Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Young Chop on the Beat

Bought that Jerry, rent it, you ain't buy it

Drugs dissolving on my tongue, turn to a habit

I know some killers, teardrops so they active

They living large and low income, that shit so tragic

I know some niggas who did some coke, said they won't try it

Good heart, I saw my family dope, ain't make 'em biased

And I can't bleed no bitch, she said she high-end

She suck my dick, I used the back door at the Hyatt

My daddy say his birthday, I'll buy him a new tie and shit

We make it hard for you to eat, put you on a diet

Right before my eyes, I seen the hood dying

Fallen victim to the streets, I wish I would try it

Yeah, yeah

Bring back the Act' again

Make Kanye black again

Just got back from shop, I'm 'bout to lose the racks again

I hope that little boy lack again

We gon' show you all the differences

We killing everyone, ain't no innocents

Turn you into a rememberance

Headshot from this Glock, you won't remember shit

Oh, won't remember shit

We gon' turn you to a rememberance

Oh, you won't remember shit

Ain't nobody innocent

I tried to bust down my watch, it ain't no baguettes in it

And he ain't from my block, so we need half of his

And I peeped that fake smile through them white veneers

Before he died, he was so in love, now I see his bitch with me

Sometimes I feel like Tay-K, I wanna kill people

I did too much, and you ain't did, how you feel, you still equal?

How you lose that weight? You let them pills eat you

Fuck around and give your kidney up, they'll still leech you

I did shit for a hundred niggas and I'm still reaching

Took my shahada down in the feds, to the streets, I'm still preaching

I don't get a chance to see all my kids, I know they still decent

I stabbed my best friend right in his back, but it was for a real reason

I need a real bag, real, real, real bag

Trying to lay my head where they don't kill at

I'm from where you got some money and you still beg

Where they let you go for a body and you still rat

Where they carry guns and ain't got a gun card

Told the Jakes to eat a dick, I beat my gun charge

Broski locked, he got the city and he ain't got one charge

They caught him with an iron pipe, it was down, he was unarmed

Bring back the Act' again

Make Kanye black again

Just got back from shop, I'm 'bout to lose the racks again

I hope that little boy lack again

We gon' show you all the differences

We killing everyone, ain't no innocents

Turn you into a rememberance

Headshot from this Glock, you won't remember shit

Oh, won't remember shit

We gon' turn you to a rememberance

Key Grammar Structures

• I know some killers, teardrops so they active

  ➔ Present simple + adjective clause with 'so' (result clause)

  ➔ The verb "know" is in the present simple to talk about a fact. "so they active" is a result clause meaning "so that they are active".

• We make it hard for you to eat, put you on a diet

  ➔ Causative verb + infinitive clause; coordinate verb phrase

  ➔ "make" is a causative verb followed by the infinitive "to eat". The second clause "put you on a diet" is coordinated with a comma.

• I hope that little *boy* lack again

  ➔ Verb + that‑clause (subjunctive mood) – missing verb "lacks"

  ➔ The structure "I hope that ..." introduces a that‑clause. The intended verb "lack" should be in the third‑person singular form "lacks" to be grammatical.

• We gon' turn you to a *rememberance*

  ➔ Colloquial contraction "gon'" = "going to"; future intention

  ➔ "gon'" is a slang contraction of "going to". It expresses a future action: "We are going to turn you..."

• I did too much, and you *ain't* did

  ➔ Negative contraction "ain't" + past simple (non‑standard) – double negative structure

  ➔ "ain't" is a non‑standard negative form meaning "have not" or "did not". The sentence mixes standard past simple "did" with non‑standard "ain't did" for emphasis.

• I stabbed my best friend right in his *back*, but it was for a real reason

  ➔ Past simple + contrastive conjunction "but"; idiomatic expression "stab ... in the back"

  ➔ "stab" is used literally (physical) and idiomatically (betrayal). The clause after "but" gives a contrasting justification.

• Took my *shahada* down in the feds, to the streets, I'm still preaching

  ➔ Past simple without subject (elliptical); gerund phrase "to the streets" as a purpose clause; present progressive "I'm still preaching"

  ➔ The sentence drops the subject of "Took" (understood as "I"), then adds a purpose phrase "to the streets". The final clause uses the present progressive to show ongoing action.

• They caught him with an *iron pipe*, it was down, he was unarmed

  ➔ Passive voice "They caught him" (active), followed by a short declarative clause "it was down"; past simple "was" for description

  ➔ "They caught him" is a simple past active clause. "It was down" is a brief descriptive statement meaning "the situation was bad". Both use the past simple "was".

• Bring back the *Act'* again

  ➔ Imperative mood; noun phrase "the Act'" with article; adverb "again" for repetition

  ➔ "Bring back" is a command telling someone to return something. "the Act'" is a specific noun, and "again" adds the idea of doing it once more.
