Key Grammar Structures
-
Arny's got me vibing
➔ Causative verb 'get someone doing something'
➔ The structure "get someone doing something" means to cause or persuade someone to do something, often implying an ongoing action. Here, "Arny" causes the speaker to be in a state of "vibing" (feeling good, enjoying the music).
-
Hope you know I'm proud of you
➔ Noun clause (after 'know')
➔ The phrase "I'm proud of you" functions as a noun clause, serving as the direct object of the verb "know". The conjunction "that" is often omitted in such clauses in informal English.
-
They don't know what you been through
➔ Omission of auxiliary verb in a noun clause (informal)
➔ In informal speech or song lyrics, the auxiliary verb "have" is often omitted in the present perfect tense, especially within noun clauses. The full grammatical form would be "what you have been through".
-
I know that it's hard to lose
➔ 'It + be + adjective + infinitive' construction
➔ This construction uses "it" as a dummy subject to introduce an assessment or opinion about an action described by the infinitive phrase. "To lose" is the actual subject of the sentence, made easier to process by placing "it" first.
-
I watched you grow up
➔ Verbs of perception + object + bare infinitive
➔ Verbs of perception (like 'watch', 'see', 'hear', 'feel') followed by an object can take a bare infinitive to describe a complete action that was observed. If the action was ongoing, a present participle (-ing form) would be used.
-
That was played with your heart in brain
➔ Passive voice in a relative clause
➔ The relative pronoun "That" refers to "the game", and the verb phrase "was played" is in the passive voice. This structure emphasizes the action being done to the subject (the game was played), rather than who did the playing.
-
As long as there's stars in the sky's know I got you
➔ Conditional conjunction 'as long as'
➔ The phrase "as long as" introduces a condition, meaning "provided that" or "only if". It sets a duration or a prerequisite for the main clause. The informal omission of 'you' before 'know' is also notable.
-
And when it's comes to your daughters, I got them too
➔ Idiomatic phrase 'when it comes to'
➔ The idiom "when it comes to" means "regarding" or "concerning" a particular topic. It introduces a specific area of discussion or consideration. Note the grammatical error 'it's' instead of 'it' (it comes to).
-
You was here when nobody ever showed up
➔ Subject-verb agreement (informal deviation)
➔ In standard English, the past tense of 'to be' for the second person singular/plural 'you' is 'were' (You were here). The use of "was" with 'you' is a common feature of some informal dialects or speech, particularly in African American Vernacular English (AAVE).
-
Miss when we was closer
➔ Ellipsis of subject and main verb ('I miss') + Noun clause (informal)
➔ This line demonstrates two informal grammatical features: the omission of the subject pronoun 'I' and the main verb 'miss', and the use of 'was' instead of 'were' with 'we' in the noun clause 'when we was closer'. The full grammatical sentence would be 'I miss when we were closer'.
-
Always been my best friend
➔ Ellipsis of subject and auxiliary verb (Present Perfect Simple)
➔ In informal contexts, especially in song lyrics, the subject ('You' or 'You have') and the auxiliary verb ('have') are often omitted, leaving just the past participle and the rest of the predicate. The full grammatical form would be 'You have always been my best friend'.
