[English]

I know it, I know it, I know it

I know it, I know it, I know it

I know it, I know it, I know it

Alright

Everybody in the building disappear

That's the way you looking at me

Whispering silly nothings in my ear

Careful now, this could get ugly

All night, I give you all my dirty crime

I bet you never had imagined she could be so mean

Careful what you're doing, 'cause if I decide to bite

Bitches know I make the boys go zombie all the time

They say I'm an animal, they all have read it

You don't wanna fuck with me

Leavin' no survivors if you don't believe the hype

Bitches know I make the boys go zombie all the time

They say I'm an animal and you'll regret it

You don't wanna fuck with me

Nothing can kill my swagger once it's on

I eat boys like you for breakfast

I really like you, too, don't get me wrong

That's why you should make an exit

All night, I give you all my dirty crime

I bet you never had imagined she could be so mean

Careful what you're doing, 'cause if I decide to bite

Bitches know I make the boys go zombie all the time

They say I'm an animal and they all had read it

You don't wanna fuck with me

Leavin' no survivors if you don't believe the hype

Bitches know I make the boys go zombie all the time

They say I'm an animal and you'll regret it

You don't wanna fuck with me

You don't want this kiss, you don't want this touch

Better not come crying when it's all too much

See, you don't wanna text me 'cause I won't write back

If you want this Queen, better be Batman

I'm a strong female and I don't play nice

Only one I know that has hit this twice

And it crumbled quick in the morning light

There was nothing left but Ciroc and Sprite

Oh, doesn't that sound nice?

If you want the best, you can pay this price

Careful what you're doing, 'cause if I decide to bite

Bitches know I make the boys go zombie all the time

They say I'm an animal, they all have read it

You don't wanna fuck with me

Leavin' no survivors if you don't believe the hype

Bitches know I make the boys go zombie all the time

They say I'm an animal and you'll regret it

You don't wanna fuck with me

I know it, I know it, I know it

I know it, I know it, I know it

I know it, I know it, I know it

Alright

Key Grammar Structures

• Everybody in the building disappear

  ➔ Imperative verb + adverbial phrase

  ➔ The sentence uses the imperative mood (disappear) to give a command or make a strong suggestion. The phrase "in the building" functions as an adverbial phrase of place.

• That's the way you looking at me

  ➔ Present continuous tense for a specific action

  ➔ The phrase "looking at" is in the present continuous tense, describing an action happening at the moment of speaking, or a specific, temporary action.

• Whispering silly nothings in my ear

  ➔ Present participle acting as a modifier

  ➔ The word "Whispering" is a present participle modifying the implied subject (you/they). It describes the action being performed.

• Careful now, this could get ugly

  ➔ Conditional clause (implied)

  ➔ The phrase implies a conditional relationship: "If you're not careful, this could get ugly." The "could" suggests a possibility.

• I bet you never had imagined she could be so mean

  ➔ Past perfect tense and modal verb

  ➔ The use of "had imagined" (past perfect) shows an action completed before another action in the past. "Could be" is a modal verb expressing possibility.

• Bitches know I make the boys go zombie all the time

  ➔ Simple Present, habitual action, idiom

  ➔ The verb "make" is used in the simple present tense to express a habitual action. "Go zombie" is an idiomatic expression.

• Leavin' no survivors if you don't believe the hype

  ➔ Conditional clause (shortened) using present participle

  ➔ The phrase is a shortened conditional clause. "Leavin'" (present participle) implies the action will result if you don't believe the hype. It's an elliptical construction, omitting "(I'm) leavin'" for stylistic effect.

• You don't want this kiss, you don't want this touch

  ➔ Repetition and emphatic use of 'don't'

  ➔ The repetition of "you don't want" emphasizes the speaker's warning. The emphatic "don't" increases the warning's power.

• Only one I know that has hit this twice

  ➔ Relative clause with a subject pronoun omitted (informal)

  ➔ The relative pronoun "who" or "that" (referring to "one") is implied and omitted before "has hit". This is common in informal speech.
