Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Uh, these niggas go off what they heard, but see, we go off verse

I tell the truth off in my line, they gon' feel every word

These pussy niggas standin' on cars, we stand on words

My partner beggin' for a body, my nigga, my nerve

The same niggas say he want smoke, they end up in urns

Hey, you know death come in threes, bitch, just wait your turn

I learned some shit 'bout these niggas that I cannot unlearn

I told these niggas, "We gon' be straight," but these niggas turned

Wonder over bitches, niggas still ain't learned

How the fuck you bite the hand that feed you, niggas still ain't learned?

Told my bitch that I don't want these hoes, they just ain't good like you

Bought a Louis bag and d**o, I'mma go and get it for you

Swervo, put a nigga with good intentions on hold, Lord

Fuck that money up and got it back, them hoes love that

If I ever leave, I'm comin' back, you better know that

I was just trippin', I was gon' get back

Brodie hit my dog up twice, we got some get back

Heard your lil' dog lost his life, and he ain't sleep yet

I got like ten chains, I done spent like fifty on one pendant

Johnny Dang, I done spent a sixty on the system

My vanilla cost a sixty

My old man cost four fifty, and my LO another sixty

You're thinkin' you gon' roll a sixty

I don't fuck with you lil' sisters, you a perc just like bitches

I buy purses for my bitches, we buy herses for them snitches

Yeah

I'mma say, "How the fuck you havin' ho problems, but you so paid?"

Mad, I can't never keep up with all these blue Ray

Mad, these niggas tried to count me out, these niggas too fast

Mad, pistols layin' around my house, I wish they would play

We wish you opp niggas in real life, we don't do games

We take pain medicine every day, we been through pain

Quick to blow a nigga shit out

Johnny Co-Train

Key Grammar Structures

• Uh, these niggas go off what they heard, but see, we go off verse

  ➔ Noun Clause as Object of Preposition

  ➔ The phrase "what they heard" functions as a noun clause, acting as the object of the preposition "off". This structure allows a clause to take the place of a noun.

• I tell the truth off in my line, they gon' feel every word

  ➔ Informal Future Tense ("gon' ")

  ➔ "gon' " is a colloquial contraction of "going to", used to express future intentions or predictions, often in informal speech.

• I learned some shit 'bout these niggas that I cannot unlearn

  ➔ Defining Relative Clause

  ➔ The clause "that I cannot unlearn" is a defining relative clause. It provides essential information about "some shit", specifying which "shit" is being referred to.

• How the fuck you bite the hand that feed you, niggas still ain't learned?

  ➔ Idiomatic Expression + Informal Negative Auxiliary ("ain't")

  ➔ "Bite the hand that feed you" is an idiom meaning to harm someone who has helped you. "Ain't" is an informal contraction for "hasn't" or "haven't" (among others), used here for the present perfect negative.

• Told my bitch that I don't want these hoes, they just ain't good like you

  ➔ Reported Speech (with implied "that") and Simile

  ➔ The sentence uses reported speech (the "that" after "Told my bitch" is often omitted in informal speech). It also contains a simile, comparing "these hoes" to "you" using "like" to show similarity.

• If I ever leave, I'm comin' back, you better know that

  ➔ First Conditional + "Had Better" (for strong advice/warning)

  ➔ This is a first conditional sentence ("If + present simple, future simple/present continuous") describing a real or likely situation and its probable result. "You better know that" is an informal way of saying "You had better know that," expressing strong advice or a warning.

• Heard your lil' dog lost his life, and he ain't sleep yet

  ➔ Past Simple + Informal Negative Auxiliary ("ain't") with "yet" and non-standard past participle

  ➔ "Lost his life" is in the past simple tense. "He ain't sleep yet" uses "ain't" as an informal substitute for "hasn't" in the present perfect, combined with "yet" to indicate something has not happened up to the present moment. Note the non-standard use of "sleep" instead of "slept" (past participle).

• I got like ten chains, I done spent like fifty on one pendant

  ➔ Informal Present Perfect ("done spent") + Approximation ("like")

  ➔ "Done spent" is an informal construction used to emphasize the completion of an action, similar to "have spent" or "had spent". "Like" is used colloquially to indicate approximation, meaning "approximately" or "around".

• Mad, I can't never keep up with all these blue Ray

  ➔ Double Negative (for emphasis in informal English)

  ➔ The phrase "can't never" is a double negative. While grammatically incorrect in standard English (it would logically mean "can always"), it is used in some informal dialects (like AAVE) for emphasis, meaning "can absolutely never".

• We take pain medicine every day, we been through pain

  ➔ Informal Present Perfect Simple ("been through")

  ➔ "We been through pain" is an informal contraction of "We have been through pain," using "been" without the auxiliary "have" to express an experience that started in the past and continues to affect the present.
