• I USED TO BE JUST LIKE YOU KID,

  ➔ Past habit or state using 'used to'

  ➔ The phrase 'used to' indicates a past habit or situation that is no longer true. Structure: subject + 'used to' + base verb.

• THE ONES THAT HATE ME THE MOST LOOK JUST LIKE ME

  ➔ Relative clause with 'that' as a relative pronoun

  ➔ Here a restrictive relative clause 'that hate me' modifies 'the ones'.

• YOU TELL ME WHAT THAT MEANS

  ➔ What- clause as direct object of 'tells me'

  ➔ The word 'what' introduces a content clause meaning 'the meaning of that'.

• MAKE A SLICK COMMENT AND SEE WHAT THAT BRINGS

  ➔ What-clause after 'see' as object; gerundive coordination

  ➔ The clause 'what that brings' is a noun clause functioning as the object of 'see'.

• I SEEN IT GO DOWN, WE CAN REENACT THINGS

  ➔ Nonstandard past tense 'seen' vs 'saw'; 'go down' as a phrasal verb

  ➔ Dialectal/vocal style uses 'seen' as past tense instead of 'saw'; 'go down' is a phrasal verb meaning 'occur' or 'unfold'.

• I BEEN TRYNA POP, NOW I'M ON LIKE SHUMPERT

  ➔ Present perfect continuous 'been' + 'trying to' (colloquial 'tryna'); 'I'm on' meaning 'I'm succeeding' or 'I'm getting into it'

  ➔ The sequence 'been trying to' uses the present perfect continuous for ongoing action; 'I'm on' is a colloquial way to say you are succeeding or getting into a phase.

• I GOT A FEW MORE I CALL MY BROTHERS

  ➔ Informal possession 'I got' for 'I have'; relative clause 'I call my brothers'

  ➔ 'I got' is an informal form of 'I have'; the clause 'I call my brothers' is a reduced relative clause modifying 'a few more'.

• I GOT A LOT OF FLOWS AND THEY ALL LIKE BUTTER

  ➔ Simile using 'like' to compare 'flows' to butter

  ➔ The word 'like' introduces a simile; 'they all like butter' means their flows are smooth or excellent.

• MY PEERS AIN'T POPPIN', THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOIN' WRONG

  ➔ Contractions 'ain't' and 'what's goin' on' with g-dropping
