Key Grammar Structures

• She wanna blow me up

  ➔ Colloquial contraction “wanna” = want to + infinitive

  ➔ She "wanna" blow me up → “wanna” is informal for “want to”.

• Not gon' lie, yeah, that bitch is my crush

  ➔ Negative contraction “gon'” = going to (future intent) + infinitive

  ➔ "Not "gon'" lie" → “gon'” is a slang contraction of “going to”.

• If I ain't makin' this heat, then lil' nigga, I'm makin' designs

  ➔ First‑conditional structure with “if” + present simple; negative “ain’t” = am not

  ➔ "If I "ain't" makin' this heat" → “ain't” replaces “am not” in informal speech.

• She like, "Baby, I like your personality, let me ask, what's your sign?"

  ➔ Imperative “let me + verb” for request; embedded question “what's your sign?”

  ➔ "let me ask" → an informal way to say “allow me to ask”.

• She wanna party, party off molly

  ➔ Verb + noun phrase “party off molly” (slang for partying while using MDMA)

  ➔ "party off molly" → “off” functions like “on” meaning “while using”.

• I'm throwin' them ones, she don't give a fuck

  ➔ Present continuous “I'm throwin'” vs. simple present “she don't give” (colloquial negative with “don't” for third person)

  ➔ "she "don't" give a fuck" → colloquial use of “don't” instead of “doesn't”.

• I might pull up to the scene with a different chick

  ➔ Modal verb “might” expressing possibility; infinitive “pull up” (phrasal verb)

  ➔ "I "might" pull up" → “might” shows a not‑certain future action.

• Maybe that's the reason I am so friend-less

  ➔ Contraction “that's” = that is; intensifier “so” before adjective

  ➔ "that's" → short for “that is”. "so friend-less" → “so” intensifies the adjective.

• She turned to that bitch when she met me

  ➔ Past simple “turned” and “met”; temporal clause introduced by “when”

  ➔ "when she met me" → a subordinate clause indicating the time of the main action.
