Grammar:

• I'm feenin', I just want a taste

  ➔ Present Continuous tense used to express an ongoing state/feeling/desire (slang/informal).

  ➔ The phrase "I'm feenin'" is a slang term that means "I'm really wanting/craving" something. It uses the present continuous ("am" + "feenin' ") to show the intensity and immediacy of the craving. This is a non-standard grammatical usage for emphasis.

• I know that you want me here and now

  ➔ Subordinate Clause with "that" + Present Simple tense.

  ➔ "I know "*that*" you want me here and now" uses "that" to introduce the subordinate clause, which is the object of the verb "know". The present simple "want" describes a current desire or state.

• 'Cause I do it on purpose, maybe (I do, ooh)

  ➔ Emphasis using "do" + Adverb of Manner.

  ➔ The sentence uses "do" to emphasize the action of "doing it". "On purpose" is an adverbial phrase indicating the manner in which the action is performed. Adding "maybe" softens the statement.

• I want my dress rubbin' on your jeans

  ➔ Non-standard Gerund usage (rubbin') + Possessive pronoun ("my")

  ➔ "Rubbin'" is a non-standard form of "rubbing", which should typically be used as a gerund. The phrase express a wanting for a certain action to occur. "My" shows possession of the dress. This is more about the feeling than correct grammar.

• Bounce on it, wine it, switchin' up speed

  ➔ Imperative verbs in a sequence + Non-standard Gerund usage (switchin')

  ➔ "Bounce", "wine" are used as commands, and "switchin'" is a shorthand for "switching", acting as an participle describing the action. These are presented in a sequence to describe actions without conjunctions for rhythmic effect.

• Want you to need me here now (now)

  ➔ Infinitive of purpose (to need).

  ➔ Here, the phrase "to need me" express the intended result of wanting someone. The speaker wants the other person to experience the feeling of need.

• Sé que te gusta cuando lo muevo (oh), move (oh), move (oh), move

  ➔ Spanish: Subordinate Clause with "cuando" (when) + Present Tense + Direct Object Pronoun ("lo").

  ➔ This Spanish sentence translates to "I know that you like it when I move it". "Cuando lo muevo" is a subordinate clause of time introduced by "cuando". "Lo" is a direct object pronoun referring to the act of moving.

• That's why they write these songs about me, that's the proof

  ➔ Cause and effect relationship using "That's why" + demonstrative pronoun ("these")

  ➔ "That's why" is used to introduce the consequence or effect of a certain cause. "These" are specific, referring to the songs mentioned.
