[English]

Worst

Mothafucka never loved us

Fucka never loved us

You ain't know, now you know now

Still at it, scrub J's with a toothbrush

Shit!

Niggas still playing my old shit

But your shit is like the police askin' us questions

Nigga, we don't know shit

Flexin'

Nigga, I'm just flexin'

Nigga never loved us

Do it look like we stressin'?

Look at you, look at you and look at you

Aww, I'm glad that they chose us

'Cause man it's a mission, tryna fight to the finish

Just to see if I'm finished

On my worst behavior, no?

They used to never want to hear us

Remember? Mothafucka never loved us

Remember? Mothafucka!

Remember? Mothafucka never loved us

I'm on my worst behavior

Don't you ever get it fucked up

Mothafuckas never loved us

Man, mothafuckas never loved us

Worst behavior, mothafuckas never loved us

Fucka never loved us, worst behavior

Hold up, hold my phone

Mothafuckas never loved us

Fucka never loved us

Now you want to roll one

Mothafucka never loved us

So everywhere we go now, full cup

Always hated the boy, but now the boy is the man

Mothafucka, I done grown up

You know me? You know me?

I'm liable to do anything

When it comes to that you owe me

You owe me, you owe me

Bitch you better have my money

When I come for that shit like O.D.B

On my worst behavior, no?

They used to never want to hear us

Remember? Mothafucka never loved us

Remember? Mothafucka!

Remember? Mothafucka never loved us

I'm on my worst behavior

Don't you ever get it fucked up

Mothafuckas never loved us

Man, mothafuckas never loved us

Worst behavior

Mothafuckas never loved us

Fucka never loved us, worst behavior

Who's hot, who not?

Tell me who rock, who sell out in stores?

You tell me who flop, who copped the new drop, whose jewels got rocks

Who else making rap albums, doing numbers like it's pop?

Same old pimp, Drake, you know ain't nothin' changed

With these funny style niggas, we done put on in the game

I just ask for some blessins at my grandmother's grave

And it's back to L.A., open the mail, starin' at the check

Enough to make you throw up, man it's gross what I net

I'm with my whole set, tennis matches at the crib

I swear I could beat Serena when she playin' with her left

Oh, where I reside it look like a resort inside

Nigga, where your shit from? I imported mine

Bar mitzvah money like my last name Mordecai

Fuck you bitch, I'm more than high

My momma probably hear that and be mortified

This ain't the son you raised who used to take the Acura

5 a.m. then go and shoot Degrassi up on Morningside

For all the stuntin', I'll forever be immortalized

Yeah, back and forth across the border line

Hate to leave the city, but I've got to do the overtime

Gone all the time, even the important times

I should let you know ahead I'm comin' back on my worst behavior

...

Remember? Remember?

Mothafucka! Remember?

Hold up, hold my phone

They used to never want to hear us

Remember? Mothafucka never loved us

Remember? Mothafucka!

Remember? Worst behavior

Key Grammar Structures

• You ain't know, now you know now

  ➔ Negative contraction (ain't) and Adverbial clause of time

  ➔ The use of "ain't" here replaces "don't/didn't" as a colloquial negative, followed by "now" to mark a shift in state.

• They used to never want to hear us

  ➔ Used to (past habit/state)

  ➔ The phrase "used to" expresses a situation that was true in the past but is no longer the case.

• Don't you ever get it fucked up

  ➔ Imperative mood with adverbial emphasis (ever)

  ➔ The imperative "Don't" is used for warning, while "ever" acts as an intensive to strongly forbid a specific misunderstanding.

• Always hated the boy, but now the boy is the man

  ➔ Contrastive conjunction (but) with temporal markers (always/now)

  ➔ The conjunction "but" creates a sharp contrast between a previous state (always hated) and the current transformation (now the man).

• Bitch you better have my money

  ➔ Modal verb of obligation (had better)

  ➔ "Better" (from 'had better') implies a strong recommendation or a threat if the condition is not met.

• I'm liable to do anything

  ➔ Adjective phrase (liable to + infinitive)

  ➔ The phrase "liable to" indicates a high likelihood or tendency to perform an action, often suggesting volatility.

• Enough to make you throw up, man it's gross what I net

  ➔ Exclamatory sentence with an infinitive phrase of result

  ➔ The infinitive "to make you throw up" describes the intensity of the result caused by the amount of money earned.

• For all the stuntin', I'll forever be immortalized

  ➔ Future passive voice

  ➔ The construction "will be immortalized" indicates a future state where the subject receives the action of being remembered forever.
