[English]

I ain't lookin' for a ring 'cause I got what I want

I ain't lookin' for a ring 'cause I got what I need

Four in the morning, I buy you a drink

Six in the morning, I take you back to my crib

I'll teach you things, baby, teach you things

Show you every move and make you reach for things

I'll teach you things, baby, teach you things

In the morning

Now it's late in the morning, time for you to leave

I ain't lookin' for a ring 'cause I got what I want and I got what I need

I'll teach you things, baby, teach you things

Show you every move and make you reach for things

I'll teach you things, baby, teach you things

In the morning

You know what I'm like if I don't get to eat in the morning

You know I go wild if I don't get to eat in the morning

I ain't lookin' for a ring 'cause I got what I want

I ain't lookin' for a ring 'cause I got what I need

Four in the morning, I buy you a drink

Six in the morning, I take you back to my crib

I'll teach you things, baby, teach you things

Show you every move and make you reach for things

I'll teach you things, baby, teach you things

In the morning

You know what I'm like if I don't get to eat in the morning

You know I go wild if I don't get to eat in the morning

I ain't lookin' for a ring 'cause I got what I want

I ain't lookin' for a ring 'cause I got what I need

'Cause I got what I want

'Cause I got what I need

'Cause I got what I want

'Cause I got what I need

I ain't lookin' for a ring 'cause I got what I want

I ain't lookin' for a ring 'cause I got what I need

You know what I'm like if I don't get to eat in the morning

You know I go wild if I don't get to eat in the morning

You know what I'm like if I don't get to eat in the morning

You know I go wild-

I ain't lookin' for a ring 'cause I got what I want

I ain't lookin' for a ring 'cause I got what I want

I ain't lookin' for a ring 'cause I got what I need

You know what I'm like if I don't get to eat in the morning

You know I go wild if I don't get to eat in the morning

Key Grammar Structures

• I ain't lookin' for a ring 'cause I got what I want

  ➔ Negative contraction with "ain't" + present progressive; causal clause with "'cause" (because)

  ➔ The speaker uses the informal negative "ain't" instead of "am not" and the –ing form "lookin'" to express a present ongoing state. "'cause" shortens "because" to give a reason.

• I got what I want

  ➔ Simple present with "got" meaning "have"

  ➔ "Got" is used colloquially as the present form of "have": "I have what I want."

• Four in the morning, I buy you a drink

  ➔ Simple present with a time expression at the beginning

  ➔ "Four in the morning" functions as an adverbial phrase of time, placed before the main clause "I buy you a drink."

• I'll teach you things, baby, teach you things

  ➔ Future simple with "will" + base verb; repetition for emphasis

  ➔ "I'll" is the contraction of "I will" indicating a future action. The clause "teach you things" is repeated for stylistic emphasis.

• You know what I'm like if I don't get to eat in the morning

  ➔ Zero conditional (if + present simple, present simple) with a complement clause

  ➔ The clause "if I don't get to eat in the morning" uses the present simple to talk about a regular situation; the main clause also uses the present simple, forming a zero conditional.

• I go wild if I don't get to eat in the morning

  ➔ Zero conditional (if + present simple, present simple) expressing cause‑effect

  ➔ "I go wild" is the result clause, triggered whenever the condition "if I don't get to eat in the morning" is true.

• Show you every move and make you reach for things

  ➔ Bare infinitive clause after a leading verb (imperative style without subject)

  ➔ The verbs "Show" and "make" are in the bare‑infinitive form, typical of instructions or commands where the subject "you" is implied.
