Key Grammar Structures
-
I got racks, I'm a king that's for sure sure.
➔ Present simple with “got” meaning “have”
➔ The verb "got" is used in the present simple to express possession: "I got" = "I have".
-
Special guns, I keep a draco away for sure.
➔ Verb phrase “keep … away” (transitive verb + object + adverbial)
➔ The verb "keep" is followed by a direct object "a draco" and the adverbial phrase "away" indicating distance or prevention.
-
Shawty thick, she bounce on that dick like a pogo.
➔ Present simple third‑person singular (colloquial omission of –s) and simile with “like”
➔ The verb "bounce" is used without the usual third‑person –s, a common informal style, and "like a pogo" creates a simile.
-
All these b****es flexing.
➔ Present participle used as a reduced relative clause (verb‑ing as adjective)
➔ The –ing form "flexing" functions like an adjective, meaning "who are flexing".
-
All you trappin', can't compete, my price is too low.
➔ Modal verb “can’t” + infinitive; comparative “too … low”
➔ "can’t" is the negative modal verb followed by the base verb "compete"; "too low" uses "too" + adjective to indicate excess.
-
She don't swallow, pull out, nut all on her coolo.
➔ Non‑standard use of “don’t” with third‑person singular; series of bare infinitives (imperative style)
➔ "don’t" is normally paired with second‑person subjects; here it appears with "she" – a colloquial, non‑standard form. The verbs "pull out" and "nut" are given as bare infinitives, creating a rapid‑fire imperative feel.
-
I'm my mama's oldest, so I had to.
➔ Past simple “had to” expressing obligation; noun phrase “my mama's oldest” as subject complement
➔ "had to" is the past form of "have to", used to show that something was necessary: "I had to" = "I was required to". The phrase "my mama's oldest" functions as a subject complement describing the speaker.
-
Nine times out of ten, I got it packed in.
➔ Idiomatic expression “nine times out of ten”; present simple “got” meaning “have”
➔ "Nine times out of ten" means “almost always”. The verb "got" is used colloquially for "have", so the line means “I almost always have it packed in”.
