Lyrics:

[English]

I, I let you drive around my mind

I can't count the times you made me feel like I'm nothing

Played me like a fool, like a fool

Saying, "Drink another whiskey

Pop another pill

Money makes you happy

Heaven isn't real

You won't find nobody to love

Because your heart's too broke"

Now I know

You ain't nothin' but a liar

Yeah, I walk right out the fire

Yeah, you try to keep me down

Try to put me underground

But I'm only going higher

I can hear you in head

In my bed when I'm dreamin'

You try to be my friend

But you're blowin' smoke

Oh, and now, I ain't scared of

Tellin' you where you can go

'Cause I know

You're nothing but a liar

You burned me one too many times

Like a devil in disguise, hiding your true colors

Just leave me alone

Keep leading me on

Saying, "Drink another whiskey

Pop another pill

Money makes you happy

Heaven isn't real

You won't find nobody to love

Because your heart's too broke"

Now I know

You ain't nothin' but a liar

Yeah, you try to keep me down

Try to put me underground

But I'm only going higher

I can hear you in head

In my bed when I'm dreamin'

You try to be my friend

But you're blowin' smoke

Oh, and now, I ain't scared of

Grammar:

I let you drive around my mind

➔ Causative verb "let"

➔ The verb "let" in this context means to allow or permit someone to do something. "I let you drive around my mind" implies that the speaker allowed someone to influence their thoughts and feelings.
You made me feel like I'm nothing

➔ Subjective mood / Subjunctive mood

➔ The phrase "like I'm nothing" uses "am" instead of "was" after "like," implying a feeling, assumption, or hypothetical state. In formal English, the subjunctive mood ("like I were nothing") might be preferred, but the indicative is common, especially in spoken English. Here it describes the feeling someone *caused* the speaker to have.
You try to keep me down

➔ Verb + particle combination

➔ "Keep down" is a phrasal verb meaning to suppress or prevent someone from rising or succeeding. Here, it refers to the effort of the "liar" to demoralize or control the speaker.
But I'm only going higher

➔ Present Continuous for future intention

➔ The sentence uses the present continuous tense ("I'm going") to express a future intention or a planned action. The speaker is emphasizing their determination to rise above the negativity and challenges.
I can hear you in my head

➔ Modal verb of ability - 'can'

➔ The modal verb "can" indicates the speaker's ability to hear the "liar"'s voice or influence within their own mind. It implies that the liar's words and manipulative tactics are still present in their thoughts, despite the speaker's attempts to move on.
You try to be my friend, But you're blowin' smoke

➔ Present Continuous Tense to describe something that is not true

➔ You're blowin' smoke" uses the present continuous tense to describe a deceptive action. "Blowing smoke" is an idiom that means trying to deceive or mislead someone with empty talk or false pretenses.
If I was doin' what you do, Then you would swear I poisoned you

➔ Second Conditional

➔ This sentence is an example of the second conditional, which is used to talk about unreal or improbable situations in the present or future. The structure is "If + past simple, would + infinitive". Note the use of "was" even though "were" is formally correct, this is common in informal English.
