Lyrics:

[English]

You say that I've been actin' different, yeah

Funny how I finally flipped the script on you

When you the one who's double-dippin', yeah

You so sloppy, how I caught you slippin' up

You're off the lease, run me my keys

No more poppin' up to hit it, yeah

I ain't even got the miles to trip on you

New phone (who is this?)

Brand new, like the whip

Rack it up, no assist

Main bitch I ain't average

Wake up, need a zip

Hennessy take a sip

I got my jeans, I'm too thick

I ain't got the room for extra baggage

Don't forget to come and pick up your, ooh, feelings

Don't leave no pieces (oh, oh)

You need to hurry and pick up your, ooh-ooh, feelings

While I'm up cleaning

Boy please, I don't need it (I don't need it)

Memories, all that shit, you can keep it (oh, oh)

Don't forget to come and pick up your, ooh-ooh, feelings

Don't leave no pieces (oh)

Oh, I'm tryna find a fuck to give for you

You ran out of chances of forgivin', yeah

Yeah, listen, I ain't listenin'

Just for you to go and break my heart again

I learned my lesson (last time)

Woah, and I ain't comin' (back now)

This is what you had now (had now)

And I bet you I look better, don't I?

New phone (who is this?)

Contact? Don't exist

Need a ride? Call that bitch

Gas way too expensive

No more, benefits

Pop-up visits

Hands tied, no grip

I ain't got the room for extra baggage

So don't forget to come and pick up your, ooh, feelings

And don't leave no pieces (hey, ayy)

You need to hurry and pick up your, (pick up your), feelings

While I'm up cleaning (oh, oh)

Boy please, I don't need you

Oh, oh, memories, all that shit, you can keep it (oh, oh)

Don't forget to come and pick up your, oh, feelings

Don't leave no pieces (oh)

Put a lock on the door where my heart once was, hmm

Boy you had your fun

But I had enough

Now I'm really done

I deserve so much more than you gave to me

So now I'm savin' me

And I made my peace

So you can run them streets

But don't forget to come and pick up your, ooh, feelings

And don't leave no pieces (Don't leave no)

You need to hurry and pick up your, ooh, feelings

While I'm up cleaning

Boy please (boy please, oh)

I don't need you (I don't need you)

All that shit (all that shit)

You can keep it (you can keep it), I don't need it (I don't need it)

Don't forget (don't forget) to come and

Pick up your, oh feelings (oh, pick up your feelings)

Don't leave no pieces

Oh, oh, oh woah

...

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

...

Grammar:

  • Funny how I finally flipped the script on you

    ➔ Adverb + how + clause (describing manner/degree)

    ➔ The phrase "funny how" introduces an observation about the unexpected way things have changed. "Flipped the script" is an idiom meaning to reverse roles or change the expected outcome.

  • When you the one who's double-dippin', yeah

    ➔ Cleft sentence with "the one who"

    ➔ This sentence structure emphasizes that "you" are the person engaging in the activity of "double-dippin'", which is an informal way to describe cheating or being unfaithful. The typical way to say this would be 'You're the one who's double-dipping'. The contraction has removed the 'are'.

  • You're off the lease, run me my keys

    ➔ Imperative mood ("run me my keys")

    "Run me my keys" is an informal imperative, demanding the return of the keys. The use of "run" here functions like "give".

  • Main bitch I ain't average

    ➔ Double negative (Ain't + average)

    "I ain't average" employs a double negative, although in this context (AAVE, African American Vernacular English) it doesn't necessarily cancel out. It reinforces the idea that the speaker is *not* average, she is above average. "Ain't" is a colloquial substitute for "am not", "is not", or "are not".

  • I ain't got the room for extra baggage

    ➔ Use of "got" for possession

    "I ain't got the room" is a colloquial way of saying "I don't have room". "Got" is used to express possession, especially in informal contexts. "Ain't got" is used in AAVE where the word “ain’t” functions as a form of auxiliary verb.

  • Oh, I'm tryna find a fuck to give for you

    ➔ Slang/Idiomatic expression: "Give a fuck"

    "Trying to find a fuck to give" is a very informal and vulgar idiom that essentially means "trying to care". The negative connotation highlights the speaker's complete lack of concern or empathy.

  • Just for you to go and break my heart again

    ➔ Infinitive of purpose (to go and break)

    ➔ The infinitive phrase "to go and break my heart again" explains the purpose of the speaker's action of "listening". It highlights the futility of listening because it would only lead to heartbreak. The "go and" construction is an informal way to emphasize the subsequent action.

  • Put a lock on the door where my heart once was, hmm

    ➔ Relative clause with "where"

    ➔ The relative clause "where my heart once was" modifies the noun "door", indicating that the door leads to the *place* where the speaker's heart used to reside. It's not a literal door but a metaphorical one, a closing off from the past.
