What y'all nigga afraid of my mind or the metal

Meaning

Jay can beat you any way you want it, either by out-thinking or out-shooting you

Sort of like how Snoop addressed the young Sam Snead: “We can handle this like some gentlemen or we can get into some gangsta shit”

There’s also a possible play on words here: mettle/metal. As in “gentlemen of brave mettle” (William Shakespeare)
