Key Grammar Structures

• IF I HAD THE CHOPPA, I'LL BUST 'EM

  ➔ Second Conditional

  ➔ This uses the structure 'If + past simple, would + base verb'. It describes an unreal or hypothetical situation. The use of 'had' and 'bust' (would bust) indicates a situation that is unlikely to happen. The phrase 'I'll bust 'em' is a contraction of 'I would bust them'.

• YOUR POCKETS EMPTY, YOU CAN'T PAY THE PRICE OF LOYALTY

  ➔ Ellipsis & Zero Conditional (implied)

  ➔ The sentence omits 'If' and 'are'. It's an implied zero conditional: 'If your pockets are empty, you can't pay...'. The zero conditional expresses a general truth. The use of 'empty' as an adjective describing 'pockets' is a common collocation.

• I'MA BALL IN YOUR FACE JUST SO YOU CAN SEE

  ➔ Slang/Informal Contraction & Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ 'I'ma' is a slang contraction of 'I am going to'. 'Just so you can see' is an infinitive phrase of purpose, explaining *why* the speaker is 'balling' (showing off).

• I BOUGHT A NEW CAR FOR MY SISTER AND MY MAMA TOO

  ➔ Coordinate Conjunction & Tag Question

  ➔ The conjunction 'and' connects two direct objects ('my sister' and 'my mama'). 'Too' is an adverb used to add emphasis and indicate that the action applies to another person in addition to the first. It's a stylistic choice, adding a conversational tone.
