[English]

What is it you want, Mary?

What do you want?

You, you want the Moon?

Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down

Hey, that's a pretty good idea

I'll give you the Moon, Mary

I'll take it

Baby, I could give you the Moon

...

You know he can't do what I do, yeah, it's true (yeah, it's true)

...

Girl, I think I'm dyin' real soon

We could die in my room, me and you (me and you)

...

Baby, I could give you the Moon

...

You know he can't do what I do, yeah, it's true (yeah, it's true)

...

Girl, I think I'm dyin' real soon

We could die in my room, me and you (me and you)

...

I'ma keep you in mind

While I drive right by

Say goodbye to the nice guy

I'm wastin' my time

Givin' you rhymes

You gotta give me a dime

Before I do that again

And I ain't trippin', I'm high

In the trunk of the Benz

Is where my women reside

Where my women will die

I ain't got no friends

And I don't listen to y'all

I'm equipped for the fall

And the winter and all

When the summer come

I'ma have enough to get the fuck out

I could buy a truck and drive that motherfuckin' truck out (skrr)

Tryna buy luck, if you don't die that means you lucked out

...

I ain't tryna fuck, I see the Moon and bug the fuck out

...

Mary, I know what I'm going to do tomorrow and the next day

And the next year and the year after that

I'm shaking the dust of this crummy little town off my feet and I'm gonna see the world

...

Italy, Greece, the Parthenon, the Coliseum

Then I'm coming back here, go to college and see what they know

And then I'm gonna build things

I'm gonna build air fields, I'm gonna build skyscrapers, a hundred stories high

I'm gonna build bridges a mile long, well, you gonna throw a rock?

...

Hey, that's pretty good, what'd you wish, Mary?

...

Key Grammar Structures

• What is it you want, Mary?

  ➔ Inversion for emphasis in questions

  ➔ The typical question structure is 'Do you want...?', but here, 'What is it' is placed at the beginning for a more dramatic effect. The auxiliary verb 'is' is inverted with 'it'.

• I'll give you the Moon, Mary

  ➔ Future with 'will' (contracted to 'll')

  ➔ The use of 'I'll' is a contraction of 'I will', indicating a promise or willingness to do something. It expresses a future action.

• Girl, I think I'm dyin' real soon

  ➔ Contraction and colloquial language

  ➔ 'I'm' is a contraction of 'I am', and 'dyin'' is a colloquial shortening of 'dying'. This demonstrates a relaxed, informal tone common in Peep's lyrics.

• I'ma keep you in mind

  ➔ Slang/AAVE - 'I'ma' as a contraction of 'I am going to'

  ➔ 'I'ma' is a common contraction in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and increasingly in popular culture, meaning 'I am going to'. It adds a casual and conversational feel.

• While I drive right by

  ➔ Subordinate clause with 'while'

  ➔ 'While' introduces a subordinate clause indicating simultaneous action. It shows that the action of 'keeping someone in mind' happens *at the same time* as the action of driving by.
