Grammar:

• If I took you home it'd be a home run

  ➔ Second Conditional

  ➔ Uses the structure "If + past simple, would/could/might + infinitive". "took" is the past simple form, and "it'd be" (it would be) uses 'would'. This expresses a hypothetical or unlikely situation in the present or future.

• Show me how you do

  ➔ Embedded Question (Indirect Question)

  ➔ The phrase "how you do" functions as a noun clause, answering the implicit question "How do you do it?". The word order changes from the direct question form.

• Glass to the roof, that's how we does it

  ➔ Subject-Verb Agreement (Non-Standard)

  ➔ The use of "does" with the subject "we" is grammatically incorrect in standard English. It's a feature of some dialects or a stylistic choice for emphasis or rhythm. Standard English would be "that's how we *do* it".

• Almost dared the right five

  ➔ Ellipsis and Ambiguity

  ➔ This line is ambiguous due to ellipsis (omission of words). It's unclear what "dared" refers to without context. A possible interpretation is that it's short for "almost dared to do the right high five."

• Take me so high

  ➔ Adverb of Degree + Adjective

  ➔ "So" is an adverb of degree, modifying the adjective "high". It intensifies the adjective, indicating a large degree of height.

• Party rocker, fa' sho' stopper

  ➔ Slang and Contractions

  ➔ "Fa' sho'" is a slang contraction of "for sure". This illustrates the informal language often used in popular music. The line uses informal language to convey a casual and energetic vibe.

• Can't see me with ten binoculars

  ➔ Modal Verb + Negation

  ➔ "Can't see" uses the modal verb "can" with the negation "not" (contracted to "-n't"). It indicates an impossibility or inability to see the speaker, even with powerful binoculars.

• Running with wolves, And I'm on the prowl

  ➔ Present Continuous and Simple Present

  ➔ "Running" is the present continuous, describing an action in progress. "I'm on the prowl" uses the simple present to describe a current state or condition.
