This wordplay helps to meat (HA! Get it?) and finish the metaphor in the previous lines.
Uptown was previously trying to get it in with an extremely fine woman he described as “hotter than a sirloin.” Faced with a woman that hot he was spitting his best game at her.
However, Uptown has such good skills with the ladies that he didn’t even need this, and when they were about to have sex, or “porked,” she was all over him like the A-1 Steak Sauce everyone loves to pour all over their food, especially pork chops.

A sex metaphor about meat? YOU BET IT IS!
A sirloin is the best cut of steak you can get, so a women that’s even hotter than that must be attractive!
A T-bone is another quality cut of steak, but more importantly, it creates the metaphor using the word bone, which means that Uptown is looking to get it in with this fine lady!

Great animal metaphor.
A black sheep is a person that stands out, or is different from others around him somehow, while a white hart has long been associated with royalty and honor.
Detroit feels that he is a black sheep, he feels different from everyone else. But this does not deter him from trying to be viewed with a sense of honor that a white hart is seen with.
The white hart is also characterized throughout the mixtape as a hero and a savior. This line further enforces that sentient, as Detroit desires to be this hero despite his differences.

OE is an abbreviation of the popular malt-liquor Olde English 800.
OG is not only an abbreviation for Original Gangsta, but it’s also the name of a popular marijuana strand.
So it seems that Supakali, the OG that he is, is chilling back with some OE and OG.

America has long been called a “Land of Milk and Honey” for being a place where all are happy and prosperous.
However, if this is a true statement, why are there so many people who can barely scrape by enough to survive? If America was truly this land it’s so often called, wouldn’t we be in a place where no one was suffering and everyone was leading a happy, productive life?

The series of invasions on Iraq that were implemented by the George Bush administration in the early 2000s have long been scrutinized for, not so secretly, being fueled primarily by America’s need and addiction to oil.
All while this was taking place, Oddisee had been going through his life realizing that the Arabs and other people with ties to Iraq lived in this country, and that this war was not against a nation, but was instead caused to quench America’s addiction to oil.

"Mark, you do not say anything. You do not offer me any hope. But, ah me, it is just as well—it is just as well. You could not do me any good. The time has long gone by when words could comfort me. Something tells me that my tongue is doomed to wag forever to the jigger of that remorseless jingle. There—there it is coming on me again: a blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare, a buff trip slip for a—"
Thus murmuring faint and fainter, my friend sank into a peaceful trance and forgot his sufferings in a blessed respite. Mark Twain – A Literary Nightmare

"'Oh, oh, he is gone, he is gone, and I didn't see him before he died!'
"'Yes!' I said, 'he is gone, he is gone, he is gone—oh, will this suffering never cease!'
"'You loved him, then! Oh, you too loved him!'
