Grammar:

• Yeah, 'cause girls **is** players too, uh

  ➔ Non-standard verb conjugation ('is' with plural subject)

  ➔ The use of "is" with the plural subject "girls" is grammatically incorrect in standard English. The correct form would be "are". This is likely used for stylistic effect or to reflect colloquial speech.

• What you know 'bout livin' on the top?

  ➔ Informal contraction and preposition omission

  ➔ "Know 'bout" is a contraction of "know about", and the omission of the "g" in "living" ("livin'") is a common informal shortening. Also, the phrase is more formally written as "What do you know about living on top?"

• Took him for a test drive, left him on the lot

  ➔ Simple past tense

  ➔ "Took" and "left" are in the simple past tense, describing completed actions in the past. This is typical for narrative storytelling.

• Time **is** money, so I spent it on a watch, hol' on

  ➔ Present simple (stating a general truth) and past simple

  ➔ "Time is money" uses the present simple to express a general truth or common saying. "I spent it" uses the past simple to describe a specific action that occurred in the past.

• If you don't know, now you know

  ➔ Conditional clause (zero conditional)

  ➔ This is a zero conditional, expressing a general truth or fact. The structure is "If + present simple, present simple". It signifies that if something is unknown, it will become known.

• If he broke, then you gotta let him go

  ➔ Conditional clause (first conditional variant with 'gotta')

  ➔ This sentence employs a first conditional structure with a slight alteration. 'If he broke' (if he is broke) presents the condition, and 'you gotta let him go' (you have got to let him go) indicates the likely consequence. "Gotta" is a contraction of "got to/have got to" expressing obligation or necessity.
