[English]

Yeah, yeah

You heard the song straight, straight off my iPod

Straight off the tumblr blog

I am a god, yes, sir

Keepin' my money stacked up on the dresser

You copy-paste the vibe, I never chase the vibe

Bitch, look alive, I'm doin' drugs tonight

Ones that I'm not prescribed, yeah

I'm cranking up

Old technology, shit out of luck

What do you want from me?

I'm having fun tonight

I'm doing drugs tonight, I

I'm cranking up

Old technology, fuck your critique (Yeah)

Bitch, what do you want from me?

I need some peace of mind

I'm doin' drugs tonight

I'm—, I'm—

I'm doing drugs tonight

I'm—, I'm—

I'm—

I need some peace of mind

I'm doing drugs tonight

I want a new face, facin' em all down

Don't wanna come around

Relapse, into a bender

Big bag of rack on the dresser

You copy-paste the vibe, I never chase the vibe

I hope I die, I'm doin' drugs tonight

Ones that I'm not prescribed, oh, I

I'm cranking up

Old technology, shit out of luck

What do you want from me?

I'm having fun tonight

I'm doing drugs tonight, I

I'm cranking up

Old technology, fuck your critique (Yeah)

Bitch, what do you want from me?

I need some peace of mind

Key Grammar Structures

• I am a god, yes, sir

  ➔ Declarative statement with a tag question.

  ➔ The sentence asserts a claim ("I am a god") and then seeks confirmation with the tag question "yes, sir". This is a stylistic choice for emphasis and a slightly provocative tone. The use of 'sir' adds a layer of irony.

• You copy-paste the vibe, I never chase the vibe

  ➔ Parallel structure with present simple tense.

  ➔ The sentence uses a parallel structure to contrast the actions of 'you' and 'I'. Both clauses use the present simple tense to describe habitual actions or general truths. The phrase 'copy-paste the vibe' is a modern idiom meaning to imitate someone's style.

• I hope I die, I'm doin' drugs tonight

  ➔ Expressive statement with a subjunctive mood ('hope') followed by a present continuous tense.

  ➔ This line is highly provocative and uses hyperbole. 'I hope I die' is a dramatic expression of despair or self-destructive tendencies. The present continuous ('I'm doin' drugs tonight') indicates an action happening now, reinforcing the immediacy and recklessness.
