Hova is nick name rapper Jay Z goes by as well. Jay-Z is considered to be by many, one of the best and most influential hip-hop artists in the game. So Swizz Beatz wants to be at his level of notability…

He is trying to get that paper, which is a slang term for money…

Well, according to “CelebrityNetWorth”, as for September 2013, Swizz Beatz is worth 65 million dollars… that’s a lot of paper…

It’s a common saying that those who live the street life (criminals, or join gangs will be dead of in jail before they’re 21… and it’s not false either considering these two factors;

1. The average life expectancy for gang members is 20 years old and 5 months
2. 60% of gang members are either dead or in prions by age 20.

Well as of September 2013, Cassidy is worth $7,500,000… so that is very financially stable (when you don’t have to worry about/aren’t struggling for money)

Also Cassidy claiming that he is good in bed (having sex)… so with that being said, he is giving reasons why she doesn’t have to “cry”.

Referencing to a car that has scissor doors (Lambo doors), as they are the doors that open vertically… and a car that is a convertible (missing the roof)

A reference to the crack epidemic between 1984 and the early 1990’s, which refers to the surge of crack cocaine use in major cities across the United States

The year this song was released was in 2000 as that is when the CD it was on was released, “Ryde of Die: Volume 2” (Ruff Ryders compilation)… so that would be the past. He is saying he lives in the past because he sells as much crack, as was during the epidemic.

If you didn’t know… “Philly” is a nick name for Philadelphia in the state of Pennsylvania (words I need spell check for…)

“Playing hooky” is an idiom that means you’re skipping school without a reason/excuse.

To school someone is to teach them a lesson, the hard way (like from getting humiliated, etc)… it can also simply mean just to teach someone a certain topic.

Anyway, that is where is metaphor comes from. No one can school him, so if a person was trying to, you may as well just say he is playing hooky because he won’t school JR…

Toots is a slang term of endearment for someones boyfriend or girlfriend. It’s like saying, “baby” or “honey”

So whoever this boy is, Mr. Porter is mocking him because he had sex with his girlfriend, and the boy is mad (obviously)

Most likely just a referencing to himself as he has light skin;

He compares it too the cold, snowy nights in the Arctic
