[English]
I switch to airplane mode when she calls me
I'm in the middle of freestyling, sorry my dear
Hennessy cocktails, near Bagatelle
VIP section's packed tonight, everyone's wilding out
Vybz Kartel blasting, 'tel, 'tel, 'tel, 'tel
Too many shawtys, can't pick which one, which one, which one
I want wine for me (hm)
Tonight, heat up the night (hm)
Island brands looking fine
Petite Latinas like "play it smooth" ("joga bonito," ah, ah, ouh)
I’m in airplane mode, airplane mode (I’m in airplane mode)
Dropping all my cash in front of my ride
Green bud, we’re too scattered for Papillon (ouh, ouh)
Don’t mess with us, I’m dressed too clean
Got four stacks, no fear
In four whips, posted at the barber’s spot
Ending up grinding from the dancefloor to the docks (ah-han)
Babe, it’s not the same—I want that wine
I switch to airplane mode when she calls me
I'm in the middle of freestyling, sorry my dear
Hennessy cocktails, near Bagatelle
VIP section's packed tonight, everyone's wilding out
Vybz Kartel blasting, 'tel, 'tel, 'tel, 'tel
Too many shawtys, can't pick which one, which one, which one
I want wine for me (hm)
Tonight, heat up the night (hm)
Island brands looking fine
Petite Latinas like "play it smooth" ("joga bonito," ah, ah)
When it’s King, you’re never around (never around)
With Penelope in a big Vela (big Vela)
Little boy knocked out, coffee time
In the back, Juklev just stares at me
On the floor, I keep her dancing (eh-eh-eh, mm-hm)
We could start a war
For a boy-chain price, don’t slip up (hm-hm)
I switch to airplane mode when she calls me
I'm in the middle of freestyling, sorry my dear
Hennessy cocktails, near Bagatelle
VIP section's packed tonight, everyone's wilding out
Vybz Kartel blasting, 'tel, 'tel, 'tel, 'tel
Too many shawtys, can't pick which one, which one, which one
I want wine for me (hm)
Tonight, heat up the night (hm)
Island brands looking fine
Petite Latinas like "play it smooth" ("joga bonito")
Shawtys, shawtys
Shawty, shawty
Shawty, shawty
Too many jattas, shawtys

Key Grammar Structures

  • J'me mets en mode avion, quand elle m'appelle

    ➔ Reflexive verb + prepositional phrase; subordinate clause with "quand" (when).

    ➔ The verb "me mets" is a reflexive form of "mettre" meaning "to put oneself". The clause "quand elle m'appelle" tells us the condition.

  • J'suis entrain de freestyle, j'suis désolé, ma belle

    ➔ Present progressive with "être en train de + infinitive"; informal contraction "j'suis" for "je suis".

    "être en train de" + "freestyle" means "to be in the middle of freestyling". "j'suis" is a spoken contraction of "je suis".

  • Y a trop d'shatta, j'sais pas choisir laquelle, 'quelle, 'quelle...

    ➔ Existential "il y a" contracted to "y a"; negative "ne...pas" with colloquial omission of "ne"; relative pronoun "laquelle".

    "y a" is the spoken form of "il y a" (there is/are). "j'sais pas" drops the "ne" in the negation. "laquelle" refers to "which one" (feminine).

  • Il ne faut plus nous pétard, j'suis trop bien habillé

    ➔ Impersonal expression "il faut" + infinitive; negation with "ne...plus" (no longer); reflexive pronoun "nous" as indirect object.

    "Il faut" means "it is necessary to". Adding "ne...plus" makes it "no longer necessary". "nous" is the indirect object of "péter" (slang for "to smoke"), here omitted for style.

  • J'fais tomber tous mes billets devant mon avion

    ➔ Verb "faire" + infinitive to express causing an action; colloquial omission of "e" in "je"; placement of direct object before infinitive.

    "fais tomber" = "make fall". The direct object "tous mes billets" comes before the infinitive "tomber".

  • On peut faire la guerre pour le prix d'une chaîne pour garçon

    ➔ Modal verb "pouvoir" in present tense; infinitive construction "faire la guerre"; prepositional phrase "pour le prix de".

    "On peut" = "we can". The infinitive "faire la guerre" means "to wage war". "pour le prix d'" indicates purpose or exchange: "for the price of".

  • J'veux du wine pour moi (hm)

    ➔ Verb "vouloir" in present with colloquial contraction "j'"; partitive article "du" before uncountable noun; prepositional phrase "pour moi".

    "J'veux" = "I want". "du wine" uses the partitive article because "wine" is uncountable. "pour moi" means "for me".

  • J'suis en mode avion, mode avion (j'suis en mode avion)

    ➔ Copular verb "être" in present; noun phrase as predicate "en mode avion"; repetition for emphasis.

    "Je suis" contracts to "j'suis". The phrase "en mode avion" functions as a predicative noun phrase describing the state.

  • Sur du Vybz Kartel, 'tel, 'tel, 'tel, 'tel

    ➔ Prepositional phrase "sur du" indicating music genre; use of "du" as partitive article before a proper name.

    "sur du" literally means "on some" and is used colloquially to say "listening to" a certain artist, here "Vybz Kartel".
