Grammar:

• I FEEL LIKE I'M OUT OF MY MIND

  ➔ Present Simple with 'feel like' + Clause

  ➔ Expressing a subjective feeling or sensation. "Feel like" is used to indicate that the speaker has a sense or impression of being a certain way. The phrase “out of my mind” is an idiom that means the speaker feels crazy or irrational.

• IT FEEL LIKE MY LIFE AINT MINE

  ➔ Non-standard Grammar: Aint' used for 'isn't', Colloquialism

  ➔ "Aint" is a non-standard contraction, often used in informal speech or lyrics. Here, it replaces "isn't". This line expresses a feeling of detachment from one's own life. The use of "ain't" adds to the emotional impact of the statement.

• THEY THINK THEY KNOW IT

  ➔ Pronoun + Verb + Pronoun + Verb + Pronoun

  ➔ Basic sentence structure, demonstrating understanding of others' perceived knowledge. "They" refers to others. "Know it" implies understanding a situation or problem.

• I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR SOMEBODY TO SAVE ME NO ONE'S HEROIC

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous + Infinitive of Purpose + Possessive 's

  ➔ "I've been praying" uses the Present Perfect Continuous to describe an ongoing action that started in the past and continues to the present. "To save me" is an infinitive phrase expressing purpose. "No one's" is a possessive contraction, meaning "no one is". This line suggests a longing for rescue and disappointment that no one has stepped up.

• AND MY LIFE DON'T EVEN MATTER

  ➔ Negative Concord (Non-Standard): 'Don't' used with 'Life'

  ➔ In standard English, with the singular noun "life", you would use "doesn't". The use of "don't" is a feature of some dialects and adds to the informal, emotional tone. "Matter" means to be important or significant.

• I NEVER HAD A PLACE TO CALL MY OWN

  ➔ Past Simple + Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ "Had" is in the past simple tense. "To call my own" is an infinitive phrase of purpose, describing the purpose of having a place. The line expresses a feeling of lacking belonging and stability.

• AIN'T NOBODY CALLING MY PHONE

  ➔ Double Negative (Non-Standard): 'Ain't' and 'Nobody'

  ➔ A double negative is grammatically incorrect in standard English. "Ain't" is a non-standard negation, and combined with "nobody", it creates a double negative. The standard English equivalent would be "Nobody is calling my phone" or "Is anybody calling my phone?". Used for emphasis or impact.

• WHERE U BEEN WHERE U AT WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND

  ➔ Informal contractions and Ellipsis (omission of words)

  ➔ These are shortened versions of questions. "Where U been" is short for "Where have you been?". "Where U at" is short for "Where are you at?". Ellipsis (omission) is common in spoken language and adds to the conversational style.
