Grammar:

• Well you done done me in

  ➔ Non-standard English: Double past participle ('done done') for emphasis.

  ➔ Uses the phrase "done me in," which idiomatically means to exhaust or defeat someone. The double "done" is a colloquialism for added emphasis. "You" is the subject and has "done me in".

• But you're so hot that I melted

  ➔ So...that construction (adverb of degree)

  ➔ Expresses a cause-and-effect relationship. "You're" (You are) is "so hot" (cause) "that I melted" (effect). The word "so" intensifies the adjective "hot".

• Before the cool done run out

  ➔ Non-standard English: "done run out" - past participle used incorrectly. Correct: 'Before the cool has run out'

  ➔ "Done run out" is a colloquialism, replacing the standard perfect tense "has run out". It creates a more casual and relaxed tone. The meaning is to act before the opportunity is lost (before the 'cool' runs out).

• I'll be giving it my bestest

  ➔ Non-standard English: 'bestest' - superlative adjective formed incorrectly.

  ➔ "Bestest" is a non-standard, emphatic superlative of "best." The correct form is "best." It is used to emphasize the intention of giving one's utmost effort. The structure "be giving" is using the future continuous to emphasize the ongoing effort.

• Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention

  ➔ Future with 'going to'; 'but' used to mean 'except'.

  ➔ "Nothing's going to stop me" expresses a firm intention about the future. "But" here acts as a preposition meaning "except", so only "divine intervention" could prevent the speaker from achieving their goal.

• Well open up your mind and see like me

  ➔ Imperative mood (open up) and comparative using 'like'.

  ➔ "Open up" is an imperative verb phrase, directly instructing the listener to take action. "See like me" is a comparative phrase. Here "like" acts as a preposition meaning "in the same way as".

• And it's our God-forsaken right to be

  ➔ Possessive pronoun 'our', adjective with hyphen 'God-forsaken', infinitive of purpose 'to be'.

  ➔ "Our" shows possession, indicating that the right belongs to a group of people. "God-forsaken" is a compound adjective modifying the noun "right." "To be" introduces an infinitive phrase that describes the purpose or aim of the right.
