    @Noelv1976 and @_incogNEATo_ Lol, you guys are too funny.

    Frankly, it does not bother me when there's bad grammar in songs. I understand that sometimes, certain words or way sentences are written helps with rhyming better. Bad grammar in conversations does bother me at times but I don't make a big deal about it.

    The bad grammar doesn't bother me so much as when they "rhyme" a word with the exact same word. It's like, out of all the words in the English language and you couldn't find one other word and make it work somehow?!

    When spoken as per AAVE its fine, if its very articulated and/or intentionally done to bring in certain audiences its vexing as all get-out
