Heut' Nacht denken wir uns Namen für Sterne aus
➔ Separable verb "ausdenken"
➔ "Ausdenken" means "to think up" or "to invent". In the sentence, "aus" is separated and placed at the end, which is typical for separable verbs in German.

Wenn ich mit Rap, dann mit der Pumpgun
➔ Ellipsis and Instrumental Case
➔ There's an ellipsis, missing the verb "mache" or "rappe." "Mit der Pumpgun" can be interpreted instrumentally, suggesting the pumpgun is the *means* by which the rapping is done, although this is metaphorical and provocative. Pumpgun is dative after the preposition 'mit'.
