• Go 'head girl, don't you stop

  ➔ Imperative sentences (positive and negative)

  ➔ Future with 'gon'na' (going to) and interrogative sentence with 'should'

• If you be a, I'll be a

  ➔ Conditional sentence (Type 1 - possible condition)

  ➔ This is a simplified conditional sentence expressing a possible condition and its likely result. "If you be a" sets the condition, and "I'll be a" indicates the result if that condition is met.

• Lights on or lights off, she like it
