-
Who would ever thought that I'd be on top?
➔ Inversion + Subordinating conjunction + Conditional clause
➔ The sentence starts with "Who," suggesting an inversion of the typical subject-verb order for emphasis. "that" introduces a clause. The conditional aspect implies a hypothetical past situation.
-
Signing bitches titties in the crowd while they doing mosh pits (doing mosh pits)
➔ Gerund + Prepositional phrase + Time clause

-
Get a bitch from after the show, give her dick 'til she throw up
➔ Imperative + Prepositional phrase + Conditional Clause
➔ The sentence starts with an imperative verb "Get." The prepositional phrase provides context. The "'til" clause implies a conditional outcome.
-
I done seen a lot of smoke

-
Do what I please, I can't please no hoe
➔ Imperative clause + Independent clause + Negation + Pronoun
➔ The first part is an imperative. The second is an independent clause with the negation, and "no hoe" is a pronoun object.
-
I been a lot of shit in my life but a bitch, I am not it (I am not it)
➔ Present Perfect + Prepositional phrase + Coordinating conjunction + Pronoun + Emphasis
➔ Uses "been" as the past participle of "be" in the present perfect tense. "a lot of shit in my life" acts as the object. "but" is a coordinating conjunction. "I am not it" is a emphatic statement.
-
Unless a opp ain't get whacked
➔ Subordinating conjunction + Conditional Clause + Negation + Passive voice
➔ "Unless" introduces a conditional clause implying something will happen only if a condition is not met. "ain't" is a negation contraction. "get whacked" is passive voice construction.
-
I can tell when it's facts
➔ Modal verb + Direct speech + Subordinate clause
➔ This sentence uses the modal verb "can" to indicate ability. "it's facts" can be interpreted as a form of direct speech, which is then the subject of the subordinate clause.
