Key Grammar Structures
-
She **be throwin'** ass in a Sprinter
➔ AAVE Habitual 'be'
➔ The use of "be" indicates a recurring or habitual action, typical in African American Vernacular English (AAVE), rather than a one-time event or continuous action in standard English. Here, "be throwin'" means she regularly throws.
-
I **been doin'** bad, I'm a sinner
➔ Informal Present Perfect Continuous (shortened)
➔ "Been doin'" is an informal, shortened form of "I have been doing," indicating an action that started in the past and continues up to the present.

➔ Omission of third-person singular '-s' (AAVE)

Y'all niggas **finna make** me
➔ Colloquial 'finna' (fixing to / going to)

-
Y'all **gettin' spinned** a lot
➔ Informal passive voice ('getting' construction)
➔ This uses the informal passive construction "getting + past participle" ("gettin' spinned") instead of the more formal "being + past participle" or "are + past participle." It emphasizes the process or experience of the action.

-
I thought we **was** on a break
➔ Non-standard 'was' for 'were' (informal/AAVE)
➔ In standard English, the past tense of "to be" for the plural subject "we" is "were." The use of "was" ("we was") is a common non-standard grammatical feature, particularly in informal speech and African American Vernacular English (AAVE).
-
I'm so **straight on** y'all fuck niggas, I don't even bend the top of my shoes

-
I'm at the bag, you **goin' out sad**
➔ Idiomatic phrase 'goin' out sad'
