Gramática:
-
Only if I had one love, one girl, and one crib
➔ Segundo Condicional
➔ Usa "if + pasado simple, would/could/might + infinitivo". Expresa una situación hipotética o irreal en el presente o futuro. La cláusula "if I had" establece la hipótesis.
-
One sip'll probably make me flip
➔ Contracción + Probabilidad futura
➔ "Sip'll" es una contracción de "sip will", que indica un evento futuro. "Probably" expresa la probabilidad de que ese evento suceda. "will + probably" implica casi certeza.
-
We've been all tricked, time to come out of it
➔ Pasiva en Presente Perfecto
➔ "We've been tricked" es la forma pasiva del presente perfecto. Enfatiza el resultado de la acción (ser engañado) en lugar de quién realizó la acción. La construcción pasiva se forma con "have/has + been + participio pasado".
-
Hope your funeral never get caught up
➔ Modo Subjuntivo (Suposición/Deseo)
➔ El uso de "get" después de "never" implica un deseo o esperanza, expresado de una manera algo informal. Aunque no es un ejemplo perfecto del subjuntivo formal, transmite la misma sensación de algo deseado pero no garantizado. La construcción "hope + (that) + sujeto + verbo (en forma simple)" es común.
-
Jealous cause fiends got they work and complain
➔ Causativa informal "cause"
➔ "Cause" se usa aquí informalmente como una versión abreviada de "because", que indica una razón o causa de los celos. La gramática destaca los patrones del habla informal, donde las conjunciones se abrevian por brevedad.
-
Shoulda knew she wasn't true
➔ Contracción de verbo modal + Participio pasado (Arrepentimiento/Crítica)
➔ "Shoulda knew" es una contracción de "should have known". Si bien es gramaticalmente incorrecto ("known" debería usarse), es un coloquialismo común que expresa arrepentimiento o crítica sobre una acción pasada. "Should have + participio pasado" indica que algo diferente debería haberse hecho en el pasado.
