Like a lion in a cage

Coming down with the sound

Worth a million pounds

Key Grammar Structures

• We conquers the floor

  ➔ Subject-Verb Agreement (Stylistic Irregularity)

  ➔ In standard English, the subject "we" (plural) requires the base form of the verb "conquer" (we conquer). Here, "conquers" (typically for third-person singular subjects like "he/she/it conquers") is used, which is grammatically incorrect in standard English but sometimes employed stylistically in music for rhythm or emphasis.

• That was then / This is chapter four

  ➔ Demonstrative Pronouns and Simple Tenses for Contrast

  ➔ "That" refers to a past situation, used with the simple past "was." "This" refers to the current situation, used with the simple present "is." This structure effectively contrasts two different points in time.

• Like a lion in a cage

  ➔ Simile using "like"

  ➔ A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two different things using "like" or "as" to make a description more vivid. Here, the action of causing a riot is compared to the behavior of "a lion in a cage."

• Coming down with the sound

  ➔ Present Participle as a Descriptive Phrase / Reduced Clause

  ➔ The phrase "Coming down with the sound" uses a present participle ("coming") to describe the action or manner of the subject (implied "I" from the previous line "I cause a riot..."). It acts like a reduced clause, meaning "I am coming down..." or "As I come down...".

• Worth a million pounds

  ➔ Adjective "worth"

  ➔ The adjective "worth" is used to indicate the value or importance of something. It is typically followed by a noun phrase specifying the value, like "a million pounds," without a preposition.

• I wanna say with no delay

  ➔ Informal Contraction "wanna" and Idiomatic Prepositional Phrase

  ➔ "Wanna" is an informal contraction of "want to." "With no delay" is an idiomatic phrase meaning immediately or without waiting.

• MC H on the play

  ➔ Ellipsis / Omission of "is"

  ➔ This phrase uses ellipsis, where the verb "is" is omitted for brevity and informal effect, common in spoken language, headlines, and song lyrics. The full sentence would be "MC H is on the play."

• Gonna blow you away

  ➔ Informal Future "gonna" and Phrasal Verb

  ➔ "Gonna" is an informal contraction of "going to," used to express future intention. "Blow (someone) away" is a phrasal verb meaning to impress someone greatly or to utterly defeat them.

• Alright crew, introducing / Mr.FaTman Scoop

  ➔ Present Participle for Announcement

  ➔ The present participle "introducing" is used here to announce the arrival or presentation of someone. It acts as an introductory phrase, implying "We are introducing..." or "Here is someone being introduced...".

• Everybody just jump jump jump jump

  ➔ Imperative with Emphatic "just"

  ➔ This is an imperative sentence, giving a command. The word "just" is used to add emphasis, suggesting that the action should be done simply and directly, or to urge immediate action.
