Grammar:
-
How many opps you really got? I mean, it's too many options
➔ Quantifiers (How many, too many)
➔ "How many" is used to ask about a countable noun (opps). "Too many" expresses an excessive quantity of countable nouns (options).
-
I'm finna pass on this body, I'm John Stockton
➔ Slang/Informal Future Tense ("finna")
➔ "Finna" is slang for "going to" or "about to", used informally to express future intention. "I'm finna pass" means "I'm going to pass".
-
Beat your ass and hide the Bible if God watchin'
➔ Conditional Clauses (Zero Conditional with omitted 'is')
➔ The sentence implies a zero conditional: "If God is watching, I will hide the Bible after beating you up." The "is" in "God is watching" is omitted for stylistic effect.
-
Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young
➔ Indirect Speech (Simplified)
➔ "I hear you like 'em young" is a simplified form of indirect speech. A more formal version would be "I hear that you like them young."
-
To any bitch that talk to him and they in love
➔ Relative Clause with Subject-Verb Agreement Issue
➔ The relative pronoun "that" refers to "any bitch", which is singular, but the pronoun "they" is plural. It should be "she" or "is" instead of "they" and "are". This is a stylistic choice for informal speech but grammatically incorrect.
-
Why you trollin' like a bitch? Ain't you tired?
➔ Question Formation with Auxiliary Contraction and Slang
➔ "Ain't you tired?" is a question formed using a negative contraction of the auxiliary verb "are". "Ain't" is non-standard English for "am not", "is not", or "are not".
-
They not like us, they not like us, they not like us
➔ Omission of auxiliary verb 'are'
➔ In standard English it should be 'They are not like us'. The omission of 'are' is for emphasis and stylistic effect.
-
Aint that somethin'? B-Rad stands for bitch and you Malibu Most Wanted
➔ Informal language and pronounciation (aint, somethin')
➔ 'Aint' is a dialectal or nonstandard contraction of 'isn't' or 'aren't' or 'am not'. 'Somethin'' is a shortened pronunciation of 'something'
