• Pull up in a Bentley, it's a big body

  ➔ Informal phrasing, use of 'it's' (contraction)

• Speaking on the gang, you gon' get bodied

  ➔ Slang/Informal Grammar ('gon' - going to, 'bodied' - slang for defeated/killed)

• I don't really know them n*ggas, but I heard about 'em

  ➔ Use of 'really' as an adverb of degree, 'heard about' (phrasal verb)
