Key Grammar Structures
-
It's hard just to pick one
➔ Infinitive as subject/complement
➔ The structure 'It is + adjective + to-infinitive' is used here to describe the difficulty of the action 'to pick'.
-
But if I got to, but if I got to
➔ Ellipsis in conditional clauses
➔ The speaker omits the verb phrase (pick one) after 'got to', which is common in informal spoken English.
-
Once I pay you for the pussy, baby, you can leave
➔ Conjunctions of time (Once)
➔ 'Once' functions as a conjunction meaning 'as soon as' or 'after the time that'.
-
Used to suck dick for free 'til she met a nigga payin'
➔ Used to (Past habit)
➔ 'Used to' describes a state or habit that was true in the past but is no longer true.
-
I know I said five, but I got three bands
➔ Past simple vs Present perfect/simple contrast
➔ The speaker contrasts a past action ('said') with their current situation ('got').
-
If you ain't got an M yet, nigga, you a kid
➔ Conditional sentences (Type 1 - implied)
➔ This is a first conditional structure expressing a real possibility: 'If you do not have (ain't got) an M, you are a kid.'
-
Soon as I think I like a nigga, here his friend come
➔ Inversion after adverbial phrase
➔ The placement of 'here' at the beginning triggers the subject-verb order 'his friend come' (the friend arrives).
-
Baby, my real hair longer than my wig
➔ Comparative adjectives (Ellipsis of verb)
➔ The verb 'is' is omitted after 'hair'. The full sentence would be 'my real hair is longer than my wig is'.
