Key Grammar Structures
-
Put some holes in 'em like a damn cheese grater
➔ Simile
➔ A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two different things using words such as "like" or "as." Here, the speaker's action of "putting holes" is compared to how a "cheese grater" makes holes.
-
Clean cut in this bitch, I'm a lightsaber
➔ Metaphor
➔ A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly states one thing *is* another, without using "like" or "as," implying a deeper resemblance. Here, the speaker directly states "I'm a lightsaber" to convey precision and power.
-
I think I'm a creature, was born in the Black Lagoon
➔ Passive Voice
➔ The passive voice is used when the focus is on the action itself and the recipient of the action, rather than the performer of the action. In "was born," the subject "I" is the one who *received* the action of being born, not the one who performed it.
-
I be in the cut like I got me an open wound
➔ Habitual "be" (African American Vernacular English - AAVE)
➔ In AAVE, "be" is used to indicate actions or states that are recurring, continuous, or habitual. It means "I am usually" or "I am often." Here, "I be in the cut" suggests the speaker is consistently or habitually present in a hidden or specific location.
-
I am one-of-one, I ain't on no bitch's roster
➔ Informal Negation / Double Negative
➔ "Ain't" is an informal contraction for "am not," "is not," "are not," "has not," or "have not." When combined with "no" (as in "ain't on no roster"), it creates a double negative, which, while grammatically incorrect in standard English, is often used in informal speech for emphasis.
-
Told you I'm in all-black, lookin' like a nun
➔ Present Participle Phrase (Reduced Relative Clause)
➔ A present participle phrase, starting with an -ing verb (here, "lookin'" for "looking"), acts as an adjective or adverb, modifying a noun or providing additional information about the main clause. It functions here as a reduced clause, meaning "while I am looking like a nun."
-
And I got a Death Note, I'm 'bout to write your name in
➔ Colloquialisms / Informal Contractions
➔ This line features two common colloquialisms: "got a" (an informal way of saying "have a") and "'bout to" (a contraction of "about to," indicating an immediate future action). These are frequently used in informal spoken English.
-
I'm not from this earth, I pull up in a flyin' saucer
➔ Phrasal Verb
➔ A phrasal verb is a verb combined with a preposition or an adverb (or both) to create a new meaning. "Pull up" here means to arrive somewhere, usually by vehicle.
-
Got 'em all appalled, they shocked, bitch, no taser
➔ Past Participle as Adjective
➔ Past participles (verbs ending in -ed or irregular forms, like "appalled" and "shocked") can function as adjectives to describe a state or feeling. Here, "appalled" and "shocked" describe how "they" felt.
-
Leave me in a room with a beat, it's a slaughter
➔ Implied Conditional Clause
➔ This sentence structure implies a conditional relationship ("If you leave me in a room with a beat, then it's a slaughter") without explicitly using "if." The first clause ("Leave me...") acts as a command or premise, and the second clause ("it's a slaughter") states the inevitable result.
