TBS (Turner Broadcasting System) is the TV Channel that Martin used to play on. It can be implied that Kendrick and his girl didn’t have the best finanical situation at that time.
It was tedious for them to always have to settle for a cheap meal like TV dinners every time they were hungry…
At least he has the 2 p’s right?

His homies can say whatever about him but he won’t resort to selling drugs like them. Even though, sometimes, moving weight seems like the only way he can make money, but he’s not going to succumb to the peer-pressure. He doesn’t want to live the life of a drug-dealer.
He uses the word “trump” in such a way, making it out to have two meanings:
In a metaphorical sense, a trump card is the move one party can use to attain decisive victory. So, instead of going the usual route his friends went (selling drugs), he’s going to come up with a new strategy (make a name for himself in the music industry) to become successful.
He wants to be like Trump (Donald Trump that is. You know – the rich white dude with fake hairs), who’s a business magnate, worth well over $3 Billion.
Peer-pressure is a recurring theme in Kendrick’s music. He even dedicates a whole song, in which he talks about falling victim to the peer-pressure and robs a house with his homies, from his latest album, good kid, m.A.A.d city.

“Kobes” is slang for 24" rims because Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers wears number 24. Upgrading from the already extravagant 24" to 26" rims is another symptom of vanity slavery.
