Grammar:

• I FEEL LIKE EVERY BODY STANDING AROUND ME WATCHING ME NOW

  ➔ Present Continuous as adjective + 'feel like' + clause

  ➔ 'Standing around me watching me now' is a present continuous phrase acting as an adjective to describe 'every body'. 'Feel like' expresses a sense or impression. It can be followed by a noun or a clause (a subject + verb + object structure).

• THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW I'M GONNA MOVE MY BODY WHEN THAT BEAT GOES

  ➔ Indirect question + Future with 'gonna'

  ➔ 'How I'm gonna move my body' is an indirect question within the sentence. 'Gonna' is a colloquial contraction of 'going to', used to express future intention or prediction.

• CAUSE SOMETHING COMES OVER ME WHEN THE BEAT GOES

  ➔ Simple Present + 'come over' (phrasal verb) + 'when' clause

  ➔ 'Comes over me' is a phrasal verb meaning to affect someone strongly or to experience a particular feeling. The 'when' clause indicates the time at which the feeling occurs.

• WELL I'M GONE RIP MY CLOTHES OFF

  ➔ Future tense with 'be gone' + bare infinitive

  ➔ 'I'm gone' is an informal and emphatic way of saying 'I'm going to'. It's followed by the bare infinitive 'rip' (without 'to').

• SINK OR SWIM OR YOU DROWN

  ➔ Imperative in idiom + 'or' (conjunction)

  ➔ 'Sink or swim' is an idiom meaning to fail or succeed. The 'or' presents alternatives. The third option, 'you drown', is a consequence of not choosing to swim. This is shortened for stylistic and rhythmic effect.

• BODY'S GETTING SUPER HOT FEES LIKE A HUNDRED DEGREE'S

  ➔ Present Continuous ('getting') + Simile ('like')

  ➔ 'Body's getting' uses the present continuous tense to describe a process of change. 'Like a hundred degree's' is a simile, comparing the body's heat to a very high temperature using 'like'. The apostrophe in 'degree's' might be a mistake; it probably means 'degrees'.

• I DON'T MIND IF YOU TAKE ME HOME COOL ME OFF IN THE SHOWER (SHOWER)

  ➔ 'Don't mind' + 'if' clause + imperative

  ➔ 'I don't mind' indicates a lack of objection. The 'if' clause introduces a condition. 'Cool me off' is an imperative, expressing a request or command. 'Cool off' is a phrasal verb, indicating a reduction in temperature or intensity.
