Key Grammar Structures

• When they say smoke, we on that.

  ➔ Conditional Clause ('When') + Informal Prepositional Phrase ('on that')

  ➔ The word "When" introduces a conditional or temporal clause, indicating that an action will occur under a specific circumstance. "on that" is an informal way to say 'ready for that,' 'involved in that,' or 'agreeable to that'.

• Before this, I was known 'cause I done quit.

  ➔ Informal Use of 'done' + Past Participle

  ➔ In African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and some Southern US dialects, "done" before a verb (e.g., "done quit") emphasizes completion of an action, often similar to a simple past or past perfect, but with added emphasis. It means 'I have already quit' or 'I quit definitively'.

• Ain't never been no blick out.

  ➔ Multiple Negatives (Triple Negative) & 'Ain't' as Auxiliary Verb

  ➔ This line contains multiple negatives ("ain't", "never", "no"), which in Standard English would typically cancel each other out. However, in AAVE, multiple negatives are used for emphasis, intensifying the negation rather than negating it. "Ain't" here serves as an informal contraction for 'has not been' or 'there has not been'.

• Niggas be by on bikes.

  ➔ Habitual 'Be' (African American Vernacular English - AAVE)

  ➔ In AAVE, the unconjugated form of the verb 'be' is used to indicate actions or states that occur habitually, regularly, or continuously, rather than just at the present moment. It implies 'Niggas are often/regularly by on bikes.'

• B*tch ain't gon' say nothing, dude got left with his dick out.

  ➔ Informal Future Negative ('ain't gon'') & Informal Passive Voice ('got left')

  ➔ "Ain't gon'" is a colloquial contraction for 'is/are not going to', indicating a future negative. "Got left" is an informal way to form the passive voice, where 'get' is used instead of 'be' to emphasize the action or the experience of something happening to the subject.

• Nineteen my main bitch, twenty-three my coup.

  ➔ Ellipsis (Omission of 'is' or 'are')

  ➔ In informal and poetic language, linking verbs like 'is' or 'are' are often omitted when the meaning is clear from the context. The full sentence would be 'Nineteen *is* my main bitch, twenty-three *is* my coup.' This creates a more concise and direct style.

• Hit a nigga block so quick, we stackin' up bands so good, this shit like Tetris.

  ➔ 'So... (that)' Construction & Present Participle for Continuous Action

  ➔ The 'so... (that)' construction (e.g., 'so quick [that]...') implies a result without explicitly stating 'that'. 'Stackin' up' is an informal use of the present participle (verb-ing) to describe an ongoing or habitual action, often without the auxiliary verb 'are'.

• What you want, buddy? Got it with me, what's the talkin'?

  ➔ Omission of Auxiliary Verbs and Subjects

  ➔ In highly informal and conversational English, auxiliary verbs (like 'do' in 'What *do* you want?') and subjects (like 'I' in 'I *have* got it with me') are frequently omitted, especially when the context makes the meaning clear. 'What's the talkin'?' uses 'the' with a gerund to question the purpose of an action.

• I can't buy no bitch no bag, but you might luck up and come with me to London.

  ➔ Multiple Negatives for Emphasis

  ➔ In Standard English, two negatives would typically cancel each other out, but in AAVE and other informal dialects, multiple negatives (e.g., "can't buy no... no...") are used to strongly emphasize the negative statement, meaning 'I absolutely will not buy any girl any bag'.
