Okay.

Growing [music] up, I never felt I

really asked for much. Keep it real, I

hold tight on your promises and such.

[music] To be real, I only fell in love

once and it sucks. Now, I be scared to

open up. This is a lot of farewells, a

lot of goodbyes [music] and broken

stuff. This is a lot of farewells and

good tries. We did enough. I think my

eyes did enough. Yeah, I'm so scared of

love, I'll probably leave you out on a

limb. [music]

You're so dumb, you'll probably

leave me when I'm up.

Baby, I should fall back. Baby, I should

call back. I'mma see your calls back.

[music] I'm so broken, I already think

you maybe love ain't all bad. Thinking I

won't get the same heartbreak we all

had. All of you [music and singing] lost

your control. I keep losing my cool.

Feeling this gone, nobody taught me

that. Wisdom is a fool. Wisdom is a low.

>> [music]

>> Wisdom is a rich. Wisdom has no more.

Wisdom never asked for this. Wisdom is a

trade you would choose.

>> [music]

>> I'll say.

Growing up, I never felt I really asked

for much. Keep it real, I hold tight on

your promises and such. To be real, I

only fell in love once and it sucks.

Now,

>> [music]

>> I be scared to open up. This is a lot of

farewells, a lot of goodbyes and broken

stuff. This is a lot of farewells and

good tries. We did enough. I think my

eyes did enough.

>> [music]

Key Grammar Structures

• I never felt I really asked for much.

  ➔ Negative adverb ‘never’ + simple past (verb‑phrase).

  ➔ The adverb "never" modifies the past‑tense verb "felt" to express that the action did not happen at any time.

• We did enough.

  ➔ Past simple with the adverb ‘enough’ after the verb.

  ➔ "enough" follows the verb "did" to indicate that the action was sufficient.

• I'm so scared of love, I'll probably leave you out on a limb.

  ➔ Future with ‘will’ + modal adverb ‘probably’; idiomatic expression ‘out on a limb’.

  ➔ "I'll" is the contraction of "I will" (future). The adverb "probably" modifies the future verb "leave" to express uncertainty.

• I keep losing my cool.

  ➔ Verb ‘keep’ + gerund (present participle) to show a continuing action.

  ➔ "keep" is followed by the gerund "losing" to indicate that the speaker continuously loses composure.

• I only fell in love once and it sucks.

  ➔ Past simple with adverb ‘only’ for emphasis; informal present simple ‘sucks’ as a comment.

  ➔ "only" limits the action to a single occurrence, and "sucks" (present simple) gives a subjective judgment.

• Wisdom never asked for this.

  ➔ Negative adverb ‘never’ + simple past; subject–verb‑object order.

  ➔ "never" negates the past action "asked", showing that the subject "Wisdom" did not request it at any time.

• I'mma see your calls back.

  ➔ Colloquial contraction ‘I’mma’ (= I am going to) + infinitive to express future intention.

  ➔ "I'mma" is a slang contraction of "I am going to"; it is followed by the infinitive "see" to show a planned action.

• This is a lot of farewells, a lot of goodbyes and broken stuff.

  ➔ 'A lot of' + plural noun; coordination with commas and conjunction ‘and’.

  ➔ "a lot of" quantifies the plural nouns "farewells", "goodbyes" and "stuff"; the list is linked by commas and the final "and".

• I think my eyes did enough.

  ➔ Present simple verb ‘think’ + past simple ‘did’ used as dummy auxiliary with ‘enough’ to express sufficiency.

  ➔ "did" is used as a dummy verb before "enough" ("did enough") to mean "was sufficient"; "think" introduces the speaker’s opinion.
