Grammar:

• She's ready to spread her wings and fly

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose (to fly)

  ➔ The infinitive phrase "to fly" explains the purpose of her being ready. It answers the question 'Why is she ready?'

• She got to choose one or the other guy

  ➔ Modal Verb (got to)

  ➔ "Got to" is an informal way of saying "has to" or "must," indicating obligation or necessity.

• Don't matter who that girl gonna choose

  ➔ Double Negative (Don't matter...gonna)

  ➔ Technically incorrect grammar, but common in informal speech. The phrase tries to convey "It doesn't matter who the girl is going to choose."

• Time gonna catch up to you

  ➔ Future Simple with "gonna"

  ➔ "Gonna" is a colloquial shortening of "going to," used to express the future tense. It implies certainty that the action will happen.

• No matter which road you choose

  ➔ Conditional Clause - No matter + Wh- Clause

  ➔ "No matter which road you choose" introduces a conditional clause indicating that the outcome (having the blues) is inevitable regardless of the choice made.

• Your girl done walked out on you

  ➔ Past Perfect Simple (non-standard)

  ➔ Using "done" instead of "has" or "had" is a colloquial way to emphasize the completion of the action of walking out. While not grammatically standard, it adds a certain weight or finality to the statement. The standard form would be "Your girl has/had walked out on you."

• Sometimes Life don't seem so fair

  ➔ Subject-Verb Agreement (incorrect, colloquial)

  ➔ The verb "don't" should be "doesn't" because the subject is "Life," which is singular. This is a common colloquial error.
