TRAP SOUL (Deluxe)
Lyrics:
[English]
- [Host] This is Michelle FM Hinix
and I'm with the Mix-up show and we have Bryson Tiller.
So you've been in town since what? Like, Monday-ish?
- [Bryson] Uh, I don't even remember, to be honest.
- [Host] I wanna know what inspires you?
You know, I'm sure you've grab
and pull from different places
But you're making your own. - Right.
- [Host] Type of genre.
Like, what made you be like, "I'm about to make music."
- [Bryson] Hmm. Um.

Grammar:
-
I wanna know what inspires you?
➔ Indirect Question
➔ The structure "I wanna know" introduces an embedded question. Instead of the direct question form "What inspires you?", it becomes "what inspires you" (subject + verb order).
-
All that I am is all that you see
➔ Relative Clauses with "what"
➔ Here, "all that I am" and "all that you see" are noun clauses acting as subjects and complements, respectively. "What" functions as both a relative pronoun and the object within the relative clause.
-
You don't need nobody else
➔ Double Negative (Non-standard)
➔ The sentence uses "don't need" and "nobody," creating a double negative. In standard English, it should be "You don't need anybody else" or "You need nobody else."
-
With you is where I belong
➔ Inverted sentence structure for emphasis
➔ Normally, the sentence would be "Where I belong is with you." The inversion emphasizes the location, "with you."
-
You've been down from the go
➔ Present Perfect Continuous with "from"
➔ "You've been down" indicates an action (being supportive, understanding) that started in the past ("from the go", meaning from the beginning) and continues until now. It emphasizes the duration of the action.
-
Girl I never meant to put you through it twice
➔ Past Simple with "never" + Infinitive Phrase
➔ The sentence expresses regret. "Never meant to" shows that the speaker had no intention to cause the other person suffering twice. "Meant to" is followed by an infinitive phrase.
-
Tell me how can I right my wrongs
➔ Embedded Question with Inversion
➔ This is an embedded question functioning as the object of "Tell me." However, unlike typical embedded questions, it maintains the question word order (auxiliary before subject) "can I" instead of the declarative order "I can". This is common in informal speech or songs for emphasis.
-
I've been feeling kinda down myself
➔ Present Perfect Continuous + "kinda" + Reflexive Pronoun
➔ "I've been feeling" indicates an ongoing feeling. "Kinda" is short for "kind of," indicating an approximation or degree. "Myself" emphasizes that the speaker is also experiencing these feelings independently.
