Grammar behind the song title 'The Way I Are' [closed]
Solution 1:
I am not familiar with the song, but that title is bad grammar.
I is singular. Are would go with a plural subject. Perhaps the songwriter is hinting at having multiple personalities? Perhaps they wanted to do some other kind of word play or indicate that "they way he is" is broken, but there is no way to defend that title as grammatically correct!
The grammatically correct version would be "The way I am."
Solution 2:
Pop songs, and most forms of poetry, bend, break and totally ignore the rules of "proper grammar". See poetic license.
So yes, it doesn't match the rules, but that doesn't mean the rules are wrong --- just that they've been ignored.
