Many rich kids growing up usually tend to rebel or act out. And because their parents are never around, they always find the time to take their parents' expensive-ass Jaguar. This line just exemplifies the bratty attitude of the kids.

Young people have such easy access to the internet now that it has become almost an everyday need for them. Many little girls now have the capability to watch uncensored video’s and listen to uncensored music by themselves, without any parental supervision. Because of this, many little girls try to imitate what they hear and see on the internet, thus becoming a ‘bad bitch’
When Lupe references “a group of girls 9-12” he is referring to the time he saw his little sister and her friends on the computer watching videos. He then wonders what the girls next door are watching on the internet??? most likely unconcerned videos/music.
Until that intelligence meets their favorite singer's preference

Many young women now-a-days are malleable and unmentored, confused on how they want to present themselves to the world. These young women are easy to manipulate and mold because they just want to fit in with what is ‘cool’ and will make them feel good about themselves. So when these girls see the Trey Songz and Chris Brown’s of the world surrounded by “bad bitches” in their videos they develop a crush on the artist and mold themselves after those girls.

Many young people just want to party and get fucked up. They can be easily manipulated by the presence of alcohol and will often use it as an excuse to lose self-respect and do things they probably shouldn’t be doing. These people will assemble or “flock” to the nearest person who has a few bottles. (Think of this scene in Superbad)
Metaphorically, the physical action of “waving” while in a pool is a sign for lifeguard to come rescue you. Therefore, Kendrick is mentioning his divergence from our generation’s ways of drowning their problems.
His wordplay with “flock” could also refer to sheep, how he began drinking by chasing after fake dreams to fit in with the crowd, like sheep to a shepherd.
I took it as “waive a few bottles” as in he turned them down. And because of that the group flocks away.

If alcohol here (apart from being about alcoholism) is a metaphor for gang culture, (jumping into a pool of it, slowly drinking it as it poisons you, getting drunk on it and its feeling.), then the ‘few bottles’ here might be a metaphor for a gun. When waving it in the air, friends and other people flock towards you, and others including family and enemies are driven away. Again, with alcohol, friends and others flock towards you like sheep, but family and others are driven away. The notion of waving either of these things, either as a metaphor or literally suggests heavy involvement with them. For example, nobody waves a bottle around if they do not drink and get drunk regularly/ habitually.
The “wave” part is a stretch.
