Key Grammar Structures

• J'ai connu l'flop, maintenant j'connais que l'top

  ➔ Use of passé composé (J'ai connu) vs. present tense (j'connais)

  ➔ Shows a contrast between a past experience (failure) and the present situation (success). The "passé composé" describes a completed action in the past, while the present tense describes the current state.

• Fais pas le badman, allez fuck ton block

  ➔ Imperative mood (Fais pas) and vulgar slang (fuck)

  ➔ "Fais pas" is the negative imperative of "faire." "Fuck" is a vulgar interjection. The line is a direct and aggressive command.

• Elle danse sur moi et wine slow

  ➔ Simple present tense and use of slang/loanword 'wine'

  ➔ "Elle danse" is present tense, describing an ongoing action. "Wine" is likely used as a slang term or loanword referring to a type of dance, probably originating from Caribbean culture.

• Tuer le mari, sauver la mariée

  ➔ Infinitive used as a noun/theme (Tuer, sauver)

  ➔ Here, "tuer" (to kill) and "sauver" (to save) are used as nouns, creating a concise and impactful statement about the scenario.

• Disparition, pas de tombeau

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of verb)

  ➔ The verb is omitted for brevity and stylistic effect. It implies "There is a disappearance, [there is] no tomb."

• We nuh 'fraid to bomboclat

  ➔ Non-standard English (dialectal variation), use of loanword (bomboclat)

  ➔ "Nuh 'fraid" is a dialectal form of "not afraid". "Bomboclat" is a Jamaican Patois term, typically considered an insult or expletive.

• Que les zom, que les zom

  ➔ Repetition for emphasis

  ➔ The repetition of "Que les zom" (roughly translated as "just the guys" or "just the homies") emphasizes the focus on a specific group or community.

• C'est chaud là, elle veut ce monsieur-là

  ➔ Demonstrative adjective (ce) to emphasize specific person

  ➔ "Ce monsieur-là" uses the demonstrative adjective "ce" to specifically point out which man is being referred to, adding emphasis. The addition of "-là" further emphasizes the specificity.

• Faut qu'tu me laisses (faut qu'tu me laisses) Moi je t'aime pas (j'aime pas)

  ➔ Informal contraction ('Faut qu') and negative construction (je t'aime pas)

  ➔ "'Faut qu'" is a contracted, informal way of saying "il faut que," meaning "it is necessary that" or "you have to". "Je t'aime pas" is the negative form of "je t'aime," meaning "I don't love you." The omission of "ne" in "ne t'aime pas" is typical in colloquial French.
