Key Grammar Structures

• Make everybody see your body

  ➔ Causative Verb "Make"

  ➔ The verb "make" is used here to indicate that someone or something causes another action to happen. The structure is "make + object + base form of verb". In this line, "make" causes "everybody" to "see your body".

• When yuh favorite song drop

  ➔ Subordinate Clause of Time

  ➔ This is a subordinate clause introduced by the conjunction "when", indicating the time at which the main action occurs. It sets the condition or timing for the main clause (e.g., "Bruck out" - 'break out' or dance wildly). The verb "drop" is in the simple present tense, referring to a future event or a general condition.

• Yuh pussy gooder dan goldmine

  ➔ Comparative Adjective (Non-standard form)

  ➔ The word "gooder" is a non-standard or colloquial comparative form of "good" (the standard form is "better"). It is used here to compare "yuh pussy" (your [vagina]) to a "goldmine", implying superiority. The common structure is "adjective + -er + than" or "more + adjective + than".

• Gal yuh know yuh a di man sunshine

  ➔ Copular Verb (Patois "a" / Zero Copula)

  ➔ In Jamaican Patois, the word "a" (or sometimes a zero copula, meaning no verb at all) often replaces the standard English copular verbs "is", "am", "are". Here, "yuh a di man sunshine" means "you are the man's sunshine". This demonstrates a grammatical feature distinct from Standard English.

• Yuh body fit like Shelly Olympic time

  ➔ Simile

  ➔ A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two different things, usually by using the words "like" or "as". In this line, "yuh body fit" (your body is fit) is compared to "Shelly Olympic time" (referring to the fitness/speed of an Olympic athlete like Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce), emphasizing the excellent condition of the body.

• Me haffi wire dat

  ➔ Modal Verb "Haffi" (Have to)

  ➔ "Haffi" is a common colloquialism in Jamaican Patois (and some other Caribbean English dialects) that functions as a modal verb, meaning "have to" or "must". It expresses obligation or necessity. So, "Me haffi wire dat" means "I have to deal with/handle that."

• Girl I can see it pon your face

  ➔ Modal Verb "Can"

  ➔ The modal verb "can" is used here to express ability or possibility. "I can see it" means "I am able to see it" or "it is possible for me to see it". Modal verbs precede the main verb (see) and do not change form for different subjects.

• Me would ah bring it up a me yard and lock it weh

  ➔ Conditional (Patois "Would ah")

  ➔ "Would ah" is a Patois form that often functions like the conditional "would" in Standard English. It expresses a hypothetical action or intention. "Me would ah bring it" means "I would bring it" (if certain conditions were met or if given the chance).

• You see dah body day

  ➔ Demonstrative Adjective/Pronoun "Dah"

  ➔ "Dah" is a demonstrative in Jamaican Patois, equivalent to "that" in Standard English. It is used to point out a specific noun (like "body") or to refer to something previously mentioned or understood. In this context, "dah body day" means "that body there".

• Walk out and doop and wine

  ➔ Imperative Verbs

  ➔ "Walk out", "doop", and "wine" are all verbs used in the imperative mood. They are direct commands or instructions, telling the listener to perform these actions. The subject "you" is implied. This structure is common for giving instructions or making requests.
