Key Grammar Structures
-
Fire go higher
➔ Non-standard Subject-Verb Agreement / Stylistic ellipsis
➔ The subject "Fire" is singular, but the verb "go" is in the base form instead of "goes." This is often used for stylistic impact, a more direct or forceful tone, or in headlines/poetic contexts where strict grammar is relaxed.
-
BABYMONSTER girls got that woo woo ah
➔ Colloquial use of "got that" for "have"
➔ "got that" is an informal and colloquial way to say "have that" or "possess that quality/thing," commonly used in spoken English.
-
Everybody want some but can’t handle what I brought ’em
➔ Subject-Verb Agreement error (for stylistic/informal effect) and informal pronoun
➔ "Everybody" is a singular indefinite pronoun, so it typically requires a singular verb ("wants"). The use of "want" here is a common stylistic choice in informal contexts or song lyrics. "’em" is an informal phonetic reduction and spelling of "them."
-
B.A.B.Y.M.O.N about to blow your mind
➔ "Be about to" (imminent future)
➔ The phrase "about to" (with an implied "is" before it, as in "is about to") indicates that BABYMONSTER is on the verge of performing the action of "blowing your mind" very soon.
-
Call the doctors, paramedics
➔ Imperative verb form
➔ The verb "Call" is in the imperative form, directly commanding or urging the listener to contact doctors and paramedics, emphasizing the intensity of the situation.
-
They calling us beasts
➔ Ellipsis of auxiliary verb in present continuous
➔ The auxiliary verb "are" is implicitly understood but omitted, changing "They are calling us beasts" to "They calling us beasts." This is a stylistic choice for a more direct, informal, and rhythmic delivery.
-
Hundred miles an hour you won’t never get ahead of me
➔ Double negative
➔ The phrase "won’t never" combines two negatives ("will not" and "never"). While grammatically incorrect in standard English (where it would logically mean "will always"), it is frequently used in informal speech and song lyrics for emphatic negation.
-
Think you need a lemonade
➔ Ellipsis of subject and verb ("I think")
➔ The full sentence would be "I think you need a lemonade." The implied subject "I" and the verb "think" are left out, making the sentence more concise and conversational, which is typical in informal English.
-
We’ll do this all night baby, we don’t get tired
➔ Future Simple vs. Present Simple for different aspects
➔ "We’ll do" (short for "we will do") talks about a specific action in the future. In contrast, "we don’t get tired" uses the present simple to state a permanent characteristic or a general truth about the subjects, highlighting their enduring energy.
