Think you blew me up with your bougie butt
But you ain't slow me up, I'm on the charts, you move me up

from The Dream (Ft. Cocaine 80's, Mase & Pusha T) – Higher Lyrics on Rap Genius

In the past, richer people than him have told him he can’t get to the position he wants to be because he’s not good or rich enough. In reality, these people have helped him get to where he is, like Jay-Z said, they’ve been his fuel.

This could have to do with the problems that Puffy threw at Ma$e when he tried to sign with 50 Cent’s G-Unit Records. Puff said he owes Bad Boy some records and that he owes him $$. Ma$e is saying that his contract and business issues haven’t stopped him from making hit music and that any controversy Puff causes only serves to make him more interesting to listeners.
