Sean connects this line from the album’s opening track “Narcissus” and explains this line a bit (see linked annotation for full effect):

I’m taking shots, you’re taking shots, let’s see who’s got more. Let’s go shot for shot

In reference to taking shots at any and everyone which connects to the final song [Elephant Graveyard] “a hundred shots out the chopper, let’s chop it up”, like I’m taking shots, you’re taking shots, let’s see who’s got more. Let’s go shot for shot" – Sean Leon

DiCaprio, not Sean Leon

“Only time will tell” this is referring back to the local rap scene in Toronto, [its] a splitting image of any episode of The Young and the Restless, it’s a lot of gossip, but none of us know who’s going to ‘pop’ the only possible way of knowing is waiting it out, “so stop all the talk, I copped a clock”, – it’s my time. – Sean Leon

According to Sean, the “jingling” over the hook is intended to sound like the jingling of keys.

Simply put, car dealerships sell cars and hand over key’s, drug dealers sell drugs and hand over kilograms. Car key’s open car doors, coke ki’s open life doors (broads, cars, money). Sean himself had this to say:

Dealership – Dealerman (both supplying key’s/ki’s) over the jingling in the hook. Cars from the drugs. Life as a local rapper you know, levels to celebrity, women acting a certain way, and then underneath you hear “Keys open doors, keys keys open doors”, Clipse reference, back to keys and ki’s

The key’s to success!

There was some intention with the repetitiveness of the word “petty”, according to Sean himself:

The repetition is what was necessary to replace the word ‘HATER’ with ‘petty’ it’s like, how fresh would it be to replace the most overused word in our culture? Instead of calling someone a hater I wanted to make people use petty.

Tis the year for change! The NBA has changed the format for this year’s contest and will put the stars in conference vs conference battle – with the winning conference all being dubbed as “2014 Slam Dunk Champions”. Fans will now vote in for their favorite performance and whichever star gets this vote will take the title of “Dunker of the Night”.

The opening round is touted as The Freestyle Round, which each conference will be given 90 seconds for their respective participants to perform as many dunks as they’d like, assists/alley-oops included!

The second round, The Battle Round will put one on one matchups from the East and West, which judges will determine who won the specific battle. The first conference to win three of these matchups will be the victor.
