Key Grammar Structures

• Shawty know she fuckin' with the best

  ➔ present simple (subject‑verb agreement in informal speech)

  ➔ The verb **know** is used without the third‑person‑singular –s, which is common in slang: "Shawty **know** ...".

• I got plenty tattoos on my flesh

  ➔ present simple of 'have' meaning possession (have got)

  ➔ "**got**" here functions like "have": "I **got** plenty tattoos..." = "I **have** plenty tattoos..."

• She gon' blow this whistle like a ref

  ➔ future intention with colloquial "gon'" (= going to)

  ➔ The contraction **gon'** stands for **going to** and expresses a planned action: "She **gon'** blow..."

• I'm so entertainin'

  ➔ present continuous (progressive) with informal dropping of -ing

  ➔ The verb **entertainin'** is the progressive form of "entertain" with the final **g** dropped, a common slang style: "I'm so **entertainin'**".

• I keep racks on me, no, I ain't stressed

  ➔ informal negative contraction "ain't" + present simple

  ➔ The speaker uses the non‑standard negative **ain't** instead of "am not" or "is not": "I **ain't** stressed".

• Treat Monday like a Friday

  ➔ comparative structure with "like" + noun

  ➔ The verb **Treat** is followed by a noun phrase and the comparative particle **like**: "Treat Monday **like** a Friday".

• Yesterday, the Bentley truck, today, the Lamb'

  ➔ temporal contrast using "Yesterday... today..."

  ➔ Two time adverbials are placed side by side to show change: **Yesterday**, … **today**, …

• If we talkin' racks, you know I get that on the daily

  ➔ first‑conditional clause with present simple + informal present participle

  ➔ The **if**‑clause uses the present simple **talkin'** (informal for "talking"): "If we **talkin'** racks..."
