These lines are a play on words referencing Percocet, gang banging, and gambling, all of which have their perils. Da$H feels that every day of his life is a gamble thanks to him being in a set, or gang.
“Perks of the set” also sounds like “Percocet,” which is a dangerous, highly addictive pain-killing narcotic that is risky to use recreationally.

Soul is so witty and clever that some people get lost trying to understand him, like you’d get lost in the woods.
He also plays on “wilderness/woods” by referring to “backwoods,” which are a brand of cigars that is also used to roll weed. “Joint” can refer to the song as well as papers used to roll weed. Soulo is implying you need to be high in order to understand this song.

To anoint is to smear or rub with oil. These women let Soul hit it (cut) so frequently that he jokingly needs to bring ointment that you’d use to disinfect an actual wound.
Continuing the wordplay on things you’d rub in your skin, Soul’s rhymes are so slick that he compares them to lubricant, which is a substance that helps to minimize friction.
On the second line Soul basically refers himself as a therapist
These women have problems with their men(you stressin' em). Ab-Soul “schedules an appointment with em” making it sound formal as if it’s going to be a Therapy Session
