[English]

(Now, it's not magic, but it looks magical)

This ain't even no lean, it's cranberry juice

(DJ Bandz, oh, man)

Ayy

Stay ten toes, you know? Big Doodie Lo

What the fuck is wrong with me? I think my mind goin' crazy (goin' crazy)

How you wanna snake me out? You don't wanna see me make it (you don't wanna see me-)

Fuck them niggas that be hatin' (fuck 'em), I know real Z's, they Haitian

We eat golden rice, they say that I am what I eat

I keep killers with me, I can get you touched for a verse (bop, bop, bop, bop)

Put his ass on a shirt (shirt), put his ass in the dirt (dirt)

Niggas dissin' V. Roy, that's really gon' get 'em hurt (kill 'em)

We was just up in the party, throwin' bands at a show (bitch)

Why that nigga talkin' like he official? Niggas is soft as tissue

And them guns that you niggas is postin', I hope you brought 'em with you

Fuck it, kill all them niggas (fuck 'em), I ain't gon' argue with you

Caught him, had his daughter with him, get a pass, you a father, nigga

They say, "Doodie, get you some security, you an artist, nigga"

I be movin' militant, it's gon' be real hard to get me

Ain't seen him a long time, fuck, I'm on my wrong mind

Caught his ass loafin' with a bitch, that was on time

They say, "Doodie, you don't even know who you are now" (who you are now)

Gotta watch how I move 'cause I'm a star now ('cause I'm a star now)

Never put my guards down (guard down)

Sold dope, tar brown (tar brown)

I was sippin' lot of syrup (lean)

Smoke dope, no dirt

Xanax, no Perc' (no Perc')

Studio, no shirt (no shirt)

Never claim your worth (your worth)

Slime me out, it won't work (slatt)

Put a bitch on you (bitch)

Duck switch, don't move (ffr)

Fucked up, wrong dude

Boom, boom, fuck dude (bah, bah, bah)

Livin' in this life of sin (sin)

All I wanna do is win

Pullin' up with FNs, aim 'em at your damn lid (yeah)

What's up with your best friend? Heard that nigga turned pig

Bitch, you know that I'm the G.O.A.T

Stomp 'em out in some Gucci loafs

Step on shit, we Gucci, hoe (Gucci, hoe)

I'm livin' rich, not goin' broke (broke)

Pull up in that foreign, hoe (skrrt)

Slidin' 'round with Doodie Lo (yeah, yeah)

Livin' like a D boy

Peanut butter seats, boy (seats, boy)

From that block, we destroy

R.I.P. V. Roy (V. Roy)

They say, "Doodie, you don't even know who you are now" (who you are now)

Gotta watch how I move 'cause I'm a star now ('cause I'm a star now)

Never put my guards down (guard down)

Sold dope, tar brown (tar brown)

I was sippin' lot of syrup (lean)

Smoke dope, no dirt

Xanax, no Perc' (no Perc')

Studio, no shirt (no shirt)

Never claim your worth (your worth)

Slime me out, it won't work (slatt)

Put a bitch on you (bitch)

Duck switch, don't move (ffr)

Fucked up, wrong dude

Boom, boom, fuck dude (bitch)

Key Grammar Structures

• What the fuck is wrong with me?

  ➔ Wh‑question with present simple

  ➔ The structure "what ... \"is\"" forms a Wh‑question. The verb "is" is in the present simple.

• I think my mind goin' crazy

  ➔ Verb + gerund/present participle as complement

  ➔ After the verb "think", the clause "my mind \"goin'\" crazy" uses the present participle "goin'" to describe a continuous state.

• I can get you touched for a verse

  ➔ Modal verb + bare infinitive

  ➔ The modal "can" is followed directly by the bare infinitive "get", which is the standard construction for ability or permission.

• They say, "Doodie, you don't even know who you are now"

  ➔ Reported speech / indirect quotation

  ➔ The verb "say" introduces a quoted clause. The internal sentence retains its original structure, marked by quotation marks.

• Gotta watch how I move 'cause I'm a star now

  ➔ 'Gotta' = have got to (obligation) + causal "'cause" = because

  ➔ The colloquial contraction "gotta" means "have got to" (must). "'cause" is an informal shortening of "because" introducing a reason.

• Never put my guards down

  ➔ Negative imperative (zero‑person)

  ➔ "Never" + base verb forms a negative command directed at oneself or a general audience: "Never put ... down".

• I was sippin' lot of syrup (lean)

  ➔ Past continuous (progressive) with colloquial dropping of "a"

  ➔ "I was sippin'" is the past continuous form of "sip"; the article "a" before "lot" is omitted in slang: "lot of syrup".

• We was just up in the party, throwin' bands at a show

  ➔ Non‑standard subject‑verb agreement (we was) + present participle for ongoing action

  ➔ The phrase "we was" violates standard agreement (should be "we were"). "Throwin'" is the present participle indicating an ongoing activity.

• I be movin' militant

  ➔ Habitual "be" (AAVE) + present participle

  ➔ In African‑American Vernacular English, "I be" expresses a habitual action. The verb "movin'" (moving) is a present participle describing the ongoing manner.
