Key Grammar Structures

• Ain't nobody triller than me

  ➔ Negative contraction "ain't" + comparative structure

  ➔ The word "Ain't" replaces "is not"/"are not" and the phrase "than me" forms a comparative meaning "no one is more triller than I am".

• Only-only-only real-real keep you float

  ➔ Imperative + bare infinitive verb

  ➔ The phrase "keep you float" uses the imperative verb "keep" followed directly by the object "you" and the bare infinitive "float" (instead of "floating").

• We made a hobby of it

  ➔ Simple past tense + idiomatic expression "make a hobby of"

  ➔ "made" is the simple past of "make". The idiom "make a hobby of" means to treat something as a regular pastime.

• I run the check up, I'm a hot -, don't turn my accountant on me

  ➔ Present simple + negative imperative "don't turn"

  ➔ "run" and "am" are present‑simple verbs describing habitual actions. The phrase "don't turn" is a negative imperative telling someone not to do something.

• I was born with a mean mug

  ➔ Passive voice in the simple past "was born"

  ➔ "was born" is the passive form of "bear" meaning "to be given birth to"; the subject "I" receives the action.

• One time for the trill - that'll let me touch it

  ➔ Future‑like construction with "that’ll" + infinitive "let"

  ➔ "that’ll" is a contraction of "that will"; it introduces a clause where "let" (a causative verb) is followed by the infinitive "me touch it".

• If she bad as hell, I'll pay the babysitter

  ➔ First conditional (if + present simple, will + base verb)

  ➔ "If" introduces a possible condition in the present (“she bad as hell”). The main clause uses "will" + base verb to express a future result: "I'll pay the babysitter".

• I've been on, on, on

  ➔ Present perfect continuous "have been" + present participle

  ➔ "I've been" is the contraction of "I have been". It is followed by the present participle "on" (used here as slang to mean "high"), indicating an action that started in the past and continues now.
