Grammar:

• Make me sweat, make me hotter

  ➔ Imperative mood

  ➔ The verb "make" is used in the imperative mood to give a command or instruction. Here, the speaker is instructing someone to cause these sensations.

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

  ➔ Use of "can" for ability vs. present continuous for a temporary situation

  ➔ "can keep my cool" expresses the speaker's general ability. "I'm wildin'" uses the present continuous to describe the speaker's current, temporary state.

• In a dangerous mood, can you match my timing?

  ➔ Modal verb "can" in a question (ability/possibility)

  ➔ The question "can you match my timing?" uses "can" to inquire about someone's ability to synchronize or be in sync with the speaker's emotional state.

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

  ➔ Contraction of "about" to "'bout"; rhetorical question

  ➔ " 'bout it" is a colloquial shortening of "about it". The question "why try hide it?" is rhetorical; the speaker believes the person is already revealing their intentions.

• Talk is cheap, so show me

  ➔ Zero conditional (implication that action follows consequence)

  ➔ This line implies a conditional statement. "If talk is cheap, then show me". Though not explicitly stated, it establishes a relationship where action is valued over words.

• Can you blow my mind?

  ➔ Modal verb "can" in a question (ability to achieve)

  ➔ The question "Can you blow my mind?" uses "can" to ask if someone has the ability or capacity to amaze or overwhelm the speaker.

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

  ➔ Mixed conditional (present unreal result of a past action)

  ➔ This is a type 2-3 mixed conditional. "If I give you my time" (unlikely condition in the future) implies "can you snatch my soul from me" (present/future hypothetical consequence). It's a more intense conditional than just a simple future conditional.

• I don't wanna wait, come take it

  ➔ Informal contraction "wanna"; imperative mood (come)

  ➔ "Wanna" is the informal contraction of "want to". "Come" is used in the imperative mood to command or invite action.

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

  ➔ Double negative (non-standard), Modal verb "can" for permission.

  ➔ "Ain't gotta go nowhere" uses a double negative, which is common in informal speech but grammatically non-standard. It means "don't have to go anywhere". "Can stay inside it" uses "can" to grant permission.
