Grammar:
-
En attendant des imposteurs ont fait de l'argent
➔ Present Participle as Introduction (En attendant)
➔ The phrase "En attendant" which means "while waiting" or "in the meantime", introduces the clause. Using the present participle in this manner creates a sense of simultaneity between the waiting and the event that occurs during that time.
-
Un feat Black M et Sopra ça n'a pas de prix
➔ Impersonal Construction (ça n'a pas de prix)
➔ The expression "ça n'a pas de prix" is an impersonal construction meaning "it's priceless." "Ça" acts as an impersonal subject, emphasizing the general nature of the statement rather than a specific actor.
-
Venez on rap, venez on gratte un freestyle un peu sale
➔ Imperative with 'on' (Venez on rap)
➔ The use of "venez on + verb" is a colloquial way to express an invitation or suggestion for a group to do something. It's similar to saying "let's" in English but using the imperative form.
-
Avec la même dalle qu'à l'époque où on faisait vos premières parties
➔ Relative Clause with 'où' (l'époque où)
➔ The word "où" introduces a relative clause referring to time or place, similar to "when" or "where" in English. In this case, it modifies "l'époque" (the time) specifying the period when they were opening for others.
-
J'ai pas tué 2Pac j'étais pas né gros c'est mon alibi
➔ Past Perfect (J'étais pas né) to establish prior context
➔ The use of the past perfect tense "j'étais pas né" (I wasn't born) establishes that the event of being born occurred before the event of 2Pac's death. This provides context to understand why the speaker couldn't have killed 2Pac.
-
Dix ans que je rappe mais j'ai encore la chance du débutant
➔ Expression of Duration with "...que" (...ans que)
➔ The construction "Dix ans que je rappe" expresses duration, meaning "I've been rapping for ten years." It is a common way to indicate how long an action has been ongoing.
-
J'suis devenu une reus-ta, petit jaloux qu'est-ce t'as?
➔ Question with Subject-Verb Inversion (qu'est-ce t'as?)
➔ The phrase "qu'est-ce t'as?" is a colloquial way of asking "What's wrong?" or "What's the matter?" The inversion of the pronoun "tu" and the auxiliary verb "as" in informal contexts is frequent, especially in spoken French.
-
Si ça marche avec les femmes, c'est que du rap
➔ Cleft Sentence Structure with 'C'est ... que' (C'est que du rap)
➔ The construction "C'est ... que" is used to emphasize a particular element in a sentence. In this case, "C'est que du rap" emphasizes that the reason something is happening is only because of the rap music. The structure splits the sentence to highlight a specific aspect.
-
Promis d'être vrai, pas promis d'être toi
➔ Ellipsis (omission of 'je suis' )
➔ The phrase "Promis d'être vrai, pas promis d'être toi" omits the verb "je suis" (I am) for brevity and impact. While technically grammatically incomplete, it is common in informal French and poetry. The full version would be "Je suis promis d'être vrai, je ne suis pas promis d'être toi".
-
Sors-toi les doigts du derch, t'es has-been
➔ Imperative reflexive verb (Sors-toi)
➔ "Sors-toi les doigts du derch" is an imperative instruction. 'Sors-toi' is the reflexive verb 'se sortir' (to get oneself out of, to remove oneself) in the imperative mood. Here, it's used idiomatically to mean something like "get your act together", but more literally, and vulgarly "take your fingers out of your ass". The reflexive pronoun 'toi' is placed after the verb with a hyphen.
