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 don't even remember, to be honest.
➔ Adverbial phrase of manner: "to be honest"
➔ The phrase "to be honest" modifies the entire sentence, indicating the speaker's sincerity or candor.
-
Could it be you calling me down?
➔ Inversion in questions: "Could it be...?"
➔ The auxiliary verb "could" is placed before the subject "it" to form a question, expressing possibility or uncertainty.
-
All that I am is all that you see.
➔ Cleft sentence using "all that"
➔ This type of cleft sentence emphasizes a particular element. Here, it emphasizes the totality of the speaker's being as perceived by the other person. "All that I am" is the focused element.
-
You don't need nobody else.
➔ Double negative (non-standard English)
➔ The use of "don't need" and "nobody" creates a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect in standard English. It is used here for emphasis and stylistic effect.
-
With you is where I belong.
➔ Inverted sentence structure for emphasis (Cleft-like sentence)
➔ Normally, the sentence would be "Where I belong is with you." By inverting the sentence, the speaker emphasizes the phrase "with you," highlighting the importance of their connection.
-
Girl I never meant to put you through it twice.
➔ Past perfect implied, ellipsis
➔ The sentence implies a past action that has already happened: "I never meant to put you through it [before], twice." The use of 'twice' suggests it happened at least once before. The auxiliary verb 'have' of the past perfect is omitted.
-
That's something that I should know.
➔ Relative clause with "that" as a relative pronoun
➔ The relative clause "that I should know" modifies the noun "something." The relative pronoun "that" connects the clause to the main clause and acts as the object of the verb "know."
