Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Charlie Shuffler on the beat

Change my name, shave my head

Tell my friends that I'm dead

Run away from the pain, yesterday is not today

Yesterday is not today, yesterday is not today

Yesterday is not today

Yesterday is not today is not the same

Today is gonna be the day that I'm gonna come back to you

I know I did a little blow and I never wrote back to you

My love, I wanna give it all to you

Baby, I just wanna ball with you

I couldn't see the end was comin' near the way I do

About you now

Change my name, shave my head

Tell my friends that I'm dead

Run away from the pain, yesterday is not today

Yesterday is not today, yesterday is not today

Yesterday is not today

Yesterday is not today is not the same

Key Grammar Structures

• Change my name, shave my head

  ➔ Imperative mood

  ➔ The sentence uses the imperative mood; the base‑form verbs "Change" and "shave" give direct commands.

• Tell my friends that I'm dead

  ➔ Imperative + that‑clause (present simple)

  ➔ The imperative verb "Tell" is followed by a that‑clause; inside it the present simple of "am" states a fact – "I'm".

• Run away from the pain, yesterday is not today

  ➔ Imperative + present simple negative

  ➔ The first clause uses the imperative verb "Run"; the second clause is a present simple negative – "is not".

• Today is gonna be the day that I'm gonna come back to you

  ➔ Informal future with "gonna" + relative clause

  ➔ The phrase "is gonna be" uses the informal future "gonna"; the relative clause "that I'm gonna come back to you" further describes "the day".

• I know I did a little blow and I never wrote back to you

  ➔ Simple past + coordinating conjunction + negative adverb "never"

  ➔ Both verbs "did" and "wrote" are in the simple past; they are linked by the conjunction "and" and the adverb "never" negates the second action.

• My love, I wanna give it all to you

  ➔ "wanna" = want to + infinitive

  ➔ The colloquial contraction "wanna" replaces "want to"; it is followed by the infinitive "give".

• I couldn't see the end was coming near the way I do

  ➔ Modal verb "couldn't" + past simple + past continuous "was coming"

  ➔ The modal "couldn't" expresses inability in the past; "see" is in the past simple, and "was coming" is past continuous showing an ongoing action.

• Yesterday is not today is not the same

  ➔ Comparative structure "is not the same"

  ➔ The phrase uses the comparative pattern "is not the same" to show inequality between "yesterday" and "today"; the verb "is" links each subject to the complement "the same".
