Grammar:

• I’ll touch that fire for you

  ➔ Future Simple with 'will'

  ➔ 'I'll' is a contraction of 'I will'. It expresses a future action, here offering to touch the fire. In this context, it shows the speaker's willingness or promise.

• I told that lie I’d kill that bitch, I do what

  ➔ Conditional Sentence Type 2 (mixed) / Past Simple and 'would'

  ➔ Although not explicit, it implies an unreal situation. 'I’d' is a contraction of 'I would', showing a hypothetical action in the past which influences present actions. The full hypothetical could be: If I had to, I would kill that bitch.

• Long as you juggin out here for me I got it

  ➔ Subordinating conjunction 'as long as'

  ➔ 'As long as' introduces a condition. The speaker is saying they will support the other person, but only under the condition that the other person is 'juggin' out here for them.

• ain't no problem

  ➔ Double Negative (Non-standard)

  ➔ 'Ain't' is a non-standard contraction for 'is not' or 'are not' or 'am not' or 'has not' or 'have not'. 'Ain't no problem' essentially means 'there is no problem'. Double negatives are often used in informal speech and certain dialects.

• How can I snooze and miss the moment?

  ➔ Modal verb 'can' for ability/possibility in a question.

  ➔ 'Can' is used here to express the speaker's questioning their own potential for missing an important moment. It implies a concern about the possibility of missing something crucial.

• Nobody do body like you do

  ➔ Use of 'do' for emphasis (emphatic do)

  ➔ The second 'do' is used for emphasis. While grammatically possibly redundant, it adds a layer of intensity to the statement, highlighting the uniqueness of the other person's physical presence or behavior.

• You just too important

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of 'are')

  ➔ The word 'are' is omitted in informal speech. The complete sentence would be 'You are just too important.' This is a common feature of colloquial language.

• Sex remind you I’m non violent I’m your day one

  ➔ Subject-verb agreement with a shortened clause.

  ➔ The implied subject of “remind” is “I”, thus the verb is used in its base form (“remind”), as the complete clause would be: 'Sex remind you *that* I'm non-violent'. The 'that' is omitted, so the subject remains 'I'. Also note the use of simple present to describe ongoing state, and 'your' as a possessive adjective before 'day one'.
