It is a reference to a double identity considering that Arabs in North Africa ie Egypt, Sudan, Algeria can be considered African as well as Arab by their adaption of the Arabic language and identity. Both peoples are all Muslims and equally Africans no matter if they speak Arabic or another African language.

And since they are all Muslims/Brothers why are they fighting and enslaving each other?

To add, the Arab world is very race and caste conscious. Nas may simply to referring to the perpetual war and political violence common in Northern Africa, the Horn of Africa, and Middle East. Although they are Muslims and adhere to Islam, a faith that doesn’t encourage greed and war, this is what has become of them. It’s sadly ironic.

This links to the next couple lines which also use the word mine, albeit a different definition of it:

Her memories of the great times she had with him are starting to leak into her “mine” (hence why they were sinking deep in) which is metaphor for her “mind”, she can’t forget about him.

Or as Jhene put it:

My mine, like that dark place you mine for precious minerals… get it? well, my mind is a dark place full of memories … like a mine… shrugs.

This is a copy of Jay Z’s line from, Money Ain’t a Thang, where he states:

Said she loved my necklace, started relaxing
Now that’s what the fuck I call a chain reaction

This creates a double entendre:

  1. When she saw his chain, she relaxed, meaning she literally reacted to his chain.

  2. Seeing his chain, relaxed her, creating a chain reaction, this is wordplay as chain and chain reaction both contain the word chain.
