• J's on my feet, you know it

  ➔ Simple Present Tense & Tag Question

• So get like me

  ➔ Imperative Mood with 'like' as a preposition

  ➔ Non-standard 'be' for habitual action, coordinating conjunction

• Got a joint if you wanna get stoned

  ➔ Conditional Clause with Ellipsis

  ➔ Indirect Question and Ellipsis

• I got 30 pairs of J's that ain't never been released

  ➔ Relative Clause with Non-Standard Negation
