How the contraction "ain't" is used?
Hello!
I have read the contraction "ain't" in a song and I know its translation, but I don't know which tense corresponds.
The sentence is: "But ain't done much healing" (Hello!, song of Adele)
I can understand that corresponds with the present perfect but I had never seen before.
It can be used with other tenses?
Thank you so much

Ain't is improper English. It is a contraction of "am not". Although, it is also used in place of "is not", "are not" or "have not". In the above sentence, it'd translate best to: But I have not done much healing ... See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ain%27t
