Key Grammar Structures

• Ballin', swish, swish

  ➔ Present participle used as a verb (gerund) in informal/slang style

  ➔ The word "Ballin'" is a present participle that functions as a verb meaning “to be living a lavish lifestyle”.

• Need a rich bitch

  ➔ Elliptical sentence – subject omitted, present simple verb

  ➔ The implied subject “I” is dropped; "Need" is a present‑simple verb meaning “I need a rich woman”.

• Flip a brick quick

  ➔ Imperative mood + adverbial adjective (quick) used instead of adverb (quickly)

  ➔ "Flip" is a command; "quick" functions as an adverb meaning “quickly”.

• She put a hold on the dick

  ➔ Simple past tense, transitive verb + direct object

  ➔ "put" is the past form of the verb; "a hold" is the direct object, "on the dick" is a prepositional phrase.

• What we doin'? Poppin' big shit, nigga

  ➔ Present progressive with colloquial dropping of –g (doin'), rhetorical question

  ➔ "doin'" is the contracted form of "doing"; the phrase asks “what are we doing?” in informal speech.

• If these niggas try to rush, then watch Beezy start snappin', hey

  ➔ First conditional (if‑clause + imperative), using present simple in the if‑clause

  ➔ "If these niggas try" uses present simple to talk about a possible future action; "watch" is an imperative telling the listener what to do.

• I done made a hundred in these Solja Ree' sneakers

  ➔ Colloquial perfect aspect using auxiliary "done" + past participle

  ➔ "done" functions as an auxiliary meaning “have”, so "I done made" = “I have made”.

• I'm in love with the money like Guwop

  ➔ Present progressive "I'm in love" + simile using "like"

  ➔ "I'm" = "I am"; the phrase "in love with" expresses a strong affection, and "like Guwop" creates a simile.

• You know, first off, you ain't the only one gettin' money

  ➔ Negation with colloquial "ain't" + present participle "gettin'" as gerund

  ➔ "ain't" replaces "is not/are not"; "gettin'" is the gerund form of "getting", meaning “earning”.
