Gramática:
-
Only if I had one love, one girl, and one crib
➔ Segundo Condicional
➔ Usa "if + passado simples, would/could/might + infinitivo". Expressa uma situação hipotética ou irreal no presente ou futuro. A cláusula "if I had" estabelece a hipótese.
-
One sip'll probably make me flip
➔ Contração + Probabilidade futura
➔ "Sip'll" é uma contração de "sip will", indicando um evento futuro. "Probably" expressa a probabilidade de que esse evento aconteça. "will + probably" implica quase certeza.
-
We've been all tricked, time to come out of it
➔ Passiva no Presente Perfeito
➔ "We've been tricked" é a forma passiva do presente perfeito. Enfatiza o resultado da ação (ser enganado) em vez de quem realizou a ação. A construção passiva é formada com "have/has + been + particípio passado".
-
Hope your funeral never get caught up
➔ Modo Subjuntivo (Suposição/Desejo)
➔ O uso de "get" após "never" implica um desejo ou esperança, expresso de uma forma um tanto informal. Embora não seja um exemplo perfeito do subjuntivo formal, transmite a mesma sensação de algo desejado, mas não garantido. A construção "hope + (that) + sujeito + verbo (na forma simples)" é comum.
-
Jealous cause fiends got they work and complain
➔ Causativa informal "cause"
➔ "Cause" é usado aqui informalmente como uma versão abreviada de "because", indicando uma razão ou causa para o ciúme. A gramática destaca os padrões de fala informais, onde as conjunções são abreviadas por brevidade.
-
Shoulda knew she wasn't true
➔ Contração de verbo modal + Particípio passado (Arrependimento/Crítica)
➔ "Shoulda knew" é uma contração de "should have known". Embora seja gramaticalmente incorreto ("known" deveria ser usado), é um coloquialismo comum que expressa arrependimento ou crítica sobre uma ação passada. "Should have + particípio passado" indica que algo diferente deveria ter sido feito no passado.
