Key Grammar Structures

• I've never met nobody like you

  ➔ Double negative (technically grammatically incorrect in formal English, but common in informal speech/song lyrics)

  ➔ The use of "never" and "nobody" creates a double negative. Standard English would require 'I've never met anybody like you' or 'I've met nobody like you'. The double negative is used here for emphasis and style, typical of informal language. It breaks the formal rule that two negatives cancel each other out.

• You're never not on my mind

  ➔ Double negative (similar explanation as above)

  ➔ Again, this utilizes a double negative. The intended meaning is 'You are always on my mind.' The double negative adds emphasis and a more casual tone.

• I'm never gon' let you cry

  ➔ Informal contraction 'gon'' (going to)

  ➔ 'Gon'' is a very informal and dialectal contraction of 'going to'. Its use indicates a casual and often youthful style.

• I'll never not be your ride or die

  ➔ Double negative, future tense with contraction, idiom ('ride or die')

  ➔ This sentence contains a double negative ('never not'), a future tense contraction ('I'll'), and the idiom 'ride or die' (meaning someone who is extremely loyal and supportive, no matter what). The double negative means 'I will always be your ride or die.' The idiom adds a strong emotional element.
