Grammar:

• All I want for my birthday is a big booty hoe

  ➔ Use of 'all I want' + 'is' to express a specific desire.

  ➔ The phrase **'All I want'** introduces a clear personal desire, followed by **'is'** to link it with the specific object of longing.

• When I die, bury me inside the Louis store

  ➔ Use of the simple present tense after 'When' for future or conditional events.

  ➔ The phrase **'When I die'** uses the **'when'** + present tense to indicate a future conditional situation.

• She got a big booty so I call her Big Booty

  ➔ Use of 'so' to indicate cause and effect.

  ➔ The conjunction **'so'** connects the cause (**'She got a big booty'**) with the effect (**'I call her Big Booty'**).

• They ask me what I do and who I do it for

  ➔ Use of reported speech with question words without inversion.

  ➔ The sentence employs **reported speech** with the **question words** **'what'** and **'who'** without the typical subject-verb inversion used in direct questions.

• She holdin' out, she ain't givin' to the needy, huh?

  ➔ Use of present continuous tense with colloquial contraction for 'holding out'.

  ➔ The phrase **'She holdin' out'** uses the colloquial **present continuous** tense with the **-ing** form, indicating an ongoing action in informal speech.
