Grammar:

• I get those goosebumps every time, yeah

  ➔ Present Simple Tense

  ➔ Uses the present simple tense to describe a recurring feeling or experience. The verb "get" is in its base form because the subject is "I". It describes a habitual action that happens "every time".

• You ease my mind

  ➔ Present Simple Tense

  ➔ Uses present simple. "Ease" is used as a verb here, meaning to reduce or alleviate something (in this case, the speaker's anxiety). 'You' is the subject, hence "ease" is used, and not "eases".

• Worried 'bout those comments

  ➔ Shortened Verb + Preposition 'about'

  ➔ Short for "Worried about those comments." The 'bout is a colloquial shortening of "about." The verb "am/is/are" is omitted at the beginning. This is informal language.

• Why they on me? I'm flyin'

  ➔ Informal Question Formation & Present Continuous (shortened)

  ➔ "Why they on me?" is an informal way of asking "Why are they bothering me/focused on me?". "I'm flyin'" is a shortened form of "I am flying." Here, "flying" likely means doing well, being successful, or being under the influence of something. The 'g' is dropped as an informal feature.

• I cannot do no wrong

  ➔ Double Negative (Non-Standard)

  ➔ This is a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect in standard English. "I cannot do no wrong" effectively means "I can do something right." However, in some dialects and informal speech, it's used for emphasis to mean "I cannot do anything wrong".

• Some things you can't relate

  ➔ Modal Verb of Ability (Negative)

  ➔ "Can't" is a contraction of "cannot," a modal verb used to express an inability or lack of possibility. Here, it means the listener is not able to understand or connect with certain experiences.

• We depart the shady parts and party hard

  ➔ Present Simple Tense for General Truths/Habits, Coordinating Conjunction

  ➔ The verbs "depart" and "party" are in the present simple tense, suggesting a general truth or habitual action. The conjunction "and" connects two clauses with equal weight, creating a compound sentence.
