-
I could do that top shelf.
➔ Modal verb "could" for ability/possibility

-
I was rolling off the pills, I should've never fucked that bitch.
➔ Past continuous + modal perfect "should have" for regret

➔ "gotta" = informal "have got to" (necessity) and contraction "'cause" for "because"

-
I got killers, they gon' kill a nigga, then go and shoot up the hearse.
➔ "gon'" = informal contraction of "going to" (future intention)
➔ The speaker uses the colloquial "gon'" (short for "going to") to indicate a planned future action: "gon' **kill**" = will kill.
-
You think a nigga like me give a fuck about a nigga shooting up a church?
➔ Indirect question with present simple after "think"
➔ The speaker asks a rhetorical question: "You think **give** a fuck..." The verb "think" is followed by a clause in present simple ("give") to express the listener's belief.
