Grammar:

• Come on, it’s gon be fuckin’ hard

  ➔ Informal Contraction 'gon be' (going to be)

  ➔ This uses the very informal contraction "gon be" instead of "going to be," common in spoken English, particularly in music. It expresses a future intention or prediction: it "is going to be" hard.

• No I’m not thinking ’bout no exes know they miss me

  ➔ Double Negative (informal): "not thinking 'bout no exes"

  ➔ The double negative "not thinking 'bout no exes" is grammatically incorrect in standard English but common in some dialects and informal speech. It's used for emphasis, meaning "I'm definitely not thinking about any exes."

• I got the whole room spinning like it’s tipsy

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (informal) - 'like it’s tipsy'

  ➔ The phrase "like it’s tipsy" uses the indicative "is" instead of the subjunctive "were". It's grammatically incorrect in a formal setting but used here to mimic casual speech and emphasis of the similarity. Formal: like it were tipsy

• Whooooooo wanna rock with Jennie

  ➔ Informal Contraction: "wanna" (want to)

  ➔ "Wanna" is a very common contraction of "want to" in informal English. It's rarely used in formal writing.

• Cause they can never ever be

  ➔ Adverb of frequency for emphasis (never ever)

  ➔ The use of "never ever" intensifies the adverb "never," adding extra emphasis to the impossibility of them being like Jennie.

• 얼말 줘도 못해 서커스짓

  ➔ Negative construction with "못해" (can't do)

  ➔ The Korean phrase "얼말 줘도 못해 서커스짓" means "No matter how much money you give, I can't do circus acts." "못해" is a verb indicating inability to perform the action.

• 여러 셀럽들 속에 내 DNA

  ➔ Possessive case (implicit): "my DNA"

  ➔ Although the possessive pronoun "my" isn't explicitly stated in Korean, the meaning is implied. "내 DNA" translates to "my DNA."
