[English]

Beep, boy, drippin' that sauce

Gotta watch them close as ones, we know they'll tell, I keep a frown

When the smoke clear off, only ones who love you gon' be 'round

Gotta watch these hoes, I know they ain't give a fuck when I was down

Who the fuck these niggas?

If I tote this pistol, I'ma just sit back, don't make no sound

And I'm peepin'

Get up and lock the door, the soul leavin'

Tell 'em, "Fuck 'em," I'ma need it just leave it

And I been goin' through some things that you don't see-ee-ee

You must ain't fuckin' with a nigga

Solvin' my problems like a rollercoaster

I'll be happy when this all is over

I'll be better when you call me over

She ain't no different, I ain't trippin', just revoke her

And the bitch got different swag, she

Doin' her dab, she come with the trend

Both slabs on top of the slab, I'm like

The bitch drivin' the side of the Benz

And tellin' my brother connivin', always robbin' all his friends

Nigga, pull up in front, get a dollar, put some choppers in them fins

I'ma purchase it just for lil' mama

Just for to pop one to her friends

Easier to pick 'em, stack my bread, and pull up in a Lamb'

Hold on

Maybach shake these pussy-ass niggas

Head like they don't know who I am

Bitch, I'm NBA big 4K Trey, give them youngins knock a damn down

Huh, yeah, stand down

I'm talkin' when they ran down, they caught him with his pants down

Told him, "I'ma hold it, I'ma show you, fuck all you niggas

I don't know you." Play with the five if you want to

You gon' make a nigga smoke you

Bitch

Gotta watch them close as ones, we know they'll tell, I keep a frown

When the smoke clear off, only ones who love you gon' be 'round

Gotta watch these hoes, I know they ain't give a fuck when I was down

Who the fuck these niggas?

If I tote this pistol, I'ma just sit back, don't make no sound

And I'm peepin'

Get up and lock the door, the soul leavin'

Tell 'em, "Fuck 'em," I'ma need it just leave it

And I been goin' through some things that you don't see-ee-ee

You must ain't fuckin' with a nigga

Solvin' my problems like a rollercoaster

I'll be happy when this all is over

I'll be better when you call me over

She ain't no different, I ain't trippin', just revoke her

Made it out the streets and still be movin' like a soldier

Want me in your life then treat me right, that's what I told her

I'll be happy when this all is over

So I be pullin' on her hair, so I stroke her

Tell 'em flip this bitch and shoot the stick until it's over

These niggas fucked up 'bout some rappin' and my soul burned

Ho, when they ask, just make it happen, so wait your turn

And I just hop out with that static, let the Rolls run

And she know I lied

But she distant, then come to me for solace

I don't wanna ride with her

Them bitches conduct their heat to maggots

Snatch me up and I tell them lil'

Other niggas that I'm ready to do it

Hundred rounds up inside of a nine

Put a shell catcher up inside of a Buick

Gotta watch them close as ones, we know they'll tell, I keep a frown

When the smoke clear off, only ones who love you gon' be 'round

Gotta watch these hoes, I know they ain't give a fuck when I was down

Who the fuck these niggas?

If I tote this pistol, I'ma just sit back, don't make no sound

And I'm peepin'

Get up and lock the door, the soul leavin'

Tell 'em, "Fuck 'em," I'ma need it just leave it

And I been goin' through some things that you don't see-ee-ee

You must ain't fuckin' with a nigga

Solvin' my problems like a rollercoaster

I'll be happy when this all is over

I'll be better when you call me over

She ain't no different, I ain't trippin', just revoke her

Made it out the streets and still be movin' like a soldier

Want me in your life then treat me right, that's what I told her

I'll be happy when this all is over

So I be pullin' on her hair, so I stroke her

Key Grammar Structures

• Gotta watch them close as ones, we know they'll tell, I keep a frown

  ➔ Informal contraction 'Gotta' for 'Got to' / 'Have to' (expressing obligation or necessity).

  ➔ ''Gotta'' is an informal contraction of 'got to' or 'have to,' used to express a strong obligation or necessity. It's very common in casual speech and song lyrics.

• When the smoke clear off, only ones who love you gon' be 'round

  ➔ Informal contraction 'gon' be' for 'going to be' (informal future tense).

  ➔ ''gon' be'' is an informal and phonetic contraction of 'going to be'. It is widely used in casual spoken English and song lyrics to express future actions or states, similar to 'will be' but often implying a less formal or more immediate future.

• Gotta watch these hoes, I know they ain't give a fuck when I was down

  ➔ Informal and non-standard negative 'ain't' (can replace 'am not,' 'is not,' 'are not,' 'has not,' 'have not,' and informally 'did not').

  ➔ ''Ain't'' is a highly informal and non-standard contraction used to form negative statements. While grammatically incorrect in formal English, it's very common in informal speech and certain dialects, often replacing 'am not,' 'is not,' 'are not,' 'has not,' 'have not,' or, as in this line, 'did not.'

• If I tote this pistol, I'ma just sit back, don't make no sound

  ➔ First Conditional structure with an informal future 'I'ma' ('I am going to').

  ➔ This line uses a First Conditional structure ('If' + present simple, future simple) to talk about a likely future outcome. ''I'ma'' is an informal contraction of 'I am going to,' commonly used in rap and casual speech to express immediate or planned future actions.

• And I been goin' through some things that you don't see-ee-ee

  ➔ Informal 'been' for 'have been' (Present Perfect Continuous).

  ➔ ''I been goin''' is an informal and colloquial way of saying 'I have been going.' This structure, where 'have' is omitted, is characteristic of some informal dialects (like AAVE) and represents the Present Perfect Continuous tense, indicating an action that started in the past and continues up to the present.

• You must ain't fuckin' with a nigga

  ➔ Informal modal deduction with 'must' + non-standard 'ain't'.

  ➔ The phrase ''must ain't'' is an informal and non-standard way to express a strong negative deduction or certainty, replacing 'must not be.' 'Must' indicates a logical conclusion, and 'ain't' serves as the informal negative form of 'is not' or 'are not' in this context.

• Solvin' my problems like a rollercoaster

  ➔ Clipped present participle/gerund form ('-ing' verb without auxiliary 'to be').

  ➔ ''Solvin''' is a clipped or shortened form of 'solving.' In this context, it functions as a present participle (describing an ongoing action) or a gerund (a verb acting as a noun), often implying 'I am solving' or 'I was solving' or a general state. This omission of the auxiliary verb 'to be' is common in informal speech and song lyrics for rhythm and conciseness.

• I'll be happy when this all is over

  ➔ Future Simple tense in the main clause ('I'll be') with a present simple tense in the time clause ('when this all is over') to express a future condition/event.

  ➔ This sentence demonstrates the common grammatical rule for future time clauses: when referring to a future event that depends on another future event, the main clause uses a future tense (''I'll be''), while the time clause (introduced by 'when') uses the present simple tense (''is over'').

• Made it out the streets and still be movin' like a soldier

  ➔ Informal 'be' for habitual or continuous action (often found in dialects like AAVE).

  ➔ ''still be movin''' is an informal and non-standard construction, often found in dialects like African American Vernacular English (AAVE). It expresses a continuous or habitual action, similar to 'still moving' or 'still are moving' in standard English, emphasizing persistence in an action that started in the past and continues.
