Key Grammar Structures

• I'M A MILLIONAIRE, I'M A YOUNG MONEY MILLIONAIRE

  ➔ Use of the indefinite article 'A' before a noun denoting profession/status.

  ➔ Here, 'I'm "A" millionaire' signifies that the speaker is one among many millionaires. The repetition emphasizes this status.

• MY CRITERIA COMPARED TO YOUR CAREER JUST ISN'T FAIR

  ➔ Use of the verb "to be" in the negative form with an adjective. Comparison using 'compared to'.

  ➔ "Isn't fair" uses the verb "is" in its negative form to describe the adjective "fair." The speaker compares his "criteria" to the listener's "career," highlighting their disparity.

• I DON'T WRITE SHIT, 'CAUSE I AIN'T GOT TIME

  ➔ Use of double negative ('don't write shit' in informal English). Contraction ('ain't') for 'am not/is not/are not', and use of 'cause' for 'because'.

  ➔ The phrase "I don't write shit" is a double negative and grammatically incorrect in standard English but common in informal speech. "Ain't" is a non-standard contraction. "Cause" is a shortened informal version of "because."

• IF YOU CAN'T BEAT 'EM, THEN YOU POP 'EM

  ➔ Conditional clause with 'if'. Use of the imperative form implied in the 'pop 'em' part of the sentence. Use of contractions ('can't').

  ➔ This sentence is a variation of the common phrase "If you can't beat them, join them." Here, it's replaced with 'pop 'em', meaning shoot them, indicating a violent approach. 'Can't' is the contraction of 'cannot'.

• LIKE SMOKING THE THINNEST AIR

  ➔ Use of "like" as a preposition to indicate similarity. Use of the superlative adjective "thinnest".

  ➔ "Like" functions as a preposition comparing the cocaine being snorted to smoking the "thinnest" air - something virtually non-existent. "Thinnest" is the superlative form of "thin".

• OKAY, YOU'RE A GOON, BUT WHAT'S A GOON TO A GOBLIN?

  ➔ Use of rhetorical question to emphasize a point. Use of "what's...to..." structure for comparison and diminishment.

  ➔ This is a rhetorical question, not meant to be answered literally. It serves to diminish the importance of being a "goon" by implying that a "goblin" is far more powerful or menacing. The structure "What's A to B?" implies B is significantly superior to A.

• AND IT AIN'T TRICKIN' IF YOU GOT IT

  ➔ Use of colloquial language: 'ain't' (is not/are not) and 'trickin'' (slang for spending money on someone to impress them). Conditional clause with 'if'.

  ➔ "Ain't" is a non-standard contraction of "is not/are not." "Trickin'" is slang for lavishly spending money on someone, often a romantic interest. The conditional clause 'if you got it' implies that if you have money to spend, it isn't foolish to spend it on others.
