Feelin' like the woman of the year right now
You know I know everybody here right now
Two-tone Rolex on my wrist right now
Startin' like I-like I need a lick right now
Feelin' like the woman of the year right now
You know I know everybody here right now
Two-tone Rolex on my wrist right now
We da only ones they wanna feel right now
I got blood runnin' through my veins
You try to take me, you gon' take the pain
Ain't nothin' new, just another day
'Cause you could never have me anyway, oh, oh
I been tryna tell you I'm expensive
Makin' all the money, I could spend it, you know I'm expensive
Power in the pussy, you could feel it
You could hold me, baby, come on, come on, gotta get it (oh-oh)
I don't need no nigga (yeah), yeah, he need me (ah)
Speedin' on the 101 to see me(ah)
You see that I'm shinin', yeah, I'm gleamin'(ah)
I got all the diamonds on my VV
You looked at my eyes and said I'd never do it
But, boy, I prove you wrong, baby, now I do it
And now I'm goin' up on a Tuesday, two step
Never look away, you could watch me do it, oh-oh
Feelin' like the woman of the year right now
You know I know everybody here right now
Two-tone Rolex on my wrist right now
Startin' like I-like I need a lick right now
Feelin' like the woman of the year right now (oh)
You know I know everybody here right now (oh)
Two-tone Rolex on my wrist right now
We da only ones they wanna feel right now

Got it out the mud, yeah
Did it on my own, it wasn't fun, yeah (ooh)
Now we in L.A., we gettin' money, take a shot for that
All about my business, stay focused, stay on top of that (oh yeah)
Old nigga callin', but he know it ain't comin' back (but you know you ain't comin' back, no)
Been through hell and back, now I'm back, yeah
Say they love me, they ain't have my back, yeah (they didn't have my back)
They like to talk 'bout money, chit-chat (money talkin')
Got it on me, no, I never lack
Fuck around and go and put this pussy on his face right now (ooh)
Take him to the crib, and go ahead and put it down (go ahead and put it down)
And you know you fuckin' with a boss right now
He know I'm a queen (yeah), I'ma fuck him with a crown (crown)

Key Grammar Structures
-
Feelin' like the woman of the year right now
➔ Present continuous for expressing a temporary state/feeling.
➔ The use of 'Feelin'' (short for 'feeling') with the present continuous ('like the woman...') emphasizes a current, strong sensation. The phrase 'right now' reinforces the immediacy.
-
You try to take me, you gon' take the pain
➔ Future with 'gon' (going to) - colloquial future tense.
➔ The use of 'gon' is a non-standard, informal way to express the future. It's common in hip-hop and AAVE. The sentence is a conditional statement – if you try to take me, the consequence will be pain.
-
I been tryna tell you I'm expensive
➔ Habitual 'be' + verb-ing - AAVE feature indicating a repeated action over time.
➔ The construction 'I been' is a hallmark of African American Vernacular English (AAVE). It signifies that the action of 'trying to tell you' has been ongoing for a period of time. It's not simply 'I have tried'.
-
You see that I'm shinin', yeah, I'm gleamin'
➔ Present continuous for describing a current state/appearance.
➔ The verbs 'shinin'' and 'gleamin'' are used in the present continuous to emphasize the visible, current brilliance and radiance of the speaker. It's not just that she *is* shiny, but she *is currently* shining.
