Key Grammar Structures
-
Do you think about me?
➔ Present simple interrogative (auxiliary‑subject inversion)
➔ The auxiliary verb "do" is placed before the subject "you" to form a question: "Do you think..."
-
I think you're super softcore, but I be dressing tough
➔ Contraction (you are) + present continuous (be dressing) for emphasis
➔ The word "you're" is a contraction of "you are". The phrase "be dressing" uses the present continuous to give a stronger, almost slang‑like emphasis.
-
I wish I didn't think about it when you rip me off
➔ Wish + past simple (unreal present) + when‑clause with present simple
➔ "didn't think" is the past simple used after *wish* to talk about something that is not true now.
-
I think about money, drugs, chains on my chest
➔ Present simple with a list of nouns; prepositional phrase "on my chest"
➔ The phrase "on my chest" uses the preposition "on" to indicate location: "chains **on** my chest".
-
I think I get low bill, but I'm the fucking main event
➔ Present simple with verb "get" (receive) + contraction "I'm" (I am)
➔ The verb "get" means "receive" here. "I'm" is the contraction of "I am".
-
If kids are bumping my shit, that's a recession indicator
➔ First conditional with "if" + present continuous; result clause with contraction "that's"
➔ "are bumping" is the present continuous (action happening now). "that's" contracts "that is".
-
I got my eyes on the trophy
➔ Past simple "got" used for possession (have got); idiomatic expression "have my eyes on"
➔ "got" here means "have". The idiom "have my eyes on" means to be watching or aiming for something: "I **got** my eyes on the trophy".
-
I think these bitches write me off, but they don't even know me
➔ Present simple negative with "don't" + adverb "even" for emphasis
➔ "don't" is the negative form of "do" in the present simple. Adding "even" ("they **don't even** know me") intensifies the denial.
-
Do you think you'd win in a fight if you saw me out on the street?
➔ Second conditional: "you'd" (you would) + past simple "win"; if‑clause with past simple "saw"
➔ "you'd" contracts "you would". This structure talks about an unreal or imagined situation: "you **would** win" if you "saw" me.
