Grammar:

• IF YOU KEEP SMOKING WEED YOU ARE GONNA DIE

  ➔ Conditional sentences (Type 1)

  ➔ Uses "if + present simple, will/gonna + base form". Here, "if you keep smoking weed" (present simple) shows the condition, and "you are gonna die" (future) is the likely result. "Gonna" is a colloquial contraction of "going to".

• IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST LIGHT, FELL IN LOVE THE FIRST NIGHT

  ➔ Past Simple (irregular verbs)

  ➔ "Was" is the past form of "to be" and "fell" is the past form of "to fall", are both irregular verbs in the past simple.

• LOOKING BACK I WOULDN'T CHANGE SHIT

  ➔ Conditional Sentences (Type 2) / Modal Verbs (Would)

  ➔ This uses the second conditional: if + past simple, would + base form. Here the 'if' clause is implied, as in 'If I could go back', "I wouldn't change shit". 'Wouldn't' is a contraction of 'would not'. The speaker is expressing a hypothetical situation. "would" expresses a willingness in the past.

• AND EVERYTHING SHE EVER TOLD ME, KNEW IT FROM THE GET GO

  ➔ Relative Clause / Past Simple (irregular verbs)

  ➔ "Everything she ever told me" is a relative clause, where "she ever told me" modifies "everything." "Knew" is the past simple of the irregular verb "to know."

• SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA ROLL WITH IT

  ➔ Got to / Gotta (informal) + infinitive

  ➔ "Gotta" is a very informal contraction of "got to", which is itself an informal way of saying "have to" or "must". It expresses necessity or obligation: "Sometimes you have to accept things as they are."
