[English]

It's not good enough for me

Since I've been with you, ooh

...

It's not gonna work for you

Nobody can equal me (I know)

I'm gonna sip on this drink, when I'm fucked up

I should know how to pick up

I'm gonna catch the rhythm

While she push up against me, ooh, and she tipsy

I had enough convo for 24

I peep'd you from across the room

Pretty little body dancin' like GoGo, hey

And you are unforgettable

I need to get you alone (ooh)

Why not? A fuckin' good time never hurt nobody

I got a little drink, but it's not Bacardi

If you loved the girl, then I'm so, so sorry

I gotta give it to her like we in a marriage

Oh, like we in a hurry

No, no, I won't tell nobody

You're on your level too

Tryna do what lovers do

Feelin' like I'm fresh out, Boosie (Boosie)

If they want the drama, got the Uzi (Uzi)

Ship the whole crew to the cruise ship (cruise)

Doin' shit you don't even see in movies (movies)

Ride with me, ride with me, boss (boss)

I got a hard head, but her ass soft (soft)

She want the last name with the ring on it

'Cause I pulled out a million cash, told her plank on it

And you are unforgettable

I need to get you alone

Now you wanna choose

Just pop the bubbly in the 'cuzi

It's not good enough for me

Since I've been with you, ooh

I'm gonna sip on this drink, when I'm fucked up

I should know how to pick up

I'm gonna catch the rhythm

While she push up against me, ooh, and she tipsy

I had enough convo for 24

I peep'd you from across the room

Pretty little body dancin' like GoGo, hey

And you are unforgettable

I need to get you alone, ooh

Why not? A fuckin' good time never hurt nobody

I got a little drink, but it's not Bacardi

If you loved the girl, then I'm so, so sorry

I gotta give it to her like we in a marriage

Oh, like we in a hurry

No, no, I won't tell nobody

You're on your level too

Tryna do what lovers do

You ain't enough for me

Too much for you alone

Baby, go and grab some bad bitches, bring 'em home

Know the jet's on me

I'ma curve my best for you, you know

So pick up that dress for me

Leave the rest on

Too much convo for 24 hours

When you stand next to 24 karats

She left her man at home

She don't love him no more

I want your mind and your body

Don't mind nobody

So, you don't ever hurt nobody

Baby girl, work your body, work your body

And you are unforgettable

I need to get you alone

Now you wanna choose

Just pop the bubbly in the 'cuzi

Why not?

Oh, like we in a hurry

No, no, I won't tell nobody

You're on your level too

Tryna do what lovers do

...

  ➔ Modal verb (should) + infinitive + infinitive (how to)

  ➔ This expresses a strong recommendation or expectation. 'Know how to' indicates possessing the skill or knowledge to do something.

• She want the last name with the ring on it

  ➔ Present Simple (want) with third-person singular '-s' omission

  ➔ In informal spoken English, the '-s' ending on verbs in the third-person singular present simple is often omitted. 'Want' is a verb here.

• If you loved the girl, then I'm so, so sorry

  ➔ Second Conditional (If + past simple, would + infinitive) - implied 'would'

  ➔ This structure expresses a hypothetical situation and its consequence. The 'would' is implied in the second clause, meaning 'if you loved her, I would be sorry'.

• I gotta give it to her like we in a marriage

  ➔ Idiomatic expression 'gotta' (got to) + infinitive

  ➔ 'Gotta' is a colloquial contraction of 'got to', meaning 'have to' or 'must'. The line implies giving her attention or effort as if in a committed relationship.

• You're on your level too

  ➔ Present Simple (are) + possessive pronoun (your) + noun (level)

  ➔ This indicates that the person being addressed is also at a certain status or stage of understanding/experience. It's about equality in some aspect.

• Feelin' like I'm fresh out, Boosie (Boosie)

  ➔ Present Participle ('-ing' form used informally) + comparative adjective ('fresh out')

  ➔ The '-in'' is a common informal pronunciation of '-ing'. 'Fresh out' means recently released or having just emerged, often from a period of confinement or challenge.

• If they want the drama, got the Uzi (Uzi)

  ➔ Conditional clause (If + present simple) + simple past (got)

  ➔ This is a form of conditional sentence, implying that if certain people desire conflict ('drama'), the speaker possesses the means ('Uzi') to handle it. 'Got' is the past tense of 'get'.

• Doin' shit you don't even see in movies (movies)

  ➔ Present Participle ('Doin'') + relative clause (you don't even see)

  ➔ 'Doin'' is an informal pronunciation of 'doing'. The relative clause modifies 'shit', specifying what kind of actions are being performed – ones not typically seen in films.

• I got a hard head, but her ass soft

  ➔ Possessive pronoun ('my' implied for 'hard head') + adjective + conjunction (but) + possessive pronoun ('her') + adjective

  ➔ This uses contrasting adjectives ('hard' and 'soft') connected by 'but' to highlight differences. 'Got a hard head' implies stubbornness or resilience.
