• Turn it up bright gal you never be dimming it

  ➔ Negative present continuous (never be + -ing) + phrasal verb "turn up"

  ➔ The phrase "you never be dimming it" uses the negative present continuous structure "never be + -ing" to express a habit that does not happen.

• Rotate your body cause me love how you spinning it

  ➔ Informal conjunction "cause" (= because) + present simple "love" + present participle without auxiliary "are"

• So me want get some and come trouble it

  ➔ "want + infinitive" (missing "to") + coordination with "and"

  ➔ "me want get" should be "I want to get" – the infinitive marker "to" is omitted, which is common in informal speech. The two actions "get some" and "come trouble it" are linked by "and".
