Gramática:

• That major that she majored in don't make no money

  ➔ 双重否定 (非标准)

  ➔ 使用 "don't" 和 "no" 构成了双重否定。在标准英语中，应该说 "doesn't make any money" 或者 "makes no money"。 这是非裔美国人白话英语 (AAVE) 的一个特点。

• Her parents'll look at her funny

  ➔ 缩写 + 形容词的副词用法

  ➔ "Parents'll" 是 "parents will" 的缩写。 "Funny" 用作修饰 "look" 的副词。 在标准英语中，更常见的是说 "look at her funnily"。

• Sophomore, three yurrs, ain't picked a carurr

  ➔ 非标准拼写，否定缩写和省略助动词

  ➔ "yurrs" 是 "years" 的非标准拼写，"ain't" 是否定缩写，意思是 "has not"，并且助动词 "has" 在开头被省略。 标准英语版本是 "Sophomore, three years, (she) hasn't picked a career."。

• We tryna buy back our 40 acres

  ➔ 缩写 ('tryna')

  ➔ "Tryna" 是 "trying to" 的缩写。 这在非正式讲话和歌曲歌词中很常见。

• Even if you in a Benz, you still a in a coupe

  ➔ 省略动词 "are"/"is" 和 "in" 之前的冠词 'a'

  ➔ 动词 "are" 或 "is" 在单词 "in" 之前被省略。 在标准英语中，应该是 "Even if you are in a Benz, you are still in a coupe"。

• That's why shorty's hollerin', "Where the ballers at"

  ➔ 非正式缩写和省略助动词

  ➔ "Shorty's" 是 "shorty is" 的缩写，这在非正式场合是可以接受的。 问题 "Where the ballers at?" 省略了助动词 "are"。 标准形式是 "Where are the ballers at?"。

• 'Cause it, I went to Jacob with twenty-five thou

  ➔ 缩写、非正式语言、省略连词

  ➔ "Cause" 是 "because" 的缩写。 该句子在没有连词 "because" 的情况下开始，并使用了非正式语言。 单词 "thou" 用作 thousand 的缩写。 标准英语可能是 "Because of it, I went to Jacob with twenty-five thousand."。
