Key Grammar Structures
-
I’m gon shoot if this 30’s all that I got Nigga
➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 1)
➔ This is a first conditional sentence, expressing a real or very probable situation in the future. The structure is "if + simple present, will/going to + base verb". Here, "gon" is a colloquial short for "going to". It implies that the action of shooting will happen if the condition (having only the 30-round magazine) is met.
-
Two door coup, hopping out like Jack In The Box Nigga
➔ Present Participle as an Adverbial Phrase (Manner)
➔ The present participle "hopping out" functions as an adverbial phrase, describing the manner in which the action (implied "he/I came out") is performed. The phrase "like Jack In The Box" further specifies this manner with a simile, comparing the sudden emergence to a toy popping out of a box.
-
got my coins up, my bars up
➔ Colloquial Phrasal Verb / Idiomatic Expression ("got X up")
➔ In this context, "got X up" is a colloquial idiom meaning to have increased, accumulated, or achieved something. "Coins" refers to money/wealth, and "bars" refers to lyrical skill or reputation in rap. So, it means "I have increased my wealth and improved my lyrical ability/status."
-
so much work they call me “Old School”
➔ Result Clause (implied 'that') / Intensifier ("so much... that")
➔ This sentence uses an intensifier "so much" followed by a result clause. Although "that" is omitted (common in informal speech), the full structure is "so much work **that** they call me 'Old School'". It indicates that the amount of "work" (referring to drug dealing or effort) is so great that it leads to the consequence of being called "Old School."
-
that bitch you think you got is not you, where you find her?
➔ Reduced Relative Clause
➔ The phrase "you think you got" acts as a reduced relative clause modifying "that bitch". In its full form, it would be "that bitch **whom** you think you got". The relative pronoun (object of the verb) is omitted, which is common in informal English when it's clear from context.
-
I might get life, that’s on my life, the 44 bite
➔ Modal Verb of Possibility ('might')
➔ The modal verb "might" is used here to express a possibility or a less certain probability that the speaker could face a life sentence. It suggests that this outcome is conceivable but not definite.
-
in my purest form, bitch I’m gritty uh
➔ Superlative Adjective
➔ The phrase "purest form" uses the superlative form of the adjective "pure". This indicates the highest degree of the quality, meaning the speaker is at their most authentic or unadulterated state. It emphasizes an extreme level of a characteristic.
-
we don’t do no class, nigga not subtracting
➔ Double Negative (Colloquial for Emphasis)
➔ This line contains a double negative: "don't do no class". In standard English, two negatives make a positive. However, in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and many informal contexts, double negatives are used for emphasis, meaning "we definitely don't do any class." It strongly reinforces the negative meaning.
-
Faking like you got it in your pockets
➔ Colloquial Conjunction ('like' meaning 'as if')
➔ In informal English, "like" is often used as a conjunction meaning "as if" or "as though". Here, "Faking like you got it" means "Faking **as if** you have it (money/status) in your pockets." It introduces a clause describing a pretended or imagined situation.
