Key Grammar Structures
-
Have you ever met a guy who was super fly
➔ Present Perfect with "ever" + Relative Clause
➔ "Have you ever met" uses the present perfect to ask about an experience at any unspecified time up to now. "who was super fly" is a relative clause providing more information about "a guy".
-
But then every time he talk he be kinda sly
➔ Informal Subject-Verb Agreement (Omission of -s)
➔ In standard English, the third-person singular present simple requires an "-s" ending, so "he talk" should be "he talks". This omission is common in informal speech.
-
when it counts he's no where to be found
➔ Passive Infinitive
➔ "to be found" is a passive infinitive. It means that "he" is the object of the action of finding, rather than the one performing the action.
-
I would have made plans, it was outta my hands
➔ Past Modals (Third Conditional Implied)
➔ "would have made" is a past modal construction, often used in the third conditional to talk about hypothetical situations in the past that didn't happen. It expresses a past intention or possibility that was unfulfilled.
-
Outta know that I know better
➔ Informal Contraction "Outta" for "Ought to"
➔ "Outta" is an informal contraction of "ought to", which expresses a strong recommendation or a sense of duty/obligation. "Ought to know" means "should know" or "it would be right to know".
-
You keep on digging that hole
➔ Phrasal Verb "Keep on" + Gerund
➔ The phrasal verb "keep on" followed by a gerund ("digging") emphasizes the continuous or repeated nature of an action.
-
Make it easier and easier to get over you
➔ Repetitive Comparative Adjectives

When all you ever really needed to do was Hush, hush
➔ Emphatic Structure "All... needed to do was"

-
Whenever you talk sweeter / You're digging that hole deeper
➔ "Whenever" + Comparative Adverbs

-
You tryna cover up
➔ Informal Contraction "Tryna" + Phrasal Verb
