The Pirus are the original set of the Bloods along with The Brims. They were their own gang sets respectively, but joined together in retaliation of Lyle “Bartender” Joseph Thomas (a Piru OG and founding member) was slain by the Crips. Therefore they would not say “Compton” but instead replaced the “c” with a “b” and say “Bompton.” This is a common practice amongst Bloods due to their rivalry with the Crips.

Apparently, Royce now drives an Aston Martin.
A reference to the prior line – while T-Pain is known for using ‘AutoTune’, and didn’t want to work with Royce, now Royce has so much money that his car ‘auto-tunes’ itself (gets a tune up).
It’s also a specific diss towards T-Pain, who’s known for having one of the most impressive car collections in the entire rap business. Royce owns a car that not even T-Pain could dream of.

Short for 30 kilograms (of drugs), most likely cocaine. Around the time that Ronald Reagan was in office was the time when there was an explosion of cocaine that flooded inner city streets.
He’s saying he makes dope music.
The line is alluding to the conspiracy that Reagan brought cocain from Nicaragua to get African Americans hooked on crack. That is why he says the 30 ki’s are under the court building. Also this shows the contradiction between drug dealers getting sentenced to jail time for selling drugs when and government bringing it in right under their feat.
