Mind Gone
Lyrics:
[English]
What's your sign? What's your sign? What's your-
Alright, what's your name? What you do? What's your sign?
I say, oh, what's your name? What you do? What's your sign? (What's your sign?)
I like your eyes, do you like mine though?
Play no mind games, that's 'cause my mind gone
I make your wrist go bling blaow on 'em
I make your wrist go bling bloaw, don't mean no rhinestones
She a pretty bitch, I threw my wallet 'cause my heart gone
I ain't check it, I ain't got it on the yacht, no
I stumbled in but got his first to come with lovin' on me
I'm not a type to call, no patience 'cause my life is a freak
If your love is something I can buy, then it gotta be cheap
What's your name? What you do? What's your-
If your love is something I can buy, then it gotta be cheap
What's your name? What you do? What's your sign? (What's your sign?)
I like your vibe, do you like mine though?
She said she put her hands on folks, never mind though
She said I ain't no real baller, what do I know? (What do I know?)
I don't mind though, I mean there's plenty you can't see, wearing a blindfold
I don't need advisors on T, I dot my I's though
I just need some loving on me
That's where my mind gone, that's where my mind gone now
They say, "Boy, you obvious when it all goes down"
Just be proud of me, I ain't got it all figured out
Say what you do? What's your name? What's your vibe?
When we get high, can we go out?
And she don't like to party, she'd rather stay in her house
And I don't like you leaving, baby, stay with me a while
And I can't take this far until I figure you all out
And I don't want you hurting, baby girl, I want your smile
And I don't care what they be saying 'cause I want you
And, girl, I know you got a man, but, bae, I want you
They gon' say I'm delusional the way I want you
Just make sure I can pull up, kill it when I want to
Just make sure I can pull up, kill it when I want to
Just make sure I can pull up, kill it when I want to
What's your name? What you do? What's your sign? (What's your sign?)
I like your vibe, do you like mine though?
She said she put her hands on folks, never mind though
She said I ain't no real baller, what do I know? (What do I know?)
I don't mind though, I mean there's plenty you can't see, wearing a blindfold
I don't need advisors on T, I dot my I's though
I just need some loving on me
That's where my mind gone, that's where my mind gone now
They say, "Boy, you obvious when it all goes down"
Just be proud of me, I ain't got it all figured out
Oh, just be proud of me, I ain't got it all figured out
What's your name? What's your-, what's your-
End transition, oh
...

Grammar:
-
I like your eyes, do you like mine though?
➔ Interrogative with 'though'
➔ 'Though' is used here as an afterthought, implying a contrast or reservation. It softens the question, meaning "Do you like mine, *even though* there might be a reason not to?"
-
Play no mind games, that's 'cause my mind gone
➔ Double Negative (Non-standard)
➔ The phrase "play no mind games" uses a double negative. In standard English, this would mean "play mind games". However, in some dialects and informal speech, it reinforces the negative, meaning "don't play mind games at all". The second part uses slang, "my mind gone" implying a mental state of being distracted or not in control.
-
I make your wrist go bling blaow on 'em
➔ Causative 'make' with slang
➔ The sentence uses the causative verb "make", meaning "I cause your wrist to...". "Bling blaow" is onomatopoeia representing the sound of expensive jewelry. "On 'em" is slang for "on them" or other people
-
I ain't check it, I ain't got it on the yacht, no
➔ Negative Contraction and Tag Question
➔ "Ain't" is a non-standard contraction for "am not", "is not", "are not", "has not", or "have not". Here it means "didn't". The "no" at the end acts as a tag question, reinforcing the negative statement.
-
If your love is something I can buy, then it gotta be cheap
➔ Conditional Sentence (Mixed)
➔ This is a mixed conditional. The 'if' clause refers to a hypothetical situation (your love is something I *can* buy) in the present, and the 'then' clause draws a conclusion about the consequence (it *gotta* be cheap). "Gotta" is a colloquial abbreviation of "got to" meaning "has to".
-
I don't need advisors on T, I dot my I's though
➔ Figurative Language and Informal Contraction
➔ "Advisors on T" uses figurative language, likely alluding to television or gossip/news (tea). "I dot my I's" is an idiom meaning "I pay attention to detail." The informal contraction is "don't". The 'though' serves as a contrast to the first part of the sentence.
