Shadowing Practice: G-Eazy & Halsey - Him & I (Lyrics) - Learn English Speaking with Video

Cross my heart, hope to die Through my lover, I'd never lie Said be true, I swear I'll try In the end,

it's him and I He's got his head, I'm on my mind We got that love, the crazy kind I am his,

and he is mine In the end, it's him and I My 65 speeding up the PCH, a hell of a ride They don't wanna see us make it,

they just wanna divide 2017, Bonnie and Clyde Wouldn't see the point of living on if one of us died Got that kind of style,

everybody try to rip off YSL dress under when she take the mink off Silk on her body, pull it down and watch her slip off Ever catch me cheating,

she would try to cut my Crazy but I love her, I could never run from her Hit it, no rubber, never would, no one touch her Swear we drop each other mad,

she be so stubborn But what the f* is love with no pain, no suffer?

Incense, this s* it gets dense She knows

when I'm out I feel like she could just sense

If I had a million dollars I was down to 10

cents She be down for whatever never gotta convince You know I hope to die To my lover, I'd never lie It's very true,

I swear I'll try In the end, it's him and I He's out his head, I'm out my mind We got that love,

the crazy kind I am his, and he is mine In the end,

it's him and I Him and I In the end,

it's him and I, him and I In the end,

it's him and I It's her and I, mobbing to the end of time Only one who gets me, I'm a crazy f*ing Gemini Remember this for when I die

Everybody dress in all black suits and a tie My funeral be lit

if I ever go down or get caught Or they identify, my bitch was the most solid Nothing to solidify, she would never cheat You never see her with a different guy Ever tell you different,

then it's a lie See that's my downbeat, see that's my soldier She keep that dang dang

if anyone goes there the common collective She keeps her composure

and she gon' ride for me until this thing over We do drugs together, we'll collapse together and we both go crazy if we was to sever You know,

we keep mobbing it's just me and my The world we just gon' keep getting rich, you know Cross my heart,

hope to die, to my lover I'd never lie To be true, I swear I'll try In the end,

it's him and I He's out his head, I'm out my mind We got that love, the crazy kind I am his,

and he is mine In the end,

it's him and I Him and I In the end,

it's him and I Him and I Ooh,

ooh, ooh In the end, it's him and I Cross my heart,

hope that I do you I've never laughed for you I take a life, it's him and I And I swear, ayy To the end, I'ma ride with you Mobbing,

get money, get high with you Cross my heart, hope to die This is how I did I You can confide in me There's none to hide

and I swear Stay solid, never lie to you Swear most likely I'ma die with you Cross my heart, hope to die To my lover,

I'd never lie To be true, I swear I'll try In the end, it's him and I He's got his head,

I'm on my mind We got that love, the crazy kind I am his, and he is mine In the end,

it's him and I Him and I In the end,

it's him and I

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
