Eight deep.

[Verse 1 - laid-back flow]

Collective noun's a squad — team, crowd, class, band, same.
Abstract noun, you can't touch it — courage, freedom, plan,
Pronoun sub in when the noun need a hand.
Reflexive bounce it back — myself, themselves, of course,
Relative link a clause — "the kid who changed the course."
Indefinite, no name, you can't point in the crowd:
Someone, each, few, nobody — say it out loud.

[Hook - chant, gang vocals]
Eight deep (eight deep!) — every word got a job,
Noun hold the name, verb pull up and go hard,
Adjective paint it, adverb tell you how,
Preposition, conjunction, interjection — "WOW!"
(N!) (V!) (P!) (A!) (A!) (P!) (C!) (I!) — now you know.

[Verse 2 - double-time]
Linking verb connect like a bridge — is, seem, become,

Helping verb assist — "I might have been dreaming," chain,
Transitive need an object — "She threw the ball," plain.
Intransitive stand solo — "The baby slept." That's that,
Now the verbals in disguise, let me break 'em down flat:
Gerund act like a noun — "Swimming is my thing,"
Participle describe — "the broken phone ring,"
Infinitive — "to" plus the verb — "To win is the goal,"
Three imposters in the class, now you know the whole role.

[Beat Switch - darker drums, aggressive flow]
Predicate adjective after the link — "The test was brutal,"
Tall, taller, tallest — levels, that's the rule though.
Adverb tell how, when, where — "She sang really loud,"
Adverbial noun — "I walked home" — noun doin' adverb proud.
Prepositional phrase — under the bridge, across the stage,
FANBOYS coordinate — for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so — engage.
Subordinating — because, although — can't stand alone,
Correlative pairs — either/or, neither/nor — they grown.

[Outro - spoken, solo piano]
"Wow — yesterday the quiet kid finally spoke, because nobody could stop him."
Wow — interjection. Yesterday — adverbial noun.
Finally — adverb. Because — subordinating conjunction.
Nobody — indefinite pronoun. Could — helping verb.
Eight deep. Class dismissed.
