Key Grammar Structures
- 
                    
Let me talk my shit
➔ Causative verb "let" + bare infinitive
➔ The verb "let" is used to grant permission or allow someone to do something. It is followed by the object (e.g., "me") and then the "bare infinitive" (the base form of the verb without "to", e.g., "talk"). So, "Let me talk" means "Allow me to talk".
 - 
                    
he did kill your bitch-ass brother
➔ Emphatic "do/did" + base verb
➔ The auxiliary verb "did" (past tense of "do") is used before the main verb ("kill") to add emphasis to a statement, often to contradict a previous assumption or confirm something strongly. It makes the assertion more forceful.
 - 
                    
Got hit 20 times, autopsy like Duck
➔ Passive voice with "get" + past participle
➔ This is an informal way to form the passive voice, indicating that the subject experienced an action. "Got hit" means "was hit." The "get" passive is common in spoken English, especially to describe something happening to someone (often negative).
 - 
                    
If this shit was a race, they stuck in the same place
➔ Second Conditional (Hypothetical Situation)
➔ The "Second Conditional" describes an unreal or hypothetical situation in the present or future. It typically uses "If + past simple" (here, "If this shit was a race," though formally "were" is preferred for "be" in this context) and "would + base verb" in the main clause (implied here: "they *would be* stuck"). "Stuck" acts as a past participle/adjective describing their state.
 - 
                    
Had to buy a PT, finna drop a eight with Tae
➔ "Had to" (Past Necessity/Obligation)
➔ "Had to" is the past tense form of "have to," expressing a past obligation or necessity. It indicates that the speaker was required or compelled to do something.
 - 
                    
Took his shit to Paris and got it appraised
➔ Causative Passive ("get something done")
➔ This structure, "get + object + past participle" ("got it appraised"), is used to say that someone arranged for another person to do something for them. It means the speaker didn't do the appraising themselves but had it done.
 - 
                    
You can't hop in my car if you ain't never bust a brain
➔ Informal Double Negative (e.g., "ain't never")
➔ In standard English, two negatives cancel each other out to make a positive. However, in informal or dialectal English (like AAVE), "ain't never" is often used for emphasis to mean "never" or "have not ever." It powerfully reinforces the negative meaning.
 - 
                    
Show me you love me and show me you fuck me and show me you solid if shit get ugly
➔ Imperative + Noun Clause
➔ The sentence starts with an "imperative" verb ("Show me"), which is a command or request. This is followed by a "noun clause" (e.g., "you love me," "you solid") that functions as the direct object of the verb "show," specifying what the person should show.
 - 
                    
Wanna take you in an alley and put a baby in your stomach
➔ "Wanna" (Informal Reduction of "Want to" + Infinitive)
➔ "Wanna" is a common informal reduction of "want to." It is followed by a "bare infinitive" (the base form of the verb without "to," e.g., "take"). This structure indicates desire or intention.
 - 
                    
Until she nut, I ain't gon' stop fuckin'
➔ "Stop + Gerund" and Time Clause with "Until"
➔ "Stop" followed by a "gerund" (the -ing form of a verb used as a noun, e.g., "fuckin'") means to cease an activity. The clause "Until she nut" is a "time clause," indicating the point at which the action will stop or continue up to.
