This is a play on words. “We at war”, so it’s time to ‘buck up,’ a phrase which means rise to a challenge. He’s also referring to literal buckshot, meaning they’re ridin with shotguns.

"Ugh, I got more blocks than Mutumbo" (Future – Jordan Diddy) | accepted

Gucci is using a double-meaning of the word blocks — in his case, it refers to bricks of cocaine. In Dikembe Mutombo’s case, blocks refer to blocking of shots in basketball.

Since Mutombo is known for putting up a lot of blocks, Gucci is saying he’s got a ton of bricks.

It’s motrin, as in the painkiller

"And it's not about the flip mane / Want the real bread, d..." (Young Jeezy – Air Forces (Bonus Track)) | pending

He’s saying it’s not about how much money you get from your flip…if you got real dough, its all about the whips you have

"Q and 'Bino in the house and you niggas in the senate / G..." (Childish Gambino – Unnecessary) | rejected

Gambino is alluding to the House of Representatives and the Senate, the two chambers of congress. House representatives are chosen by the people, while Senate reps are chosen by state governments. In other words, Gambino is a man of the people, while other rappers are just corporate-promoted sellouts.

"Concrete shoes won't help in the river / I don't care if ..." (Lil Wayne – Ice Cream Paint Job (Remix)) | pending

@NY state of mind nice picture, but you missed the point of concrete shoes…they used to be used by the mob as a way of killing people — put concrete shoes on them, then throw them in a river. This is what Weezy’s referencing.

"I can shake your brain loose of all that gay sh" (King Fantastic – Why? Where? What?) | pending

He’ll fuck your day up

"I will say this, if you play this" (King Fantastic – Why? Where? What?) | pending

If you mess around with him and his thugs

This song is “Welcome 2 Houston.” Could an editor please change the name? It’s stopping me from adding the actual Boss of all Bosses

"Sippin' on that 'gnac / Rollin' off a bean" (Jadakiss – Paper Tags) | pending

He’s sippin on Cognac, rollin' off a bean refers to being on ecstasy

Patrick Ewing’s number was 33 — Jeezy’s saying that it’s 2010 and you’re payin $33K for a kilo — the last time he paid 33k he was wearin an Ewing jersey. In other words, you’re payin way too high of a price for a kilo.

Same concept here as in Kobe Lebron
