So next time you see the homey and his rims spin
Just know my mind is working just like them

from Jay-Z – Moment of Clarity Lyrics on Rap Genius

Meaning

Unlike people whose minds don’t get used except for thinking about what rims to put on their car ::cough:: Birdman ::cough:: Jay-Z’s mind works like the rims, as he is always thinking about ways to make money/making moves. However, have you ever seen when someone is stunting with Sprewell’s and one of their rims isn’t spinning? It’s very funny #poeticjustice.

Jay-Z would later spit on 30 Something: “I’m young enough to know the right car to buy and old enough not to put rims on it”
