Gírias
Sign off significa desistir ou falhar em continuar algo, especialmente um compromisso ou sucesso. Getting commas refere-se a acumular grandes somas de dinheiro, denotando a presença de vírgulas em valores numéricos elevados. Whip my wrist, it lock up alude ao ato repetitivo de misturar substâncias ilícitas com as mãos, causando cãibras no pulso, uma metáfora para o trabalho árduo na rua. Red slugs é uma gíria mais obscura que pode denotar uma facção, grupo ou código específico dentro do ambiente de rua do artista. Lackin' significa estar despreparado, desatento ou vulnerável, geralmente em um contexto de perigo ou confronto.
