Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Surrender your mind

Because now your body belongs to me

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Listen, I'm on a mission, I never been the one to fit in

I do it different, I find a spaceship, and I get in

I got ignition, I got that twenty-twenty vision

One in a million (That's what- what- what)

Listen, I'm on a mission, I never been the one to fit in

I do it different, I find a spaceship and I get in

I got ignition, I got that twenty-twenty vision

One in a million, that's why I'm winning

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

Billions of these humans (humans)

Spinning on a ball of confusion (confusion)

Some kids I went to school with (school with)

Gave up on their dreams, they said screw it (screw it)

I said "Ooh, I'ma make some music" (I'ma make some music)

Even if they tell me it won't do shit (I gotta do it)

Damn, I fucking knew it (I fucking knew it)

I'm blowing up quick, I said "boom, bitch"

I can give a few tips (I can give a few tips)

Gotta get the roots 'fore you get the fruit

Then ignore the suits they don't got a clue

You just gotta move, bitch, and that's the truth

I'm the living proof you can have it too

Listen, I'm on a mission, I never been the one to fit in

I do it different, I find a spaceship, and I get in

I got ignition, I got that twenty-twenty vision

One in a million (That's what- what- what)

Listen, I'm on a mission, I never been the one to fit in

I do it different, I find a spaceship, and I get in

I got ignition, I got that twenty-twenty vision

One in a million that's why I'm winning

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh) (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

(Woah) T-t-travel 'cross the stars on a beam of light (beam of light)

As I venture forth keep my circle tight (circle tight)

You not on my vibe, I am not polite (I'm not polite)

You not levelled up, I ain't got the time

Meditate on edibles and try to eat your vegetables

Eventually you'll realize, reality is bendable

It's only hypothetical

But really is pathetical

If you don't get a Tarot deck you never get the pentacles

I can give a few tips

Gotta get the roots 'fore you get the fruit

Then ignore the suits they don't got a clue

You just gotta move, bitch, and that's the truth

I'm the living proof you can have it too

(Ooh, Ooh) Uh oh

(Ooh, ooh) (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

(Ooh, ooh) I like that

(Ooh, ooh) Let's go

Listen, I'm on a mission

I never been the one to fit in (I never been the one to fit in)

I do it different

I find a spaceship, and I get in (I find a spaceship and I get in)

I got ignition, I got that twenty-twenty vision

One in a million (What- what- what)

That's what- what- what, here we go

Listen I'm on a mission

I never been the one to fit in (I never been the one to fit in)

I do it different

I find a spaceship, and I get in (I find a spaceship and I get in)

I got ignition, I got that twenty-twenty vision (vision)

One in a million that's why I'm winning (ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh) That's why I'm winning

(Ooh, ooh) Initiating take off

(Ooh, ooh) In three, two

(Ooh, ooh)

Key Grammar Structures

• Because now your body **belongs** to me

  ➔ present simple, passive voice

  ➔ "belongs" is a verb in the present simple passive meaning “is owned by”.

• I **never been** the one to fit in

  ➔ present perfect (auxiliary omitted)

  ➔ "never been" should be “have never been”; the auxiliary “have” is omitted in casual speech.

• I **do** it different

  ➔ simple present, adverb vs. adjective error

  ➔ "do" is in the simple present; normally we would say “do it **differently**” (adverb).

• I **got** ignition, I **got** that twenty‑twenty vision

  ➔ simple present with “got” = have

  ➔ "got" functions as the present‑tense form of “have” (“I **got**” = “I have”).

• **One in a million**

  ➔ idiom

  ➔ "One in a million" is an idiom meaning “very rare”.

• If you **don't** get a Tarot deck you **never** get the pentacles

  ➔ zero conditional

  ➔ "If" + present simple ("don't"), result clause also in present simple ("never"). It expresses a general truth.

• I **can** give a few tips

  ➔ modal verb ‘can’ + infinitive

  ➔ "can" is a modal verb indicating ability; it is followed by the base form “give”.

• I'm the living proof you **can** have it too

  ➔ relative clause, modal verb

  ➔ "you **can** have it too" is a relative clause modifying “proof”; "can" again shows ability.

• **Gotta** get the roots 'fore you get the fruit

  ➔ colloquial contraction “gotta”, informal “'fore” = before

  ➔ "**Gotta**" = “have got to” (must). "'fore" is a poetic contraction of “before”.
