#code
# bot.py
import random
import discord
import time

client = discord.Client()

class MyClient(discord.Client): 
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Logged on as', self.user)
        print(f'{client.user} has connected to Discord!')
        
    async def on_message(self, message):
        # don't respond to ourselves
        if message.author == self.user:
            return

        if message.content == 'ping':
            await message.channel.send('pong')
            
        if message.content.lower() == 'pog':
            await message.channel.send('yes pog')

        if 'rickroll' in message.content.lower() or 'rick roll' in message.content.lower():
            await message.delete()
            await message.channel.send(f'@{message.author.mention}, no bad')

        mention = f'<@!{bot.user.id}>'
        
        if mention in message.content:
            if '{mention} say ' in message.content:
                sayOutput = message.content.replace('{mention} say ', message.content)
                await message.channel.send(f'{message.author.mention} asked me to say:\n',
                                           sayOutput)
                                       
                                       
                                      

client = MyClient()
client.run('no token 4 u (no its not because of invalid token other commands work)')

Can anyone please help me with this? I am having problems and dont understand o.o Thanks from Rick Astley

cmon why and how i fix mostly code

mention = f'<@!{bot.user.id}>' this part causes error. you haven't defined a bot variable. — marmeladze
i don't know. give more clue about bot. maybe you just need message.user.id instead of bot.user.id — marmeladze
Your bot instance is called client, not bot. Replace bot.user.id with client.user.id and you should be good — Lukas Thaler

I believe you want to mention the author. Just replace bot.user.id with message.author. There is no bot variable so you ill be mostly referring to messages or channels.
