Grammar:

• Can't keep my name out their mouth these days, yeah, they say

  ➔ Modal verb "can't" + causative "keep" + object + prepositional phrase "out of"

  ➔ This sentence utilizes a colloquial way of saying "they can't stop talking about me". "Keep someone/something out of somewhere" means to prevent it from being there. In this instance, it's being used figuratively.

• Truth is, I just ain't about these games they all play

  ➔ Informal negative contraction "ain't", relative clause "they all play" modifying "games"

  ➔ "Ain't" is a non-standard contraction for "am not", "is not", or "are not". The relative clause clarifies which games are being referenced.

• Somethin' stronger than the whiskey

  ➔ Comparative adjective "stronger" followed by "than"

  ➔ This uses a comparative adjective to show something is more powerful than whiskey.

• But every time I feel her kiss me

  ➔ Subordinating conjunction "every time" introducing a dependent clause; bare infinitive "kiss"

  ➔ "Every time" acts as a conjunction, linking the main clause to the subordinate clause. "Feel her kiss me" uses the bare infinitive because "feel" is a verb of perception. After verbs of perception, the bare infinitive is used when referring to the completion of an action.

• Who won't leave a hole in my heart

  ➔ Relative pronoun "who" introducing a non-restrictive relative clause; negative future tense "won't leave"

  ➔ "Who" refers back to "somebody" and introduces a clause that describes a characteristic the speaker desires. "Won't" is a contraction of "will not", indicating a future action that will not happen.

• That don't want me fallin' apart

  ➔ Relative pronoun "that" introducing a restrictive relative clause; non-standard negative agreement "don't"; gerund "fallin'" after "want"

  ➔ "That" refers back to "somebody" and introduces a clause that defines a characteristic that the speaker desires. "Don't" should be "doesn't" because the subject is "that" (which refers to somebody, singular). In non-standard English, "don't" is sometimes used regardless of the subject. "Want me fallin'" means that they don't want the speaker to be "fallin' apart."

• I need someone that I'd be proud

  ➔ Conditional tense ('d be = would be); relative clause with omitted relative pronoun ('that' acts as the object of 'proud of')

  ➔ ''d be' is a contraction of 'would be', expressing a conditional or hypothetical feeling. 'That' introduces a relative clause, and the full sentence could be 'I need someone that I would be proud of'. The 'of' can be omitted, but it's implied.
