All the world's ills, sitting on chrome 24-inch wheels,

from Lupe Fiasco – Hurt Me Soul Lyrics on Rap Genius

This is a reference to Jay-Z’s line from “D'Evils” in which he refers to life’s ills as the corrupting influence of materialism and obsession with wealth

Lupe notes that these types of desire lead people to drive around in cars on big wheels with large chrome hubcaps to show off their wealth
