On me, I've got something real solid, there is

Lots of inspiration, don't think [music]
It's solid, you can't respond these days
Don't think I don't want it
What's up, are you paying or [music] playing
small? She's the one who decides
Who decides [singing] the end of
you, I'm only going to love you [music] for
this night
Often head in the clouds [music] feet
firmly on the ground, I remember

Key Grammar Structures

  • Je me souviens d'elle et de tous ces airs.

    ➔ Pronominal verb + prepositional complement

    ➔ The verb "se souvenir" (to remember) always requires the preposition "de". Here, "d'elle" uses the disjunctive pronoun.

  • Alors je lui dis qu'il y a pas de machine arrière.

    ➔ Impersonal expression 'il y a' in negative form

    ➔ The colloquial "y a pas" omits "ne" from "il n'y a pas", used here to signify the absence of a turning back point.

  • Je j'évite qu'à contact.

    ➔ Subjunctive mood after specific conjunctions or constructions

    ➔ The use of "que" + subjunctive (evite que...) expresses a desire or constraint on an action.

  • Tu trouveras pas mieux cette nuit.

    ➔ Future simple (Futur simple)

    ➔ The verb "trouver" is conjugated in the future simple to predict an event happening that night.

  • C'est elle qui décide.

    ➔ Cleft sentence (Mise en relief)

    ➔ The structure "C'est... qui" highlights the subject "elle" to emphasize who is in control.

  • Je vais t'aimer que pour cette night.

    ➔ Futur proche (near future)

    ➔ Formed with "aller" + infinitive, it indicates an action that the speaker intends to perform shortly.

  • Crois pas que je ne veux pas.

    ➔ Imperative negative (Impératif négatif)

    ➔ The imperative "crois" (from croire) is used with "pas" to give a negative command or warning.

  • J'évite qu'à contact.

    ➔ Colloquial elision

    ➔ The shortening of words and omission of grammatical particles is common in rap lyrics for rhythm.
