Key Grammar Structures

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

  ➔ "Long as" + clause, a shortened version of "as long as"

  ➔ This line uses slang. "Long as" means "as long as". "Juggin" is slang for making money, often through illicit means. The sentence implies that as long as the person is providing financially, the speaker is supportive.

• How can I snooze and miss the moment

  ➔ Modal verb "can" expressing possibility/ability + infinitive without "to" (snooze)

  ➔ The modal verb "can" expresses the ability or possibility of snoozing (missing the moment). The structure "can + infinitive without to" is a fundamental part of English grammar.

• Nobody do body  like you do

  ➔ Use of "do" as an auxiliary verb for emphasis. The sentence structure is somewhat informal.

  ➔ The phrase "Nobody do body like you do" is grammatically unconventional but emphasizes how uniquely the person moves or carries themselves. The first "do" is an auxiliary verb added for emphasis.

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

  ➔ Conditional with strong consequence. I'd is a contraction of I would. Ellipsis at the end of the sentence.

  ➔ "I’d kill that bitch" shows a strong, hypothetical action if a certain (unspecified) condition were met. The ellipsis at the end suggests the sentence is unfinished, leaving the "I do what" open to interpretation.

• Let's take this argument back up to my place

  ➔ Imperative form "Let's" suggesting a shared action + prepositional phrase indicating direction (back up to)

  ➔ "Let's" proposes a joint action, and the prepositional phrase "back up to my place" indicates the direction of movement. This implies a shift in location to continue the argument, often with romantic undertones.

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

  ➔ Subject-verb agreement with the verb "remind". Use of apposition to define the speaker's role.

  ➔ "Sex remind you..." functions as the subject performing the action of reminding. "I’m non violent I’m your day one" is in apposition, further defining the speaker's character and importance to the person they're addressing.
