[English]

They wanna see the real me, let me take off the mask (mask)

First thing's first, I got shit I need to say (need to say)

This a work trip, this is not a vacay (vacay)

Chit-chats with the bank, everything in real estate (work)

Well, I got a Benz, had that before I was paid (I was paid)

Money on my mind, the ideas never change (that's fact)

Old friends came back, that's some shit, I let it fade (fade)

30 on my wrist, I'm just talking 'bout my age

IPhone tells the time, well, I need another face (ayy)

My time ASAP, yeah, that's word to "Plain Jane" (word)

Antisocial, introvert, in the house, closed drapes (drapes)

I like it like that, studio, now he raps (raps)

Seen the BM with a hat (hat), ain't that my nightcap?

My life is like a symphony, I'm focused on the bands (focused on the bands)

Only high five I want is pay, cash in hand (cash in hand)

Started in the ocean, but I'm still holding the flag (wave)

Sailor on the moon waving back, I had to land

Six figures in my inbox, I'm waiting for the light

Sky lounge with mimosa, I'm waiting for my flight

Keep the gun in the holster, I'm tryna be polite

Make a bitch nigga late, we ain't on the same time

Now who am I? Now who are you?

I got the sticks, he tryna blow it, that's a flute

I'm making money when I sleep, like where's the tooth?

Church, I'm the bishop, this the steal, I got the juice

No chuckin' deuce, no calling truce

I keep it casual, I keep it very loose

I keep a shooter by my side, I hope you hoop

All the shit you saying that you done, I hope you do

My life is like a symphony, I'm focused on the bands (focused on the bands)

Only high five I want is pay, cash in hand (cash in hand)

Started in the ocean, but I'm still holding the flag (wave)

Sailor on the moon waving back, I had to land

Had to give back the supply and demand (demand)

Working on your craft, there's no cash in advance (no cash)

I was working on the wave while you were playing in the sand (right)

I was writing in the cave while you were throwing away grams (that's fact)

Please don't check me (check), you never respect me (respect)

Better check yourself before checks get messy (ayy)

Trying to impress me, now you feeling empty (ayy)

Know you got no drive, so how you want a Bentley? (How)

How are you investing? (Whoa), party with confetti (whoa)

With the big dogs in the hills, chilling with Beverly (Beverly)

You ain't gonna mix it with me, we ain't doing medleys

I was busting raps since I heard "Mom's Spaghetti" ('Ghetti)

Yeah, look how far he came, I can't forget who gave a hand, yeah

I look how far we going, and I think we need a plane, uh

They was moving oppy, and they did it for a chain

Fresh fronto from the ocky store, I light it for my brain, uh

I heard he made some racks and never gave back to the gang

I heard he cappin' story, he ain't never faced no pain

Remember that one-bedroom crib, we shared a space and never complained

When I was 14, I got high for the first time and I made space, uh

Worked that nine-to-five and looked at my check, like, "This what I made?," uh

Give what I got to my mom and I took flight and I made a wave, uh

I'm in France, I'm in England, she a fan, yeah, uh

Bring it in, secure the bands before we land

My life is like a symphony, I'm focused on the bands

Only high five I want is pay, cash in hand

Started in the ocean, but I'm still holding the flag

Sailor on the moon waiving back, I had to land

My life is like a symphony, I'm focused on the bands (focused on the bands)

Only high five I want is pay, cash in hand (cash in hand)

Started in the ocean, but I'm still holding the flag (wave)

Sailor on the moon waiving back, I had to land

Key Grammar Structures

• They wanna see the real me, let me take off the mask

  ➔ Imperative mood with 'let me'

  ➔ The phrase "let me" is used to give permission or make a suggestion. In this line, "let me take off the mask" shows the speaker's decision to reveal his true self.

• Money on my mind, the ideas never change

  ➔ Noun phrase as subject without a verb

  ➔ "Money on my mind" is a noun phrase functioning as a complete thought without a verb. This informal structure is common in spoken English and poetry, where the verb "is" (Money is on my mind) is omitted.

• I'm making money when I sleep, like where's the tooth?

  ➔ Present continuous + rhetorical question

  ➔ The line uses present continuous "I'm making" to describe an ongoing action. The rhetorical question "where's the tooth?" is a metaphorical comparison (like the tooth fairy who leaves money under pillows), not requiring an actual answer.

• I was working on the wave while you were playing in the sand

  ➔ Past continuous for simultaneous actions

  ➔ The line uses past continuous "was working" and "were playing" with the conjunction "while" to show two actions happening at the same time in the past. This structure emphasizes the contrast between the speaker's productive work and others' leisure activities.

• Better check yourself before checks get messy

  ➔ Imperative with time clause

  ➔ The line begins with an implied imperative "You'd better check yourself" followed by a time clause "before checks get messy." This structure gives a warning or advice about what should happen before a certain condition occurs.

• I was busting raps since I heard 'Mom's Spaghetti'

  ➔ Past perfect continuous implied

  ➔ The line uses "was busting" with "since" to imply an action that started in the past and continued. Although not using the perfect form, this structure suggests the past perfect continuous meaning - that the speaker has been writing raps continuously since hearing 'Mom's Spaghetti'.

• I look how far we going, and I think we need a plane

  ➔ Present simple for future + noun clause

  ➔ The line uses present simple "look" and "going" to refer to future events. "How far we going" functions as a noun clause (object of "look"). This structure shows how present tense can be used to discuss future plans in informal English.

• Bring it in, secure the bands before we land

  ➔ Series of imperatives with time clause

  ➔ The line contains two imperative verbs "Bring" and "secure" followed by a time clause "before we land." This structure gives sequential commands with a time frame, showing how multiple directives can be efficiently combined in informal speech.
