[English]

(Al Geno on the track)

Motor

Told 'em be quiet, you playin' (be quiet)

We the ones slimed your mans (we did it)

We the ones switched the bop (you know that)

She tried to pitch the rock

I don't even play with my nose (I don't do that)

He a crybaby, Derrick Rose (he a bitch)

SahBabii, all my black my clothes

Cup dirtier than a garbage disposal

Told the guys don't rat, we smooth (don't tell)

I know 12'll never find the mule (they rat)

Even if it was a Holocaust

I'll still never hide my jewels

Wheezy told me, "I'm proud of you" (Wheezy outta here)

I'd rather flop before I buy my views (rather flop)

Lil' bro keep gettin' rooms to go (for what?)

He trap and he know how to move

Know she pretty like Dior Dess

Closet, she got like half Hermès

I need to send some bread to your stylist

I like when her hair be red (you know it)

Bro put a belt on a teenager, wildin'

He should've took his ass to bed

You speakin' 'bout real smoke while on an interview

You tryna fly out the feds (it's me, excuse me)

(Excuse me, excuse me, excuse)

Bro'll do it for free, but the money involved, then you'll get a fast solution

Last time we bumped into one of the opps, his lil' ass said, "Excuse me"

You my son, should burp the baby

I ain't even gotta pat your back

Don't leave the crib, we got smoke outside

Fuck nigga a PlaqueBoyMax (pussy)

Caught an opp, now he lost and found

Need to go and get that hat back (on God)

Four zips in a cream A&W

Now it's same color Kodak Black (you dig?)

She came over tryna swap her spit

But I'm too P to kiss the bitch (yeah)

If I was broke, I'll still die real (you know it)

And I woke up like, "Shit, you rich" (like, "Shit, you rich")

Ho lyin' like I hit, you sick (you sick)

If I hit, I'd quick admit

Goin' to court, I'ma sue her side (I'ma sue her side)

Ho, you might as well slit your wrist

I bought a Quagen mix, lil' bro came back with a sixth of Trish (you dig?)

Got the vibes a key of sniff, they snortin' the coke right off of her tit (of her titty)

I'll never buy a purse for an escort, I don't even care if I hit

Lil' bro pump fakin', say the reason he ain't jump in the car, he said he was sick (no kizzy)

Told 'em be quiet, you playin' (be quiet)

We the ones slimed your mans (we did it)

We the ones switched the bop (you know that)

Yeah, she tried to pitch the rock

I don't even play with my nose (I don't do that)

He a crybaby, Derrick Rose (he a bitch)

SahBabii, all my black my clothes

Cup dirtier than a garbage disposal

Beat it up off a Perky 10 (beat it)

If it's good, then I'll pay your rent

Hit they block and they know that I spint (bleed it)

Hit the mall, I don't know what I spent

Damn, I feel like Mrs. Parker's husband

If I love you, I'll throw you a brick

I was broke, all I had was my cannon

I couldn't count on nobody but Nick

Rappin' to feed the family

Mixin' codeine with Henny

I never watched Breaking Bad

But these bitches broke and pretty

BP, extended mags

Now I can cruise the city

I got the drop on my opps

Didn't notice that they got evicted

Girl, you know these niggas in here nothing like me

In other words, you should leave with us

We the ones who had his partner mama cryin'

Money talkin', they been shuttin' up

Told 'em be quiet, you playin' (yeah)

We the ones slimed your mans (yeah)

We the ones switched the bop

She tried to pitch the rock

I don't even play with my nose (don't do that)

He a crybaby, Derrick Rose (he a bitch)

SahBabii, all my black my clothes

Cup dirtier than a garbage disposal

I ain't cuffin' no shit, she choose

No more sellin' this shit, I use

Heard my flow too sick, that's true

Every time I rap, I puke

Soon as they send him a dot

I send him commissary

I'm watchin' how I'm playin' my cards

'Cause my diamonds solitaire

Excuse me

Excuse me

Excuse me

Excuse me

Key Grammar Structures

• I'd rather flop before I buy my views

  ➔ Preference structure: 'would rather' + bare infinitive

  ➔ The speaker uses 'would rather' to express a preference for failing naturally than using 'buy my views'.

• If I was broke, I'll still die real

  ➔ Mixed Conditional (Second conditional for hypothesis + First conditional for result)

  ➔ Uses 'if I was' to set a hypothetical situation, followed by 'I'll' (I will) for a resolute future/present outcome.

• I couldn't count on nobody but Nick

  ➔ Negative pronoun usage + 'but' as a preposition (meaning 'except')

  ➔ The double negative 'couldn't count on nobody' emphasizes the isolation, with 'but' acting as 'except'.

• We the ones who had his partner mama cryin'

  ➔ Relative clause omitting the relative pronoun (Defining clause)

  ➔ The structure 'We the ones [who] had...' defines exactly who the speaker is.

• I'll never buy a purse for an escort, I don't even care if I hit

  ➔ Zero conditional/Real condition ('even if' + present)

  ➔ Uses 'even if I hit' to describe an indifferent attitude regarding the outcome of the action.

• He a crybaby

  ➔ African American Vernacular English (AAVE) Copula Deletion

  ➔ The verb 'is' is omitted ('He [is] a crybaby'), which is a common grammatical feature in this style of English.

• I was broke, all I had was my cannon

  ➔ Relative clause with 'all' + 'that/what'

  ➔ Uses 'all [that] I had' to emphasize a singular state of being (having only one possession).

• You speakin' bout real smoke while on an interview

  ➔ Present Continuous for current/ongoing actions + prepositional phrase

  ➔ Uses 'speakin'' (speaking) to indicate an ongoing action that contradicts the situation (the interview).
