Grammar:

• HUNNID MILLION DOLLARS, THAT AIN'T SHIT (TO A HUSTLER)

  ➔ Ain't (is not/are not) - Informal contraction

  ➔ "Ain't" is a non-standard contraction of "is not" or "are not". It's used in informal speech, especially in certain dialects. Here, it means "that is not anything special/important".

• LIKE I'M QUAVO

  ➔ Ellipsis - omission of words

  ➔ There is an implied verb. "Like I'm Quavo" means "Like I am Quavo", where the verb 'am' is omitted for stylistic effect.

• I NEED TRUMP TO GET HIM PARDONED

  ➔ Causative "get + object + past participle"

  ➔ The structure "get someone/something + past participle" means to cause something to be done. Here, it means "I need Trump to cause him to be pardoned."

• I WANT MY BITCHES GEEK WITH ME LIKE SCOTTY

  ➔ Adjective as a verb/Intransitive verb use

  ➔ The word "geek" is typically an adjective. Here, "geek" is used intransitively (without a direct object) to describe the act of becoming extremely excited or high on drugs, similar to how Scotty acts. The implied meaning is that the bitches are getting high (on drugs) with the rapper.

• LONG LIVE TAKEOFF, RUNNIN' WITH THE RIFLE

  ➔ Reduced relative clause - "Runnin' with the rifle" acts as an adjectival phrase describing Takeoff

  ➔ The phrase "Runnin' with the rifle" is short for "Who was running with the rifle". The relative pronoun "Who was" is omitted.
