Work, I'm feeling fab

I'm feeling free, I feel exceptionally

Hate all you want but I'm dangerous

You gon' burn your tongue on this tea

Might show up late but might be in time

Just wait, I'm coming, kii-kii

This paparazzi routine, bitch, I came to be seen

...

Yes, serve a little sass

Yes, with a little side of ass

Yes, got the front row screaming, "Okay, okay"

Yes, do a little twirl

Yes, let 'em know I'm that girl

Yes, Monday through Sunday

I can turn the dancefloor into a runway

Turn it up, turn it up loud

Bitch

Monday through Sunday

I can turn the dancefloor into a runway

Turn it up, turn it up loud

Bitch

Monday through Sunday

I can turn the dancefloor into a runway

I can turn the dancefloor into a runway

Tell 'em, "Make room," my body is an entree

I could turn a mad hoe into a fan

Cameras flashing, lights go, **** it up

Click, click, click, click, everywhere I go

Get it, can't get me, facecard faux

Never gon' see me waiting at the door, no

Get out the way hoe

...

Yes, serve a little sass

Yes, with a little side of ass

Yes, got the front row screaming, "Okay, okay"

Yes, do a little twirl

Yes, let 'em know I'm that girl

Yes, Monday through Sunday

I can turn the dancefloor into a runway

Turn it up, turn it up loud

Bitch

Monday through Sunday

I can turn the dancefloor into a runway

Turn it up, turn it up loud

Bitch

Monday through Sunday

I can turn the dancefloor into a runway

Turn it up, turn it up loud

Bitch

Monday through Sunday

I can turn the dancefloor into a runway

Turn it up, turn it up loud

I can, I can, I can, I can turn the dancefloor into a runway

...

Pose

I ain't scared of no cameras

Born for the runway

Sashay, go gay

Pose

I ain't scared of no cameras

Born for the runway

Sashay, go gay

...

You were born for the runway

You were born for the runway

You were born for the runway

You were born for the runway

Born, born, way, way

Born, born

You were born for the runway

...

Monday through Sunday

I can turn the dancefloor into a runway

• Might show up late but might be in time

  ➔ Modal verb ‘might’ for possibility

  ➔ "Might" expresses uncertainty or a possible future action.

• Just wait, I'm coming, kii-kii

  ➔ Imperative + Present Continuous

  ➔ "Just wait" is an imperative giving a command; "I'm coming" uses the present continuous to show an action that is about to happen.

• Turn it up, turn it up loud

  ➔ Imperative mood (repetition for emphasis)

  ➔ "Turn" is a command; the repetition stresses the request to increase the volume.

• I ain't scared of no cameras

  ➔ Negative contraction ‘ain’t’ + Double negative

  ➔ "Ain't" is a colloquial negative form of “am not/are not”; "no cameras" creates a double negative, which in informal English reinforces the negation.

• Never gon' see me waiting at the door, no

  ➔ Future intention with ‘gon’ (going to) + Negative adverb ‘never’

  ➔ "Never" negates the whole clause; "gon'" is a colloquial contraction of "going to", indicating a firm future intention.
