Key Grammar Structures
-
You might think I'm crazy, the way I've been craving
➔ Present Subjunctive/Conditional Mood
➔ The phrase 'You might think' expresses a possibility or conjecture, using the modal verb 'might' and the subjunctive mood. It's not a statement of fact, but a suggestion of a potential thought. The 'craving' shows a strong desire.
-
If I put it quite plainly, just gimme them babies
➔ First Conditional Clause
➔ The 'If' clause introduces a condition. 'Put it plainly' is a phrasal verb meaning to state something directly. 'Gimme' is a colloquial contraction of 'give me'. The sentence expresses a direct request.
-
Can you stay up all night? Fuck me 'til the daylight
➔ Interrogative and Imperative Mood
➔ The first part is a direct question using 'Can you...?' The second part is a highly explicit imperative sentence, a direct command. The use of 'fuck' is vulgar and emphasizes the intensity of the request.
-
I've been drinking coffee and I've been eating healthy
➔ Present Perfect Continuous
➔ The 'I've been...' structure indicates an action that started in the past and continues up to the present. It emphasizes the duration of the actions (drinking coffee and eating healthy).
-
Six o'clock and I'm crushing, then it get to seven o'clock now he want it
➔ Present Continuous for ongoing action, colloquial language
➔ 'I'm crushing' is slang for enjoying something intensely, in this context, sexual activity. The sentence uses a simple time marker ('six o'clock') and a shift in tense to show a change in desire.
