In ancient Greece, a nymph was an attractive woman who had an insanely big sex drive.

Now it’s basically slang for a young girl who sleeps around a lot and has much sexual experience for her age.

If music was like woman, Rakim would always be fiending for a fix of hip hop.

Eternal means everlasting, never ending.
An eternalist is someone who believes that all dimensions of time are real instead of just the present.

By saying this, he is implying that these rhymes don’t have an expiration date. 20 years from now, people will still think this song and anything Rakim has written is a lyrical masterpiece.

A lot of people of the Hindu faith have a dot on the middle of their head. It is a symbol of Hinduism and represents divine sight.

If you see a dot on your head, you’re not a Hindu, it’s a dot from the gun that Buckshot is holding. Most commonly, it is a long range rifle with a scope and laser that has a strong red dot.

When Buck says “That mean you’re withdrew” he could also be saying “That mean you’re Windu”, referring to the Star Wars character Mace Windu who was killed in one of the movies.
