Key Grammar Structures
-
I don't even give a fuck
➔ Simple present tense with negation
➔ The structure uses "don't" (do not) + base verb to express negation in the present simple tense. "I don't give" shows a habitual action or state that doesn't happen.
-
I goes deep in that pussy, Dan Marino
➔ Non-standard verb conjugation
➔ Standard grammar would use "I go" but the lyric uses "I goes" which is a non-standard conjugation often found in informal speech and some dialects, particularly AAVE (African American Vernacular English).
-
Flyer than a fucking beetle
➔ Comparative structure
➔ The structure uses "-er" ending (flyer) to form the comparative of the adjective "fly" (meaning cool or stylish). It follows the pattern: subject + comparative adjective + "than" + object of comparison.
-
I'm faded
➔ Present continuous tense
➔ The structure uses "am" + "-ing" form (faded) to describe a current state or action happening now. In this context, "faded" means being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
-
Why you McLovin when the bitch call me daddy
➔ Question formation with present simple
➔ This is an informal question structure. Standard grammar would be "Why are you McLovin..." but the lyric omits the auxiliary verb "are", which is common in informal speech and some dialects. The second clause uses present simple "call" instead of "calls".
-
There's too many bitches
➔ Existential "there" with plural noun
➔ Standard grammar would use "There are" with plural nouns, but the lyric uses "There's" (There is) with "too many bitches" (plural). This is a common feature in informal speech where "there's" is used regardless of whether the noun is singular or plural.
-
I told her if I change, she won't get a penny
➔ First conditional sentence
➔ The structure follows the first conditional pattern: if + present simple (change), will + base verb (won't get). It expresses a real possibility in the future - if the condition (I change) happens, then the result (she won't get a penny) will follow.
-
Prior to me cumming, I had to stick my thumb in
➔ Gerund after preposition
➔ The structure uses the preposition "to" followed by a gerund "cumming". When a preposition is followed by a verb, the verb must be in the -ing form (gerund). The main clause uses past perfect "had to" to express obligation in the past.
