[English]

We Coming…

We Coming…

We Coming…

Sim Simma I just want buy me a Beema

Tick tick blow up, Hiroshima

Who am I, I'm that ni**a

Who am I, I'm that ni**a

Yaowww

Real ni**a, no faking, Island Boy, but I ain't Jamaican

In my hood they flip work & then chop bricks like they're half Asian

Gone jail can't save him, getting dough so the cops take him

Please tell they're motherscunt to kick rocks & stop hating

All you ever been was a shoulda coulda woulda

Me on the other hand, well I'm the girls them sugar

Just me & my brother, hot like St. Thomas summer

All I wanted was a Beema & to move out the gutter

The world is ours, Scarface even though we came from a small place

No matter where I'm at I'm VI, all day

The St. Thomas Kanye, need a feature call Ray

Ain't stopping til everybody in the hood all say MAYDAY!

Sim Simma I just want buy me a Beema

Tick tick blow up, Hiroshima

Who am I, I'm that ni**a

Who am I, I'm that ni**a

Bad man, bad man all I know is bad man

Houzin down to Savan, I does run with Rock Man

Rock man, rock man yes I am a rock man

But I got girls from Cruz & I got girls from St. John

New slang, new slang I spitting that new slang

I ain't never had nothing, man been broke for to long

Wassup, wassup tell them haters wassup

If they looking for me I'm vacationing on Vessup

Hold on, hold on please big man just hold on

This is not no softness, this is not no love song

Theron, Theron yes my name is Theron

My mother name me Theron, when you see me call me Theron

Sim Simma I just want buy me a Beema

Tick tick blow up, Hiroshima

Who am I, I'm that ni**a

Who am I, I'm that ni**a

I went to the prom in a foreign car

I be going hard like it's no tomorrow

Parallel park by the Georgia Dome, in the parking lot getting Georgia Dome

A T L A N T A GA is where I stay

I came up in a trap house & booming ye like everyday

I might pull up in that bitch in a Porsche, showing no remorse

Yelling fuck y'all, intercourse

Winners choice I get em moist, PRPS is my denim choice

Everything I got exclusive, if there's a lot their won't be anymore

I'm getting pussy galore, opportunity knocking it's been at the door

I just might be in my Maybach, I had a Beema before

Sim Simma I just want buy me a Beema

Tick tick blow up, Hiroshima

Who am I, I'm that ni**a

Who am I, I'm that ni**a

Key Grammar Structures

• Real ni**a, no faking, Island Boy, but I ain't Jamaican

  ➔ Negative Contraction & Coordination

  ➔ The use of "ain't" is a contraction of "am not/is not/are not", common in informal speech. The sentence coordinates multiple phrases with commas, contrasting the 'Island Boy' persona with not being Jamaican. The use of 'but' introduces a contrast.

• Gone jail can't save him, getting dough so the cops take him

  ➔ Reduced Relative Clause & Gerund as Subject

  ➔ "Gone jail" acts as a reduced relative clause modifying 'him' (someone *who has gone to jail*). "Getting dough" functions as a gerund phrase acting as the reason for the cops taking him.

• Please tell they're motherscunt to kick rocks & stop hating

  ➔ Imperative Mood & Possessive Pronoun Error

  ➔ The sentence uses the imperative mood with "Please tell". However, "they're" is a contraction of "they are" and should be "their" to show possession (their mothers). This is a common grammatical error.

• All I wanted was a Beema & to move out the gutter

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Past Unreal) & Coordination

  ➔ The phrase "All I wanted was..." implies a past unreal situation – a desire that may not have been fulfilled. The use of 'was' instead of 'were' after 'I' is correct in this subjunctive construction. The sentence coordinates two desires: a car and a better living situation.

• Ain't stopping til everybody in the hood all say MAYDAY!

  ➔ Negative Contraction & Intensifier

  ➔ "Ain't stopping" is a colloquial contraction of "is not stopping". The word "all" before "say" acts as an intensifier, emphasizing that *everyone* needs to say MAYDAY. The exclamation point adds further emphasis.
