[English]

You don't gotta cry, yeah

I'll drop everything I got goin' on to see you one time (whoa-oh)

Can I slide? (Slide)

Slide, I don't wanna see nobody else but you on my line (my line)

I'll make sure you feel fine (feel fine)

Make sure you feel fine with me (whoa, yeah)

So why don't you spend some time? (Some time)

Some time with me (spend some time)

Can I slide on you one time? (Can I slide?)

Can I slide on you? Yes, I can

I'm known to slide, but I'm not your man

Can I slide on you one time? (Can I slide?)

Can I slide on you? Yes, I can

I'm known to slide, but I'm not your man

You got rubber bands, poppin' out, bustin' in the club

Go on 'head, show her love

She been sippin' on that drank, baby got a double cup

Go on 'head, show her love

Somebody payin' for it, somebody payin' for it

That shit ain't come free, somebody payin' for it

She strippin' every holiday and Halloween (payin' for it)

She bust it down for me, yeah, get her on knees

Can I slide? (Slide)

Slide, I don't wanna see nobody else but you on my line (my line)

I'll make sure you feel fine (feel fine)

Make sure you feel fine with me (whoa, yeah)

So why don't you spend some time? (Some time)

Some time with me (spend some time)

Can I slide on you one time? (Can I slide?)

Can I slide on you? Yes, I can

I'm known to slide, but I'm not your man

Can I slide on you one time? (Can I slide?)

Can I slide on you? Yes, I can

I'm known to slide, but I'm not your man

Key Grammar Structures

• I'll drop everything I got goin' on to see you one time (whoa-oh)

  ➔ Future tense with "will" (I'll) and present continuous tense ("got goin' on")

  ➔ The sentence uses the future tense with 'will' to express a future action ('I'**ll** drop') and the present continuous ('got goin' on') to describe an ongoing situation at the time of speaking.

• Can I slide?

  ➔ The modal verb "can" is used to ask for permission to do something. Here, it asks for the permission to 'slide'.

• I'm known to slide, but I'm not your man

  ➔ Passive voice ("I'm known") and contrastive conjunction "but".

  ➔ The passive voice ('I'**m known**) indicates the subject receives the action and 'but' creates a contrast between two statements

• You got rubber bands, poppin' out, bustin' in the club

  ➔ Present tense used to describe a habitual action, and participle adjectives ('poppin', 'bustin')

• She been sippin' on that drank, baby got a double cup

  ➔ Present perfect continuous tense ('She been sippin')

• Somebody payin' for it, somebody payin' for it

  ➔ Present continuous tense for a repeated action/situation (emphasis).

  ➔ The present continuous is used here, even though it doesn't represent an action *at the exact moment*, to emphasize the recurring nature of the payment.
