Key Grammar Structures
-
Come on, it’s gon be fuckin’ hard
➔ Informal contraction "gon be" for "going to be".
➔ This uses a very informal contraction common in spoken English. It's important to recognize but generally not advisable to use in formal writing.
-
No I’m not thinking ’bout no exes know they miss me
➔ Double negative ("not thinking 'bout no exes") used for emphasis. Omission of "that" in the relative clause "know they miss me".
➔ The double negative is grammatically incorrect in standard English but common in some dialects and informal speech. "Know they miss me" functions as a relative clause, where "that" is implied: "I know *that* they miss me".
-
I got the whole room spinning like it’s tipsy
➔ Use of "like" as a conjunction comparing the room's spinning to being tipsy. Use of "it's" (it is) instead of "it were" for subjunctive mood in informal context.
➔ While "as if" or "as though" are more grammatically correct conjunctions for this comparison, "like" is commonly used in informal speech. The subjunctive mood using "were" after "as if/though" is often replaced with the indicative "is" in casual conversation.
-
Whooooooo wanna rock with Jennie
➔ Informal contraction "wanna" for "want to".
➔ "Wanna" is a common contraction in spoken English, signaling an informal tone. It is generally avoided in formal writing.
-
Keep your hair done, nails done like Jennie
➔ Ellipsis: "Keep your hair done, (keep your) nails done". Use of "done" as a past participle acting as an adjective. Comparison using "like".
➔ The sentence implies "keep your hair done like Jennie, keep your nails done like Jennie". "Done" here means 'styled' or 'prepared' and modifies "hair" and "nails".
-
Cause they can never ever be Jennie
➔ Use of "cause" as an informal substitute for "because". Intensifier "ever" for emphasis.
➔ "Cause" is a shortened, colloquial version of "because". The word "ever" in "never ever" adds emphasis to the impossibility of becoming Jennie.
-
Tryna burst my bubble
➔ Informal contraction "Tryna" for "trying to".
➔ "Tryna" is a very informal contraction used in spoken language and song lyrics. It is typically avoided in formal writing.
