And you got your own key, yeah

Here, the speaker implies the person's actions or qualities create a strong impression of amazement.

• You never ever tried to play me

  ➔ Emphasis with 'never ever'; Verb + infinitive pattern ('tried to')

  ➔ Present participle clause (adverbial phrase of manner/reason)
