In this verse Daniel Johns (writer of this song) clearly expresses how he is paranoid and thinks suicide would be the best option to get rid of his worries.

At the time of this songs release, Daniel Johns was only 15 years of age (album Frogstomp was released in 1995 and Daniel Johns is 33 now). It is kind of crazy that anyone has these thoughts- never mind someone who is only 15.

In this verse Daniel Johns sings

People making fun of me
For no reason but jealousy

The jealousy he would most likely be referring to is Daniel Johns and his band Silverchair getting signed in 1994, when they were just 14 years old.

In Daniels fantasy of suicide, the method of use is holding his breath, I guess that’s pretty simple…

#But Don’t worry
Daniel Johns is alive and well.

“Ice” refers to jewelry. So a lot of ice on a watch would be a nice, expensive watch, probably covered with diamonds.

He then goes on to say

I could freeze time

Which is some very clever wordplay that shows us how cold this watch is because of all the ice on it.

Often people who read are considered “nerds”.

And being able to read someone means to understand them well. So Psyonik is as interested in being able to read (understand) this girl, as a nerd is to read books.

The next line is fairly similar to the first one. If the girl that he is very interested in is tired of relationships (love sick), then he would be more than willing to make her change her mind (be her doctor) by being with her.

When most adults hear rap music, they usually react in a disgusted manor.

But Psy isn’t rapping for the people who are too closed minded to hear what he’s actually saying. Psyonik has worked very hard when it comes to music (which is what he means by “I read the manual”), so he doesn’t care what closed minded people think of his music, he only raps for people who will actually listen.

Psyonik pours a 40 (malt liquor) to show respect for friends and/or family members who have passed away.

Psy spitting another 40 refers to him rapping 40 bars, which he does to represent his friends who are still hustling.

“G’s” stands for Gangsters and “Lac” stands for Cadlilac

Picture of a Cadlilac

So basically, a bunch of gangsters are hotboxing in a nice car. All of these gangsters doing so probably looks something like the scene from Scary Movie where shorty and his crew were smoking up in his car.

This song is produced by The Neptunes, which Pharrell is one half of. Snoop is giving Pharrell a shout out (by telling people to go to P, which is Pharrell, for beats), because Snoop obviously thinks he is a good producer, plus he is the featured artist, so he wanted to give him extra props.

When something is in your rear view, it is behind you.

So the haters are behind Snoop, meaning he isn’t worried about them.

Snoop and his homies get their money in large amounts (“bricks”).

The “bricks” part could also refer to them storing their money in rubber bands, making their money thick as bricks (they probably keep their money in rubber bands regardless).

Snoop and his crew also roll their weed in blunts, which is a hollowed out cigar filled with marijuana.

While other guys spend their money on women.

Snoop is making money while other guys are spending their money on girls, Snoop obviously thinks this is foolish.
