PROPOSED SUGGESTION:

this seems like a play of the saying, the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, implying that trying to be or have something you aren’t capable of will lead to trouble.

Shady is another way to say suspicious. And look at the next lines, he talks about being caught around fake gangsters trying to rep sets that he has to act upon.

PROPOSED SUGGESTION:

this seems like an interpolation of American Football quarterback cadence: “Hut One, Hut Two, Hut Hut Hike”. Combined with a sample from Whodini’s “Freaks Come Out at Night”.

This song originally contained a verse from DJ Quik which was likely scrapped to his extremely abrasive and race-fueled lyrics during a time when gang violence and police brutality were at a relative peak.

This era represented Quik at his most verbally visceral in the booth. He launched scathing diss record after diss record. Many that had to be edited or dropped altogether. The unreleased studio session of this record involved an absolute lyrical monsoon unleashed on Mc Eiht but more notably, House of Pain whom had been the subject of Quik disses since the Menace II Society soundtrack.

Vogues aren’t rims. Instead it is a whitewall tire brand. When rappers talk about dolling on vogues, they mean the tire. 83 and 84 wire wheels were featured on those model year Cadillac Biaritz cars. They are also called swangas.
