Grammar:

• Don't know where you're at

  ➔ Ellipsis/Omission of 'I'

  ➔ The subject pronoun "I" is omitted for a more conversational and informal tone. The complete sentence would be "I don't know where you're at."

• Don't know nothin' 'bout that boy you're into

  ➔ Double Negative / Relative Clause

  ➔ The phrase "don't know nothin'" is a double negative (grammatically incorrect but common in colloquial speech). "that boy you're into" is a relative clause where "that" (or 'whom') is omitted: "that boy (whom) you're into".

• And all the hell you're gonna be puttin' him through

  ➔ Future Continuous (informal)

  ➔ "you're gonna be puttin' him through" is an informal way of saying "you are going to be putting him through" using "gonna" (going to). It expresses a future action in progress.

• Probably tell him we're a burnt out flame

  ➔ Simple Present with Future Implication / Ellipsis of 'will'

  ➔ The speaker uses the simple present "tell" to express a future action that is very likely. The full sentence could be "(She'll) probably tell him...". Omission of "will" is also common in informal speech. "burnt out" is a phrasal adjective modifying "flame".

• When you're tastin' what he's drinkin', are you thinkin' 'bout me?

  ➔ Present Continuous / Preposition 'bout'

  ➔ "you're tastin'" and "are you thinkin'" are in the present continuous tense, indicating an action happening at or around the time of speaking. "'bout" is a shortened, informal version of "about."

• Wish that truck in your drive was mine, just like you know it's supposed to be

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Wish Clause) / Passive Voice

  ➔ "Wish that truck...was mine" uses the subjunctive mood to express a desire that is contrary to fact. "it's supposed to be" is an example of the passive voice (although without a stated agent). It means "it is supposed to be mine".

• Did you change my name?

  ➔ Simple Past Tense (Interrogative)

  ➔ This is a question in the simple past tense asking about a completed action in the past. The auxiliary verb "Did" is used to form the question.

• Girl, I know where you oughta be

  ➔ Modal verb 'ought to' / Informal Contraction

  ➔ "Ought to" is a modal verb expressing obligation or advisability. "Oughta" is a colloquial contraction of "ought to". This line also uses informal syntax, and would properly be "Girl, I know where you ought to be".
