• And I told her, "We takin' it up to the top" (Huh? What?)

• Baby, know that I wanna rock out like it's Nirvana

  ➔ Reporting Clause with Omitted `that` + `like` as an Informal Conjunction

• And find out all about you

  ➔ Phrasal Verb

  ➔ `"find out"` is a phrasal verb meaning to discover or learn information. Phrasal verbs combine a verb with a preposition or an adverb (or both) to create a new meaning.
