When Lil Wayne was 12 years old, he accidentally shot himself in the chest with a 9mm handgun and nearly bled to death. He recounted the tale on his song “London Roads”

I remember goin' in your gun drawer
Puttin' it to my chest and missin' my heart by centimetres
Oh Lord
I remember dyin' on her room floor
And wakin' up in some police’s arms

Since Wayne has been so close to actually dying, the death of him and Birdman’s Young Money Cash Money Billionaires imprint does not phase him—it’s simply Young Money Entertainment now. He explored that topic on “He’s Dead,” off his 2015 Tidal exclusive album FWA.

This is also a reference to The Revenant, where Leonardo DiCaprio spoke these same words:

“Rick The Ruler” is the nickname of rapper Slick Rick, a former member of Doug E. Fresh & the Get Fresh Crew. Besides being known as one of hip-hop’s greatest storytellers, he often sported a lot of diamond encrusted jewelery. However, Offset claims that his diamonds are even cooler than Rick’s.

Subject: Art

I highkey wanted to be an artist for a while, so I always loved going to art and getting my creative juices flowing. Then I got to high school and somehow got a C for something I spent weeks on and realized the American education system is a joke. But yeah, art class was fun before that.

Time: Lunch Time

In high school they used to have Domino’s Pizza and these sinful fresh baked chocolate chip cookies available for lunch every day. It was expensive but whew boy was it delicious after straining your brain in Algebra II.

Pulling up on someone is approaching them with aggressive intent. If you get too close to Travis there might be trouble, and he uses onomatopoeia that mimics the sound of a gun to further prove his point.

Apparently he’s not afraid to fend for himself either. In 2015, Travis got involved in a brawl with fans at a tour stop in Tucson, AZ.

“Incidentals” are charges made to a hotel room that are extra to the room rate, like mini bar, room service, etc. When you stay in higher end hotels, it’s normal to “rack up” or collect a ton of incidental charges, but knowing Travis, he’s probably having to pay for the damage caused by his wild parties.

Hobby Airport is one of two airports located in Travis’s hometown of Houston, Texas.

Hobby is the airport located closest to Houston’s city center. The city’s other airport, Bush, is located in the city’s far north suburbs. Passengers flying into Bush typically miss out on seeing downtown Houston’s skyline, so you literally can’t see the city unless you’re flying into Hobby.

Avianne and Co is a celebrity jeweler. Despite not having a deal with a major record label, 21 still makes enough money to afford their expensive pieces.
