Lyrics:

[English]

When they say, "She get it from her mama"

I'ma say, "You got it right"

Body rude, it's unpolite

Done bein' the humble type

Tell me, is you down?

'Cause I'm tryna go up tonight

Hoes and hoochies left and right

I just wanna live in a fantasy

I think we deserve it, right?

Top all the memories

I've ever made in my life

Permanent ecstasy

Ladies is pimps tonight

Livin' inside a dream

Let's lay where the lover's lie

I put that on my own mama, on my hood

I look fly, I look good

You can't touch my bag, wish you could

I look fly, I look too good

Put that on my own mama, on my hood

I look fly, I look good

You can't touch my bag, wish you could

I look fly, I look too good

On my mama (mama), on my hood (hood)

I look fly (yeah), I look good (good)

Touch my swag (swag), wish you could (could)

I look fly (yeah), I look good (good)

I'm so deep in my bag like a grandma with a peppermint

They say, "Ooh, she smell good"

That's just 'cause I'm heaven-sent

Sex game go stupid (aye)

Snappin' like a toothpick (aye)

Man, to tell the truth, your opinion is irrelevant

(But I) I know you think I'm fine

Might be too fine to hit it from behind

Reflection in the mirror, don't decline

I can't even lie, lie, lie

I put that on my own mama, on my hood

I look fly, I look good

You can't touch my bag, wish you could

I look fly, I look too good

Put that on my own mama, on my hood (on my hood, aye)

I look fly, I look good (I look fly, I look good, aye, aye)

You can't touch my bag (touch my bag), wish you could (you wish you could)

I look fly, I look too good

On my mama (mama), on my hood (hood)

I look fly (yeah), I look good (good)

Touch my swag (swag), wish you could (could)

I look fly (yeah), I look good (good)

On my mama (mama), on my hood (on my hood)

I look fly (I look fly), I look good (I look good)

Touch my swag, wish you could (I know you wish you could)

I look fly (I look fly), I look good (I look good)

Mama, on my hood

I look fly, I look good

I know you wish you could

Grammar:

  • When they say, "She get it from her mama"

    ➔ Ellipsis (omission of 'gets')

    ➔ The verb "gets" is omitted for brevity and stylistic effect in colloquial speech. It implies "she "gets" it from her mama". This is common in informal language.

  • Done bein' the humble type

    ➔ Present perfect continuous (informal) / Non-standard 'bein'

    "Done bein'" is a colloquial shortening of "done "being"". It indicates that the subject has stopped being humble. The use of "bein'" is non-standard but common in some dialects.

  • Tell me, is you down?

    ➔ Non-standard subject-verb agreement ('is' with 'you')

    ➔ The correct grammatical form would be "Are you down?". The use of "is" with "you" is a feature of some dialects, particularly African American Vernacular English (AAVE).

  • I just wanna live in a fantasy

    ➔ Contraction of 'want to' to 'wanna'

    "Wanna" is a colloquial contraction of "want to", used commonly in informal speech and songs.

  • Ladies is pimps tonight

    ➔ Non-standard subject-verb agreement ('is' with 'ladies')

    ➔ Grammatically, it should be "Ladies are pimps tonight". The use of "is" instead of "are" is a common feature of AAVE and contributes to the song's style and rhythm.

  • You can't touch my bag, wish you could

    ➔ Conditional clause (implied): If you could

    "Wish you could" implies a conditional statement, such as "I wish you could touch my bag (but you can't)" or "If you could touch my bag...". The full conditional is left implicit.

  • I'm so deep in my bag like a grandma with a peppermint

    ➔ Simile using 'like' to compare being deep in a bag to a grandma with a peppermint

    ➔ This line uses a simile to create a vivid image. "Deep in my bag" is a metaphor for being focused on making money or being successful. The comparison to a grandma with a peppermint adds humor and emphasizes how engrossed the speaker is.
