➔ Present Perfect Negative (Duration)

-
Why you posting those pics, pics?

Hope my song come on the radio
➔ Subjunctive Mood / Informal Base Verb

I done blocked you off of everything
➔ Colloquial 'done' as Auxiliary (Past Participle)

But you made me feel so disgusting, so ick
➔ Causative Verb 'make' + Object + Base Verb + Adjective
