[English]

Baby you deserve the best,

You deserve the best tonight.

It ain't much time left,

So you know the time is right.

Pay no mind to all the rumors,

You get caught inside the hype.

We can both take off, no commercial jet,

It's a private kind of flight.

We can both get so lit,

Like a stick of dynamite.

I can tell that our bodies both click,

Kinda like a pilot light.

I'm a fire the pussy up,

You can cool it down with ice.

When you talkin' to your friends,

Tell 'em he can't do it like me.

Girl, ain't no option,

girl he can't rock it, naw, he can't rock it like me.

Girl keep on poppin',

yeah keep on poppin', yeah keep on poppin' on me.

You and I both know he basic.

That dick got you starin' at your phone and you debating for real.

Forget aboutcha nigga,

You know you all that,

I'll make you forget aboutcha nigga,

And when he hits you, you won't call back.

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Aye, how come you can't get dick down some?

Bumpin' a shawty album.

I'll give us both 'bout an hour 'til we both figure out the outcome.

What's the outcome? Get it?

I don't wanna get too specific.

But you know that I know you gon' miss it.

When I'm holding you close and I hit it.

That's how it's supposed to be,

now she buzzin' all over me.

Baby girl I'm a rock the boat, love overboard, love overseas.

All night long I'm still strong.

I don't know, somethin' must have came over me.

Like a pornstar in a foreign car,

we damn near broke 'bout both the seats.

I shift gears, she roll the weed.

In the trunk, that's where my motor be.

She upload me pics, no clothing while she network socially.

See she and I both know he basic.

This dick got her staring at her phone and she debating, for real.

Forget aboutcha nigga,

You know you all that,

I'll make you forget aboutcha nigga,

And when he hits you, you won't call back.

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

She's a sociallite.

The social able type.

Even her schedule is sexual,

oh what a night.

I'm sayin', "Oh, what a night,

oh what a night."

I step into my DJ booth and say hello to the mic.

Forget aboutcha nigga,

You know you all that,

I'll make you forget aboutcha nigga,

And when he hits you, you won't call back.

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

Forget aboutcha nigga,

How come you can't get dick down some?

I'll make you forget about him.

How come you can't get dick down some?

I'll make you forget about him.

Key Grammar Structures

• You deserve the best tonight.

  ➔ Simple Present (stative verb)

  ➔ The verb "deserve" is a stative verb, so it is used in the simple present: "You **deserve** the best."

• It ain't much time left, so you know the time is right.

  ➔ Contraction "ain't" (negative), Coordinating conjunction "so"

  ➔ "ain't" is an informal negative contraction for "is not"/"are not". The clause "so you **know** the time is right" shows cause‑effect using the conjunction "so".

• We can both take off, no commercial jet, it's a private kind of flight.

  ➔ Modal verb "can" + infinitive, Present simple of "be"

  ➔ "can" expresses ability: "We **can** take off." The infinitive "take off" follows the modal. "it's" is the contracted form of "it is" (present simple).

• I can tell that our bodies both click, kinda like a pilot light.

  ➔ Verb + that‑clause, Comparative "like"

  ➔ "can tell" is followed by a **that‑clause**: "that our bodies both click." The phrase "kinda like a pilot light" uses the comparative particle "like" to make a comparison.

• I'm a fire the pussy up, you can cool it down with ice.

  ➔ Present continuous "I'm" + idiomatic expression, Modal "can" + infinitive

  ➔ "I'm" is the contracted form of "I am" and introduces the present continuous: "I'm **fire** the pussy up" (idiomatic for "I'm firing up"). "You **can** cool it down" uses the modal "can" + infinitive "cool".

• Girl, ain't no option, girl he can't rock it, naw, he can't rock it like me.

  ➔ Double negative with "ain't", Modal "can't", Comparative "like"

  ➔ "ain't" creates a negative meaning: "ain't no option" = "there is no option". "can't" is the negative modal for inability. "like me" forms a comparative phrase.

• I'll make you forget aboutcha nigga, and when he hits you, you won't call back.

  ➔ Future with "will", Causative "make + object + infinitive", First conditional "when" + present simple + future result

  ➔ "I'll" = "I will" (future). The causative pattern "make you **forget**" uses "make" + object + bare infinitive. The clause "when he **hits** you, you **won't call** back" is a first conditional: present simple in the "when" clause, future result with "won't".

• How come you can't get dick down some?

  ➔ Informal question "How come", Modal "can't" + infinitive

  ➔ "How come" is an informal way to ask "why". It is followed by a clause with the modal "can't" + bare infinitive "get".

• I shift gears, she roll the weed.

  ➔ Simple present for habitual actions, Omission of third‑person singular "s" (colloquial)

  ➔ Both clauses use the simple present to describe routine actions. In informal speech the third‑person singular "s" is often dropped, as in "she **roll** the weed" instead of "she rolls".
