• Damn, she got some nerve, when she kicked me to the curb

  ➔ Past Simple Tense, Idiomatic Expression

  ➔ "She got some nerve" is an idiomatic expression meaning she is audacious or disrespectful. "Kicked me to the curb" is another idiom meaning she rejected or abandoned him. "Kicked" is also in Past Simple.

• Guess you can say I got what I deserve

  ➔ Modal Verb (can), Relative Clause with 'what'

  ➔ "Can say" uses the modal verb "can" to express possibility or permission. "What I deserve" is a relative clause acting as the object of the verb "got." 'What' functions as a relative pronoun representing the thing he deserves.

• She said, "Don't come home if you go to the bar"

  ➔ Imperative Mood, Conditional Sentence (Type 1)

  ➔ "Don't come home" is in the imperative mood, expressing a command or prohibition. "If you go to the bar" is the conditional clause (Type 1), expressing a likely condition and its result.

• 2 a.m. I knock-knock, knocked up on the door

  ➔ Repetition for Emphasis, Phrasal Verb

  ➔ The repetition of "knock-knock" emphasizes the act of knocking. "Knocked up on" is a phrasal verb; in this informal context, it likely means to knock loudly or persistently.

• But she never unlock-locked it, guess I don't live there no more

  ➔ Negative Concord (Non-Standard), Contraction, Past Simple

  ➔ "Don't live there no more" uses negative concord (double negative), which is non-standard English. Standard English would be "don't live there anymore" or "live there no more". "Don't" is a contraction of "do not." "Unlock-locked" is a creative way to emphasize that the door remained locked.

• That fuckin' bird's about to catch this 45

  ➔ Informal Language, Contraction, Future with 'about to'

  ➔ "Fuckin'" is an informal intensifier. "Bird's" is a contraction of "bird is." "About to catch" indicates an immediate future action, meaning the speaker is very close to shooting at the bird with his .45 caliber pistol. The full meaning is a threat to shoot the bird if it doesn't stop singing.
