[English]

I know I'm rich now, I don't blame this shit on me, cuz I still

This your guy, this fame, it's plain, this bitch on three

I'm still the same little nigga, front and side, a shit ain't sweet

Only difference I need pink, red, purple, I won't sleep

Roomy drink

I thought off in the head, my mind don't need things

But I still feel a bitch on me, you know what I'm saying

I'm a real dawg

Powerhouse, fuck a leech, paying off, fuck a leech

My money talk, fuck a fee

My money far from clean

Hurricane, I hurricane

My boy only got a heart shape

No way, so I gotta fight for the day

She ain't think for today

She sellin' it, no f*cking way, she sellin' it, no f*cking way

Brand new Benz, brand new Cayenne, I can spend it on the third

We broke, but you got nothing, I got money in reserve

I been stackin', stackin', stackin'

Sh*t ain't sweet, on her, I stack up paid

Last nigga, he got played

Ask why, but I got paid

Anyway, this bitch go way too fast, the police won't even chase

P*nis corner, watch me kiss the curb

You think today

When I smash the gas

This bitch love to twerk, that's why I love my bitch

Said blow a bag, this bitch love to work, that's why I love my glee

I know I'm rich now, I don't blame this shit on me, cuz I still

This your guy, this fame, it's plain, this bitch on three

I'm still the same little nigga, front and side, a shit ain't sweet

Only difference I need pink, red, purple, I won't sleep

Roomy drink

I thought off in the head, my mind don't need things

But I still feel a bitch on me, you know what I'm saying

I'm a real dawg

Powerhouse, fuck a leech, paying off, fuck a leech

My money talk, fuck a fee

My money far from clean

Key Grammar Structures

• I know I'm rich now

  ➔ Present simple with a that‑clause (the verb *know* introduces a subordinate clause).

  ➔ The verb ""know"" is in the present simple, and it introduces the clause ""I'm"" rich, also in the present simple.

• I don't blame this shit on me

  ➔ Negative present simple with a transitive verb and object pronoun.

  ➔ The contraction ""don't"" (do + not) makes the present simple negative, and ""me"" is an object pronoun receiving the action of "blame".

• cuz I still

  ➔ Colloquial conjunction "cuz" = "because" linking clauses.

  ➔ ""cuz"" is an informal short form of "because" and introduces a reason for the preceding statement.

• I'm still the same little nigga, front and side, a shit ain't sweet

  ➔ Use of "ain't" as a negative contraction; adverb "still" for continuity.

  ➔ ""ain't"" replaces "is not" (or "are not"), and ""still"" indicates that the situation continues.

• I won't sleep

  ➔ Future simple negative with contraction "won't" (will not).

  ➔ ""won't"" is the contracted form of "will not", showing a negative future action.

• My money far from clean

  ➔ Elliptical sentence (missing copular verb "is").

  ➔ The verb ""is"" is implied before "far", so the full sentence would be "My money **is** far from clean".

• She sellin' it, no f*cking way

  ➔ Present progressive with colloquial dropping of "g" ("sellin'" = "selling").

  ➔ ""sellin'"" is the informal progressive form of "selling"; the apostrophe marks the dropped "g".

• We broke, but you got nothing, I got money in reserve

  ➔ Contrastive conjunction "but" joining two independent clauses.

  ➔ "but" introduces a contrast between the first clause "We broke" and the following clauses.

• Last nigga, he got played

  ➔ Causative/permissive construction "got + past participle" indicating passive meaning.

  ➔ "got" followed by "played" functions like "was played"; it shows that he was the object of someone’s action.

• Powerhouse, fuck a leech, paying off, fuck a leech

  ➔ Gerund phrase "paying off" functioning as a verb complement after a noun.

  ➔ "paying" is a gerund; the phrase "paying off" adds information about the action related to "fuck a leech".
