Grammar:

• It's whatever we had to do, it's just who I am

  ➔ Relative Clause with 'whatever'

  ➔ The use of "whatever" introduces a relative clause referring to any action or thing that was necessary. 'Whatever we had to do' means 'anything that we had to do'.

• You can catch me kissin' my girl with both eye' closed

  ➔ Gerund after verbs of perception (catch + object + gerund)

  ➔ Here, "kissin'" is a gerund used after the verb "catch", indicating an action in progress that is being observed. The structure is "catch" + object + gerund.

• I only fear never tryin'

  ➔ Gerund as object of a verb (fear + gerund)

  ➔ "Tryin'" is a gerund and acts as the direct object of the verb "fear". Verbs like "fear" can often be followed by a gerund to express an action.

• Even if I got three strikes, I'ma go for it

  ➔ Conditional Clause Type 1 (Mixed)

  ➔ This uses a conditional clause. While not a perfect example, "Even if I got three strikes" establishes a condition, and "I'ma go for it" suggests the consequence. It's not pure Type 1, as 'got' implies a hypothetical situation, but the 'will go' consequence makes it leaning towards Type 1.

• And the same ones that I ride with, be the same ones that I die with

  ➔ Parallel Structure with Relative Clauses

  ➔ This sentence demonstrates parallel structure by repeating the phrase "the same ones that I" and using the prepositions "with" at the end of both clauses. It emphasizes the strong bond with the people they ride with, indicating they are willing to die for each other.

• Been down since day one, look at where we came from

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous (shortened) & Imperative

  ➔ "Been down since day one" is a shortened form of "We have been down since day one", showing an action that started in the past and continues to the present. "Look at where we came from" is an imperative sentence, directing someone to observe their origins.

• Jumpin' out on anybody who tryin' to say somethin'

  ➔ Reduced Relative Clause & Non-standard Grammar

  ➔ This sentence contains both a reduced relative clause and non-standard grammar. "who tryin' to say somethin'" is a reduced relative clause (instead of 'who is trying'). The contraction "tryin'" is non-standard but common in colloquial speech and rap lyrics.
