-

➔ Colloquial contraction of 'have got to' meaning obligation. 'Gotta' is followed by a base verb ('ball').
-
Now I can't prove my loving
➔ Gerund as abstract noun
➔ 'Loving' (gerund) functions as an abstract noun meaning 'capacity for love' rather than a continuous verb. Common in poetic/lyrical contexts.
-
Do anything but go home
➔ Anything but + base verb
➔ Phrase expressing strong avoidance. 'Anything but' is followed directly by a base verb ('go') without 'to'.
-
I'm gon' get it
➔ Gon' (going to)
➔ Phonetic reduction of 'going to' to 'gon''. Represents future intention. Common in rapid speech and music.
-
His love good, but your love's the best
➔ Zero copula & possessive contraction
➔ 1) Omission of 'is' in 'His love good' (zero copula). 2) Contraction of 'love is' to 'love's'. Both common in informal speech.
-
I ain't ready to go
➔ Ain't (negative auxiliary)
➔ Versatile negative contraction replacing 'am not', 'isn't', or 'aren't'. Here it means 'am not'. Common in dialects and informal English.
