Grammar:

• Pinks and blue like bubblegum

  ➔ Simile using "like"

  ➔ This line uses the simile "like" to compare the colors of the money (pink fifties and blue hundreds) to the colors of bubblegum. It highlights the playful and visually appealing nature of the money.

• Showed her my money spread. She spread her legs, yeah, I got her sprung

  ➔ Use of past tense and implied causation

  ➔ This line uses the simple past tense ("Showed", "spread", "got") to describe a sequence of events. The implication is that showing the money spread directly caused her to spread her legs and become "sprung" (infatuated or sexually aroused). This implies a direct causal link between wealth and sexual attraction, a common theme in some rap lyrics.

• Copped a fuckin' castle, every bedroom the master

  ➔ Ellipsis and possessive noun usage

  ➔ The line uses ellipsis, where words are omitted but understood. "Every bedroom the master" is a shortened form of "Every bedroom is the master bedroom." "Master" is also functioning as a possessive, meaning master bedroom.

• Tall model, bitch, to fuck this ho, you gotta use a ladder

  ➔ Informal language and hyperbolic statement (hyperbole)

  ➔ This line uses very informal language (swear words, slang). The phrase "you gotta use a ladder" is a hyperbole, exaggerating the height of the model to emphasize her desirability and the artist's status.

• This a money spread, hunnids goin' up my leg, yeah-yeah

  ➔ Non-standard grammar ("This a") and present participle usage

  ➔ "This a" is an example of non-standard English, a deliberate deviation from the correct "This is a". "Goin'" is a shortened form of "going" and is used as a present participle, describing an action in progress (money going up the leg).

• She wanna ride it, huh, she wanna ride, I told her get on the pegs

  ➔ Informal verb conjugation and imperative sentence.

  ➔ "Wanna" is a contraction of "want to", indicating informal speech. "Get on the pegs" is an imperative sentence, a command or instruction.
