A few meanings are very cleverly packed into this line:
Firstly, you get killed depending on whether or not you pass the cut, meaning act correctly, as in passing the cut in the last round of a sport’s team trials. So the Deck is saying that similar to making a sports team being based on how good you are at sport, not ending up dead in the hood is a matter of how good you are at living in the hood.
Secondly it means passing the cut, as in paying off the police. The cut being a ‘cut’ of your profits. If you’re paying off the cops it is not worth their while killing you.
Thirdly, cut could refer to cocaine, so you get bagged up (cocaine is sold in bags) or killed, for selling coke. Cut, however, would describe cocaine which is not pure, so you only get killed if you are selling bad coke and ripping people off.
it could also mean if you are black you do not make the cut and therefore get bagged up in jail.
