Game packs on the mouse/rat related puns in an attempt to portray Meek as nothing more than a snitching rat.

He employs Disney’s Mickey Mouse and the common “squeaking” sound associated with the rodent to alter Meek’s name to fit the diss.

Game even posted a meme of Meek as Mickey Mouse on his Instagram.

Game is a member of the Bloods street gang, who use red as an official color. The Cincinnati Reds are a baseball team that has predominantly red merchandise, so Game wears some of their gear to represent his gang.

“At-ing” someone is when you tag them in a social media post using the @ symbol. Meek is infamous for calling out his enemies on social media, but Game wants to meet Meek face-to-face. Game also plays on see, since a “C” is the logo for the Cincinnati Reds.

In the summer of 2015, Meek Mill was involved in a beef with Drake. After Meek failed to reply to Drake’s first diss track, “Charged Up,” Drake released a second diss, “Back to Back,” only four days later.

Drizzy was seen as the overall winner of the beef, and many memes about the beef went viral. Drake even used some in his performance of “Back to Back” at OVO Fest 2015.

correction: “no come back to L.A.”; since Game mentioned YG in previous line – also can be a reference to YG’s opening track from his 2016 album “Still Brazy” – “Don’t Come to LA”.

Lying on the Internet like you ain't talking to twelve
Got the cops at my door, like they dropping off mail
I seen that fake paperwork on XXL The Game – Pest Control

“Twelve” is one of many slang words used to refer to police or law enforcement. Game claims that Meek snitched to the police about his involvement in Sean Kingston’s chain-snatching. Since the police think Game is a suspect, they’re at his door like mailmen, trying to see what he knows about the situation.

A day before this song dropped, XXL ran a post saying that Meek didn’t snitch, but Game is skeptical of the evidence they presented.

Your hate palpable, your jaw full of dust

Dust could refer to PCP (Angel Dust) or ecstasy. A person often gets “lock"jaw when they take ecstasy and grind their teeth, making it difficult to talk. Earl also plays on palpable and palate (the roof of your mouth)—if you keep talking shit he might sock you in the mouth.

Judges are addressed as “your honor” in court and “lock” people up. He implies he will lock your jaw up if you judge him.

“Lock it up” in prison means hit a cell for a fight so the cops don’t see that. Fitting the next line, I imagine that’s what he’s referencing.

Earl is also saying that it’s illogical for people who can’t rap to hate him. If your jaw is full of dust, you are cotton mouthed, & therefore can’t spit.

“never been an honor to judge” could imply that Earl has no honor therefore there is none to judge.

Your hate palpable, but your jaw full of dust/
You got' keep talking' or are we lockin' it up?/
[ This missing “but” is so important! Without it, Earl would merely be saying that his haters have dust in their jaws. However, what he is actually saying is that his haters’s anger is so strong and palpable, “but” their mouths are filled with dust so whatever they say is pathetic and meaningless.]

I don’t know how relevant drugs are in this lyric. I think the other suggestions make more sense (grinding teeth from hatred or having words that are worth nothing more than dust). I do agree that the “but” is missing and is important.

“Jaw full of dust” refers to angry people clenching their jaws or grinding their teeth so hard that their teeth become actual dust.

Meek implies that most people from where he’s from only make on the news for being killed or committing a crime.

He used these exact words in an Instagram post a couple days before this song dropped. The caption was a reference to the murder of his cousin, Angelo, who has been shot and killed a few days earlier.

I wake up early on 'em, gettin' out the house is a must

Earl’s previous album, I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside, centered on his feelings of isolation, agoraphobia, and depression. But now he’s waking up early and getting out more.

He plays on the phrase “Early bird,” (see previous line) with “Early” being one of his nicknames. “Sweaty” is another one of his nicknames, which plays on “must/musk” and sweaty armpits. Tyler, The Creator used a similar line on the Pusha T song, “Trouble On My Mind.”

Earl practices Nichiren Buddhism—Buddist monks often live in mountains. Either he’s practising religion, or sitting in his house counting his money (dubs).

he could also be using the word “mountain” as a metaphor for getting high, since mountains are usually high up off the ground, and if you sit on one you’ll definitely be high lol. also some monks are usually take an oath of silence, so that could represent his homies. i know i ain’t the only one who spends his highs sitting in silence ltm or something
