Grammar:

• Make me sweat, make me hotter

  ➔ Imperative mood

  ➔ The verb "make" is used in the imperative to give a command or instruction. It is followed by a noun/pronoun (me) and an adjective (sweat/hotter).

• Normally I can keep my cool, but tonight I'm wildin'

  ➔ Use of "can" for ability; Use of "but" as a conjunction

  ➔ "Can" expresses the ability to "keep my cool". "But" contrasts this normal behavior with the speaker's actions tonight.

• I'ma be, yeah. In a dangerous mood, can you match my timing?

  ➔ Use of "I'ma" (I am going to); Question Formation with "can"

  ➔ "I'ma" is a contraction of "I am going to", expressing a future intention. The question asks about the other person's ability to match the speaker's mood.

• That you really 'bout it, why try hide it? Oh

  ➔ Informal contraction 'bout (about); Rhetorical question using 'why'

  ➔ 'bout' is a slang contraction of 'about'. The question 'why try hide it?' is rhetorical, implying the person should not try to hide their true feelings or intentions.

• Talk is cheap, so show me

  ➔ Use of proverb "Talk is cheap"; Use of "so" as a conjunction

  ➔ This line uses the proverb "talk is cheap" to mean words are not as valuable as actions. "So" connects this idea with the command to "show me".

• That you understand how I like it

  ➔ Relative clause with "how"

  ➔ "How I like it" is a relative clause that modifies "understand". It describes the manner or way in which the speaker prefers something.

• If I give you my time, can you snatch my soul from me?

  ➔ Conditional clause (If + present simple, can + infinitive); Use of "can" for possibility

  ➔ This is a type 1 conditional, expressing a real possibility. "Can" expresses the ability or possibility of "snatching my soul".

• You ain't gotta go nowhere, you can stay inside it

  ➔ Double negative (Ain't gotta); Use of "can" for permission or ability

  ➔ "Ain't gotta" is a colloquial contraction for "do not have to", creating a double negative, although in this context, it functions as a single negation. "Can stay" indicates permission or ability to remain.
