Key Grammar Structures
-
J'ai rêvé **que** j'avais 10 millions dans une carte
➔ Indirect statement with "que" after a past‑tense verb (imparfait)
➔ The conjunction **"que"** introduces a subordinate clause that uses the imperfect (j'avais) because the main verb is in the past (j'ai rêvé).
-
**Quand** je me réveille bas j'suis tout seul dans mon appart'
➔ "Quand" + present indicative for future/habitual actions
➔ The temporal conjunction **"Quand"** is followed by the present tense (je me réveille) to refer to an event that will happen repeatedly or in the near future.
-
J'suis dégouté d'ici **faut** vite que je **parte**
➔ Impersonal expression "faut + que + subjunctive"
➔ The impersonal **"faut"** (short for "il faut") is followed by **"que"** and the verb in the subjunctive (part**e**) to express necessity or urgency.
-
Ici **faut** le ce-vi, **pour rester** en vie
➔ Impersonal "faut + infinitive" construction
➔ The impersonal **"faut"** is directly followed by an infinitive (**pour rester**) to indicate what is necessary.
-
**Y'a** pas d'baraka pour les bandits
➔ Existential "il y a" contracted to "y'a" + negation
➔ The phrase **"Y'a"** is a colloquial contraction of **"il y a"** (there is). Adding **"pas"** makes the sentence negative: there is no luck for the bandits.
-
C'était **soit** j'arrive **soit** j'braque j'dis vide la caisse
➔ Correlative conjunction "soit...soit" (either...or)
➔ The pair **"soit...soit"** introduces two alternative actions (j'arrive / j'braque). It functions like “either…or”.
-
**Fait pas** confiance à cette gadji, elle peut te **niquer** ton coeur
➔ Negative imperative (informal) – "Ne … pas" → "Fait pas"
➔ The usual negative command **"Ne ... pas"** is dropped in slang, leaving **"Fait pas"** (do not). The verb **"niquer"** is a vulgar slang meaning “to mess up/ruin”.
-
Tu **finis** gazé comme un ancien d'la tess
➔ "Finir" + past participle used adjectivally (to become)
➔ Here **"finis"** is followed by the past participle **"gazé"**, which functions like an adjective meaning “ended up shot/gunned”. This construction expresses a change of state.
-
Sur 10 grammes j'**fais** 900, 900 j'**prend** 30 grammes
➔ Colloquial contractions "j'" + verb (dropping "e"), informal present tense
➔ The speaker drops the vowel **"e"** in **"je"**, writing **"j'"** before the verb (**fais**, **prend**). This is typical of spoken French and signals a casual register.
