)

  ➔ This line presents the exact words spoken by someone, enclosed in quotation marks. The quoted part, "Hop off my d**k," is an imperative sentence, giving a direct command.

• Niggas always hatin' on me, niggas been mad

  ➔ Always + Present Participle (-ing) for criticism (Colloquial)

  ➔ When "always" is used with a present participle (e.g., "always doing"), it often conveys a sense of annoyance or criticism about a repetitive or habitual action. "Hatin'" is a colloquial shortening of "hating."

• You on an Odyssey if I crash this plane

  ➔ First Conditional (with colloquialisms)

• Really got the juice like 2Pac

  ➔ Colloquial 'got' (Possession/Acquisition)
