redrum
Lyrics:
[English]
Cai, a noite sobre o nosso amor
Cai, e agora só restou do amor
Uma palavra
Adeus
Adeus
Adeus
Mas tendo de ir embora (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Want it all, I won't leave a breadcrumb
Bitch, what? I thought a nigga said something
...
Thought a nigga said something
G Block, all we know is redrum
Redrum, redrum, redrum, redrum
G Block, all we know is redrum
Redrum, redrum, redrum, redrum
Nigga, all we know is (redrum)
...
Ridin' in the back, it's a May' (it's a May')
32 shots in the K (in the K)
Marathon, I really run the A (run the A)
Say you touched me, how, Sway? (How, Sway?)
Graveyard, that's where the opps stay (opps stay)
Hypnotize, they do what I say (what I say)
21, niggas don't play (don't play)
My Glock Gen5 said hey (said hey)
Take my chopper everywhere, that's bae (that's bae)
Get your ass out the car, you're givin' trade (giving trade)
We been spinnin' through they hood all day (all day)
Niggas say they outside, okay, okay
I can't let a bitch play me, no way (no way)
You're a duck if you believe what hoe say (what hoe say)
She got way more bodies than my old K (old K)
My lil' brother beat his body, OJ (OJ)
Niggas talkin' 'bout they lit, I'm La Flame (pussy)
That lil' boy a mascot, he ain't gang (pussy)
Watch a half a million dollars and it's plain (pussy)
I don't go through TSA to get on planes (pussy)
You get pussy without head, then, you lame (pussy)
She knew I was leavin' 'fore I even came (pussy)
Two revolvers on my waist, John Wayne (pussy)
Smack niggas, then, I get on live and sing (yeah)
Want it all, I won't leave a breadcrumb
Bitch, what? I thought a nigga said something
Thought a nigga said something
G Block, all we know is redrum
Redrum, redrum, redrum, redrum
G Block, all we know is redrum
Redrum, redrum, redrum, redrum
Nigga, all we know is (redrum)
How many niggas got the belt? (A lot)
Catch 'em at the light, he get nailed
911, somebody help
Sub-tweeting bad for your health, pussy
I'm a gangster, I ain't takin' shit back, pussy
I'll never do no song with no rat, pussy
Put a lego in a stick, it rat-a-tat, pussy
I don't wanna talk, go and catch a hat, pussy
Big Draco come up out that scat, pussy
He stood on business, now, he layin' on his back, pussy
Ask around, I be rappin' nothin' but facts, pussy
We the reason all these niggas runnin' track, pussy (on God)
You ain't never stepped, you can't tell me a thing (21)
I got big kahunas, and I'm lettin' 'em hang (21)
Keep my mouth closed and that's never gonna change (21)
You get in the jam and go to pointin' and blame (21, 21)
I ain't let it slide, I was sharpenin' aim
Smokin' on my brothers, got his ass left slain
You know it's smoke, 'cause they ain't even take off his chain
Say it's up with me, your ass must do cocaine (21, 21)
Want it all, and I won't leave a breadcrumb
Bitch, what? I thought a nigga said something
Thought a nigga said something
G Block, all we know is redrum
Redrum, redrum, redrum, redrum
G Block, all we know is redrum
Redrum, redrum, redrum, redrum
Nigga, all we know is (redrum)
Little pigs
Little pigs, let me come in
Not by the hair on your chinny-chin-chin
Then, I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down
Here's Johnny
...

Grammar:
-
Cai, a noite sobre o nosso amor
➔ Use of preposition 'sobre' indicating 'over' or 'about'
➔ Here, "sobre" implies the night is falling heavily *over* their love, casting a shadow on it.
-
I thought a nigga said something
➔ Use of informal language ('nigga') and elision ('something' instead of 'anything')
➔ This line uses slang and a more casual grammar structure common in hip-hop. "I thought a nigga said *something*" implies disbelief or challenge.
-
Want it all, I won't leave a breadcrumb
➔ Use of "won't" as a contraction for "will not", expressing future negation.
➔ The use of *won't* clearly states the intention of not leaving anything behind, figuratively, showing ambition and thoroughness.
-
Ridin' in the back, it's a May'
➔ Ellipsis: The sentence is shortened, likely omitting 'bach' from 'Maybach'. Use of 'is a' instead of 'it is a'.
➔ The abbreviated sentence is a stylistic choice in rap music, giving it a more informal and rhythmic feel. The actual sentence is 'Riding in the back, it is a Maybach'.
-
How many niggas got the belt? (A lot)
➔ Use of rhetorical question for emphasis.
➔ The question *How many niggas got the belt?* isn't seeking information but rather emphasizing that many people are successful or powerful. The (A lot) affirms this further.
-
Sub-tweeting bad for your health, pussy
➔ Statement of cause and effect: Implies that sub-tweeting is the cause and bad health is the effect.
➔ It is a warning presented as a general truth, linking an action (sub-tweeting) to a negative consequence (bad health), often in a threatening way.
