The ‘grandfather (clause)’ deal might refer to some sort of court arrangement that his money allowed him to work out with the judge. Grandfather clause is a legal term used to describe a situation in which an old rule continues to apply to some existing situations, while a new rule will apply to all future situations.

This line is more than likely in reference to the Maybach Music Group record deal Rick Ross signed with Warner Bros. From an era where rap labels were born with of 50/50 splits, distribution only ventures, favorable royalties and alike (ala Roc-a-fella, G-Unit, Cash Money); Ross claims to have some of these stipulations grandfathered in to his Contract. A rare occasion in today’s economy.

The same rappers who claim to be thugs are in Hollywood (i.e. Ice T’s “Cop Killer”). Now Ice plays a cop on Law and Order. (Whatever you have to do to pay the bills!)

This is also a subtle shot at Young Jeezy who starred in his own mini-movie entitled .38. This shot could also be directed towards Ross' former rival 50 Cent, who started as a gangsta rapper, and eventually starred in movies such as Get Rich or Die Tryin and All Things Fall Apart.

Ross is referring to people who still wonder if he’s dealing drugs even though his net worth is worth $40 million dollars.

Ross is actually worth $25 mills, so perhaps he has answered his own question if he’s still dealing drugs – he’s legally worth $25 million but claims to be worth $40 million, so that $15 million difference is the undeclared profit made from selling drugs.
