Grammar:

• All of my girls lookin’ good and they got they own money

  ➔ Present participle used as an adjective (lookin')

  ➔ While grammatically not standard English ('looking' would be correct), the use of 'lookin'' is common in informal speech and songs. It modifies 'girls' to describe their appearance.

• With no sponsor they got they own fundin’

  ➔ Pronoun usage ('they' for 'their')

  ➔ This is an example of informal pronoun usage. 'They' is used in place of the possessive 'their', indicating ownership of the funding. Again, a common trait in informal speech.

• Said fuck yo rules is the mood damn right

  ➔ Use of the copula 'is' with a noun phrase as complement

  ➔ Here, the phrase "fuck yo rules" acts as a noun phrase and is the complement of the verb 'is', describing the overall mood.

• Ridin’ ’round Foreign cars

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission) of auxiliary verbs and prepositions.

  ➔ The full sentence would be 'Riding around in foreign cars'. The auxiliary verb 'am/is/are' and the preposition 'in' are omitted for brevity and rhythm.

• Lemme out lemme in

  ➔ Contraction and Imperative Verb Usage ('Lemme' = Let me)

  ➔ 'Lemme' is a contraction of 'let me', a shortened form of the imperative 'Let me out' and 'Let me in'. It gives a direct, immediate feel to the request.

• In the boardroom looking bored cuz I’m not here for pleasing the men

  ➔ Subordinating conjunction 'cuz' (because)

  ➔ 'Cuz' is a shortened, informal version of 'because'. It connects the two clauses, providing the reason for the speaker's boredom.

• This ain’t a new thing no sir

  ➔ Double Negative ('ain't' and 'no')

  ➔ The phrase 'ain't a new thing no sir' uses two negatives, 'ain't' and 'no'. Although considered grammatically incorrect in standard English, this is a common feature of some dialects. The speaker is emphasizing that something is *definitely* not new.
