[English]

Are you alright?

I'm alright, I'm quite alright

And my money's right

8... (yeah)

Countin' them bands

All way to the top 'til they be fallin' over

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Countin' them bands

On my way to the top 'til we fallin' over

I don't really care if you cry

On the real, you should've never lied

Should've saw the way she looked me in my eyes

She said, "baby, I am not afraid to die"

Push me to the edge

All my friends are dead

Push me to the edge

All my friends are dead

Push me to the edge

All my friends are dead

Push me to the edge

Phantom that's all red, inside all white

Like somethin' you ride a sled down, I just want that head

My Brittany got mad, I'm barely her man now

Everybody got the same swag now

Watch the way that I tear it down

Stackin' my bands all the way to the top

All the way 'til my bands fallin' over

Every time that you leave your spot

Your girlfriend call me like, "Come on over!"

I like the way that she treat me

Gon' leave you, won't leave me, I call it that Casanova

She say I'm insane, yeah

Wanna blow my brain out (hey)

Xanny, help the pain, yeah

Please, Xanny, make it go away

I'm committed, not addicted, but it keep control of me

All the pain, now I can't feel it

I swear that it's slowin' me, yeah

I don't really care if you cry

On the real, you should've never lied

Saw the way she looked me in my eyes

She said, "I am not afraid to die" (yeah)

All my friends are dead

Push me to the edge (yeah)

All my friends are dead, yeah, ooh

Push me to the edge

All my friends are dead, yeah

All my friends are dead, yeah

That is not your swag, I swear you fake hard

Now these niggas wanna take my cadence (yeah)

Rain on 'em, thunderstorm, rain on 'em (oh, yeah)

Make some, lil' nigga, take some (yeah, yeah)

Fast car, NASCAR, race on 'em

In the club, ain't got no ones, then we would become (yeah)

Clothes from overseas, got the racks and they all C-Notes

You is not a G though

Lookin' at you stackin' all your money, it all green though

I was countin' that and these all twenties, that's a G-roll

She say, "You're the worst, you're the worst"

I cannot die because this my universe

I don't really care if you cry

On the real, you should've never lied

Should've saw the way she looked me in my eyes

She said, "Baby, I am not afraid to die"

Push me to the edge

All my friends are dead

Push me to the edge

All my friends are dead

Push me to the edge

All my friends are dead

Push me to the edge

Key Grammar Structures

• I'm alright, I'm quite alright

  ➔ Intensifier "quite" + adjective

  ➔ "Quite" is used to intensify the adjective "alright", meaning "very" or "completely" alright. This construction is common in informal speech and writing.

• You should've never lied

  ➔ "Should have" + past participle (expressing regret/criticism)

  ➔ "Should've never lied" expresses regret or criticism about a past action. It means that the person did lie, and the speaker thinks that was a bad choice. The "never" intensifies the negative.

• I am not afraid to die

  ➔ "Be" + adjective "afraid" + "to" infinitive

  ➔ This structure expresses a state of being unafraid of something. "To die" is the infinitive form of the verb.

• All my friends are dead

  ➔ Subject-verb agreement with plural subject "friends"

  ➔ The plural subject "friends" requires the plural form of the verb "to be", which is "are".

• Phantom that's all red, inside all white

  ➔ Relative clause using "that's" as a shortened form of "that is"

  ➔ "That's all red" is a reduced relative clause that modifies "Phantom". It provides additional information about the Phantom.

• Watch the way that I tear it down

  ➔ Noun clause with "that" as a complementizer, omitted but implied.

  ➔ The "that" after "way" can be optionally omitted. The clause "that I tear it down" functions as the direct object of the verb "Watch". It means "Observe how I destroy/dismantle it."

• I'm committed, not addicted, but it keep control of me

  ➔ Incorrect subject-verb agreement: "it keeps control of me". Uses "but" to connect the sentence

  ➔ In standard English, the sentence should read "it *keeps* control of me" because "it" is a singular subject. However, the lyrics use non-standard grammar for stylistic effect. "But" is used to contrast the ideas of commitment and addiction.
