Lyrics & Translation

[English]

JAE5

If you send me the location

Then I'll be right there

And make I come check you, my baby

No time, no

And my dawg is on probation

Another five years

Me bring girls to his location

No time, no

Send me the location

This year about vacations

Flight catching, train taking

Soon as my nigga off probation

Your boyfriend's on a waiting ting

Looking for one wish, on a Ray J ting

I pree'd that girl, outrageous ting

But she can't see 'cause I got shades and ting

Bare girls wanna throw shade and ting

No shade, what shade is your foundation in?

Darkest grey, the shade I'm in

49 more if your babes wants in

I had me a famous ting

Goals and tings, gains and tings

My house party, a babe station

Girls wanna chase, it's a status ting

If you send me the location

Then I'll be right there

And make I come check you, my baby

No time, no

And my dawg is on probation

Another five years

Me bring girls to his location

No time, no

Look, playboy, I don't need a Carti

I'm captain, I lead the army

Bad ratio, I leave the party

Three Somalis creepin' on me

Your ex wavy, we tsunami

Girl from India, sweet as naani

Head so good, now I speak Gujarati

You hardly, pardon me, I'm laughing again

I assisted, man, passed to my friend

Look, money like the alphabet

If you wanna see P's, gotta pass on the ends

Came a long way from a park in the bends

To an '18 plate, man's parking a Benz

Far from the rest but I'm far from my best

Life is a lesson, I'm passing a test

Yes, everyting blessed

I don't want drama and I don't want stress

My girl got finesse, Caribbean flex

Body and chest, take buddy in chest

Thank God more, I grew up with less

Juss to the right, Rapz to the left

Rj in the middle, got Cee to the death

Batch full of dogs with the '60s vets

If you send me the location

Then I'll be right there

And make I come check you, my baby

No time, no

And my dawg is on probation

Another five years

Me bring girls to his location

Nigga I was down but I made it to the top right now

(Right now, right now, right now)

And I can pull a couple grand out my pocket right now

(Right now, right now, right now)

Yeah, I'm so fly, yeah, I'm flyer than a rocket right now

(Right now, right now, right now)

And all the games you play, never stop right now

(Right now, right now, right now)

I pull up on the block, I see everybody watching

'Cause there's diamonds on my chain

And there's diamonds on my watch

Money moves, Off-White shoes

Came straight from Virgil Abloh

I've been down, I've been low

Had my mattress on the floor

No map, North Cap, bend it up

Gyal a ring-ring my cellular

Mi 'ave big fat spliff 'pon me, nuh

Inna the big black Benz, pullin' up

Please tell everybody to start pullin' up

'Nough champagne from the bar comin' up

Party hard, make her live my life, oh

Nigga I was down but I made it to the top right now

(Right now, right now, right now)

And I can pull a couple grand out my pocket right now

(Right now, right now, right now)

Yeah, I'm so fly, yeah, I'm flyer than a rocket right now

(Right now, right now, right now)

And all the games you play never stop right now

(Right now, right now, right now)

If you send me the location

Then I'll be right there

And make I come check you, my baby

No time, no

And my dawg is on probation

Another five years

Me bring girls to his location

No time, no

Key Grammar Structures

• If you send me the location, then I'll be right there

  ➔ First Conditional

  ➔ The clause **"If you send"** uses the present simple after *if*, and the result clause **"I'll be"** uses *will* + base verb to talk about a future result.

• And make I come check you, my baby

  ➔ Causative verb + bare infinitive (make + object + base verb)

  ➔ The structure **"make I come"** uses the causative verb *make* followed directly by the subject *I* and the bare infinitive *come*.

• I'm captain, I lead the army

  ➔ Simple present + copular verb (be) for identification

  ➔ The sentence uses the copular verb **"am"** in **"I'm"** to link the subject *I* with the noun *captain*, followed by another present‑simple clause **"I lead"**.

• I can pull a couple grand out my pocket right now

  ➔ Modal verb *can* + base verb (ability)

  ➔ The modal **"can"** expresses ability, followed by the base verb **"pull"**.

• I've been down, I've been low

  ➔ Present perfect (have/has + past participle)

  ➔ The contraction **"I've"** stands for *I have*; *have been* + *down/low* shows a state that started in the past and continues to the present.

• No time, no

  ➔ Ellipsis / zero copula (omitted verb)

  ➔ The phrase **"No time"** drops the verb *is* (as in *There is no time*), a common informal ellipsis in spoken English.

• If you wanna see P's, gotta pass on the ends

  ➔ Informal contraction *gotta* = have to (modal necessity)

  ➔ The informal **"gotta"** replaces *have to*; it functions like a modal verb expressing obligation.

• I don't need a Carti

  ➔ Simple present negative with *don't* + base verb

  ➔ The negative particle **"don't"** (do + not) combines with the base verb **"need"** to form a present‑simple negation.

• Came a long way from a park in the bends

  ➔ Simple past (regular verb *came*) for narrative

  ➔ The verb **"Came"** is the past simple form of *come*, indicating an action completed in the past.
