'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

Pay me, pay me, pay me

Bitch I'm broke I need some fucking tape

Y'all think yall are wavey, but I be the motherfucking wave

Everything is gravy

Place me safely in my fucking grave

I'm a shady motherfucker

Steady sipping lemonade

Renegade in suade

Ain't gonna trade my spade just to get laid

Ain't no charade

Tipping 4's down Esplanade

Faded in the Escalade

Ain't afraid of escapades

I got the blade to serenade and flay

Pocket full of breadcrumbs

Bitch I'm looking for the cake

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

Keeping the pimp hand strong

I stay alone

Ain't got time for a bitch today

Money ain't long but I play along just how a playa play

Until I decay six feet in my grave

Five Nine gonna rep that Grey

Bet a bitch gon' pay

When the AK spray

Leave a dead body on display

Light the cig

Then I laugh at death

Fucked a bitch

Then I light the meth

Pool I'm swimming in full of cest

Been depressed since I came possessed

Threat the set

We gon' cut yo neck

Swerve a vette just to cause a wreck

Triple 6 $uicide

Devil's roulette

Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

'Cause nowadays niggas try to pull hoe cards

...

Key Grammar Structures

• Y'all think yall are wavey, but I be the motherfucking wave

  ➔ Habitual 'be' (African American Vernacular English - AAVE)

  ➔ In AAVE, 'be' can be used to indicate actions or states that are continuous, habitual, or occur repeatedly, rather than a single instance. Here, "I be the motherfucking wave" means 'I am *always* the wave' or 'I *consistently* embody the wave'.

• Ain't gonna trade my spade just to get laid

  ➔ Informal Negative 'Ain't gonna'

  ➔ "Ain't gonna" is an informal contraction of "am not going to" / "is not going to" / "are not going to", used to express future intention or prediction. It's very common in casual speech and some dialects.

• Steady sipping lemonade

  ➔ Present Participle as Adverbial Phrase (AAVE/informal)

  ➔ Here, "steady sipping" functions as an adverbial phrase, indicating continuous action. "Steady" is used adverbially (instead of 'steadily') to describe how the action of 'sipping' is performed, common in informal and AAVE contexts. It implies 'continuously sipping'.

• Money ain't long but I play along just how a playa play

  ➔ Non-standard Subject-Verb Agreement (AAVE)

  ➔ In standard English, the third-person singular subject "a playa" would require the verb "plays". However, in AAVE and some informal dialects, the '-s' ending for third-person singular verbs is often omitted, as seen in "a playa play".

• Swerve a vette just to cause a wreck

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ The phrase "just to cause a wreck" uses the infinitive form of the verb ('to cause') to explain the reason or purpose behind the action of 'swerving a vette'. The word "just" emphasizes that this is the sole purpose.

• Pool I'm swimming in full of cest

  ➔ Relative Clause with Omitted Relative Pronoun

  ➔ This is a reduced relative clause. In standard English, it would be "The pool *that/which* I'm swimming in is full of cest." The relative pronoun (that/which) is omitted because it is the object of the preposition 'in'.

• Five Nine gonna rep that Grey

  ➔ Informal Future 'gonna'

  ➔ "Gonna" is an informal contraction of "going to", commonly used in spoken English to express future actions or intentions. It's often used interchangeably with "will" in casual contexts.

• Faded in the Escalade

  ➔ Past Participle as Adjective

  ➔ Here, "faded" is a past participle acting as an adjective, describing the state of the subject (implied 'I am faded'). It means being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or simply very tired/dazed.

• Until I decay six feet in my grave

  ➔ Subordinating Conjunction 'Until' (Time Clause)

  ➔ "Until" is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a time clause, indicating the point in time when the main action or state will cease or be true up to. Here, it sets the duration of the 'play along' action.

• Been depressed since I came possessed

  ➔ Verb 'came' for 'became' (Informal/Colloquial usage)

  ➔ In informal contexts, especially in AAVE, "came" can be used to mean "became" or "got", indicating a change of state. So, "I came possessed" means 'I became possessed' or 'I got possessed'.
