Grammar:

• I don't want to put no pressure on ya

  ➔ Double Negative (Non-standard)

  ➔ The use of "no" twice ( "don't want to put no pressure") is a double negative. In standard English, it should be "I don't want to put any pressure on you" or "I want to put no pressure on you."

• Since our last undressin session, I'm not really sure if you've been checking

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous ( "you've been checking") in an 'if' clause, reporting something that has continued until now.

  ➔ The lyric uses the present perfect continuous to ask if the other person has been actively thinking about or investigating something related to the speaker since their last encounter. The "if" introduces a condition, and the tense choice suggests ongoing attention.

• I was counting down the days, Been more patient than a Browns fan

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of "I have"). Comparison using "more...than"

  ➔ "Been more patient..." is shortened form of "I have been more patient...". This highlights the speaker's extreme patience using a relatable comparison. The structure "more + adjective + than" indicates a comparative degree.

• Where that chip at? Probably on your shoulder

  ➔ Informal Language ("at" at the end of the sentence) and idiom ("chip on your shoulder").

  ➔ Ending the question with "at" is a colloquialism, common in certain dialects. "Chip on your shoulder" is an idiom meaning someone is holding a grudge or is easily offended.

• Left you on read, Apologies are said

  ➔ Passive voice ("apologies are said").

  ➔ "Apologies are said" is a passive construction where the subject (apologies) receives the action. This is used instead of the active voice ("I said apologies") to perhaps de-emphasize the speaker's action and focus on the fact that apologies were given.

• I won't let cumulus clouds all in the sky ruin my vibe

  ➔ Future simple with "will" for a decision made at the moment of speaking. Use of the verb "let" to express permission or allowing something to happen.

  ➔ The sentence expresses a determination not to allow something (the clouds) to negatively affect the speaker's mood. The phrase "won't let" indicates a firm intention to prevent something from happening.

• Usually, I don't do this often, But since we're coolin', is it an option?

  ➔ Present simple with "don't do" to express a general truth or habit. Use of "since" as a conjunction to introduce a reason. Question formed with inversion.

  ➔ The speaker establishes that their behavior is unusual, then provides a reason for it. The question form, "is it an option?", indicates a polite inquiry about the possibility of something.
