Key Grammar Structures
-
I'm just a gun with the hire
➔ Prepositional phrase ('with the hire') modifying 'gun'. Use of 'the' before 'hire' implies a specific hiring arrangement.
➔ This line implies the speaker is a weapon being used for a specific purpose. The grammar is relatively straightforward, but the implied meaning is complex.
-
Am I, am I in love Or am I off the drugs?
➔ Repetition for emphasis ('Am I, am I'). Use of 'off' in 'off the drugs' to indicate being in a state resulting from ceasing drug use.
➔ Two contrasting questions posed to question the speaker's feelings/state of mind. The use of 'off' here implies a departure from a state induced by drugs, rather than simply not taking them.
-
Your girl say I fuck like a thug
➔ Use of 'like' to indicate resemblance or similarity. Informal language ('fuck', 'thug').
➔ This line contains sexually explicit language, and it's using the word 'like' as a comparative element indicating how the speaker has intercourse.
-
Let the chains hit her face
➔ Imperative sentence ('Let the chains hit her face'). 'Let' used to allow or permit something to happen.
➔ An imperative statement portraying violence. 'Let' here doesn't literally mean permission but rather a declaration of intent or inevitability.
-
Suicide's a mistake
➔ Contraction ('Suicide's'). Use of indefinite article ('a') implying suicide is a type of mistake.
➔ A declarative statement expressing an opinion. The succinctness of the statement amplifies its impact.
-
I feel like Xzibit 'cause I pimp my ride
➔ Use of 'like' for comparison ('I feel like Xzibit'). Causal conjunction 'cause (because).
➔ Uses a simile to compare the speaker's feelings to Xzibit, relating to customizing a car. The use of 'cause' is colloquial.
-
It's just so hard to stay attached to this world
➔ Use of 'so' as an intensifier ('so hard'). 'To stay attached' - infinitive phrase acting as a complement.
➔ Expresses a feeling of alienation or difficulty connecting with the world. Grammatically sound and conveys a clear sentiment.
-
Thoughts contrived, yeah, baby I can never do right in your mind
➔ Past participle 'contrived' used as an adjective to describe 'thoughts'. Use of 'never' to indicate a complete lack of possibility. 'Do right in [someone's] mind' - idiomatic expression meaning to meet someone's expectations or gain their approval.
➔ The speaker expresses a feeling of being unable to please someone, even with deliberate or calculated actions. The use of 'baby' adds a layer of informality and potentially intimacy to the statement.
