[English]

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happened to you

You would cry, yeah, yeah

Got no ice

DJ's not here and I called him more than twice

But he won't pick up

Where the guys?

I've had a couple of friends come, not the ones I really like

What the f-?

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happened to you

You would cry too if it happened to you

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happened to you

You would cry, yeah, yeah

It's my party, I got kush I got molly

Thats your girl, she ain't cute, but she got body

I'm a get her, I'm a hit it, then forget her

You can take her back like a Indian giver

Dollar $ign, yeah, I'm all she ever wanna see

She in bed with you, but she still texting me

She wanna turn up with a real one

Pop blue xans now she can't feel nothing

Gone to the moon I got on space jams

Got a white girl and she got a spray tan

I'ma introduce her to my black bitch

Threesome we're an ice cream sandwich

It's my party, it's my party, it's my party

Got your main bitch and she getting naughty

If she don't tell me what she wan' do

You's a bitch, you could cry if you want to

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happened to you

You would cry too if it happened to you

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happened to you

You would cry, yeah, yeah

Key Grammar Structures

• It's my party and I'll cry "if" I want to

  ➔ First conditional (future simple + if)

  ➔ The clause ""if" I want to"" uses the first conditional to talk about a possible future action.

• You would cry too "if" it happened to you

  ➔ Second conditional (would + base verb + if + past simple)

  ➔ The structure ""if" it happened to you"" forms a second conditional, describing an unreal or unlikely situation.

• I've had a couple of friends "come"

  ➔ Present perfect (have/has + past participle)

  ➔ The verb phrase ""have had"" plus the past participle "come" indicates an action that occurred at an unspecified time before now.

• Thats your girl, she "ain't" cute

  ➔ Use of "ain't" as a negative auxiliary

  ➔ The word ""ain't"" replaces "is not" or "are not" in informal speech.

• I'm"a" get her, I'm"a" hit it, then forget her

  ➔ "I'ma" = "I am going to" (future intention)

  ➔ The contraction ""I'ma"" is slang for "I am going to", showing a plan or intention.

• She "wanna" turn up with a real one

  ➔ "wanna" = "want to" (informal verb phrase)

  ➔ The word ""wanna"" merges "want" and "to", typical in casual speech.

• If she "don't" tell me what she wan' do

  ➔ Non‑standard subject‑verb agreement (singular subject with "don't")

  ➔ Standard English would use "doesn't" with a singular subject; "don't" is colloquial or dialectal.

• I "got" kush, I "got" molly

  ➔ "got" used as a present‑tense verb meaning "have"

  ➔ In informal speech, "I "got"" means "I have"; it is a colloquial alternative to "have".
