Only "Commendatory/Derogatory Word" as "agree/hate" is strange.
Because,
"Commendatory/Derogatory" enable sentences to mean "Positive" from "Negative".
Actually, just like in Chinese, for example:
--
0 ~; n- t" g+ i8 Y: i0 s$ UPositive Sentence:
( G3 v+ ~" M1 `2 ~) Z, v  a不能再同意了=同意得不能再同意了
5 U. w+ Y; X5 N9 J( n* ^不能再喜欢了＝喜欢得不能再喜欢了
+ S( o& s9 ^* ~/ I* r5 m! t0 q不能再爱了＝爱得不能再爱了
不能再讨厌了 ＝ 讨厌的不能再讨厌了
# `) L% Z$ N+ ]- |; _3 C"同意/喜欢/爱" are "Commendatory", "讨厌"is "Derogatory".

Negative Sentence:

8 R- E& G0 {, q$ q不能再吃了
不能再忍受了
不能再停留下去了
不能再耐烦了
"拖延/吃/忍受/停留/耐烦" are "Neutral Word "

The lyrics is typical black English: double negative = negative (NOT positive). eg.. we don't need no education = we don't need education.

I would not say these sentences myself.
If someone says to me "I can't agree no more" or "I can't agree any more",
I will ask back "What do you mean? Do you agree or disagree?"
