I'm german, and I'm learning english. So I've a question.

Why does he say "Like she don't sleep", shouldn't it be "Like she doesn't sleep"? :(

[LeopardGlobe]

@BloodyPunishment1 You are right, it should be "Like she doesn't sleep" But, in the US on the streets, people speak grammatically incorrect. And mostly black people, but not only black people will speak grammatically incorrect to be different from others. They will say, she do (instead of she does). So in this song, he sings the way that people talk on the streets. But you are 100% correct

@BloodyPunishment1 its slang/improper so it fits with the syllables/rythm

[BloodyPunishment1]

@LeopardGlobe Thank you!

Well this actually comes from African American Vernacular English as a spoken language.Standard English uses a conjugated be verb (called a copula) in a number of different sentences. (This may occur as is, 's, are, 're, etc.) In AAVE this verb is often not included. The frequency of inclusion has been shown to depend on a variety of factors. Before verbs with the -ing or -in ending(progressive):

I tell him to be quiet because he don't know what he __ talking about.

[narkissoss86]

no he's not singing now you are right but that doesn't matter cause he made these songs and he is cool that's enough to like! Also we are seeing him singing so many times in so many places and on tours so what if he is not singing now?
