Brisket is one of Bronson’s favorite dishes, which he raps about in several other songs.
We’ve seen him rap about just about every type of food he’s ever encountered.
He is a multi talented individual and was a chef before he began rapping. He still is a chef but he has finally decided that rapping is what he was meant to do.
A bris is a Jewish circumcision ceremony.
Give all the pigs rabies, send biting niggas to Haiti's
Clothe young ladies; chase the rainbow, find the pot
Free the third time offender once he learns to makes-a-lot
Lose the fame, take the money; Play boys, just like the bunny
Find a man with a plan, Slap a chicken, If she acts funny
Break the bank, on tank Stop niggas from acting stank
Take over your vouch free Rovers Teach a man to find Jehovah
Own the stores, own the tours Watch the record, pimps and whores
Make love, stop the wars Cop the land, like the laws
Make the last be the first, make the God respect the Earth

Fucking Awesome is a clothing and skating brand founded by Jason Dill. Odd Future often references it in their music.
From a Jan. 25, 2011 interview that Tyler did with Thrasher Magazine:
The iTunes genre you set for all Odd Future releases is “Fucking Awesome.” Is that a Jason Dill reference?
Yeah, Jason Dill is one of my favorite skaters. At my first performance I wore one of his Fucking Awesome! t-shirts. In fact, I was kicking it with Jason Dill a couple months ago outside Supreme. He’s cool as fuck and crazy as shit. One of his homeboys, Dash Snow, was really inspirational—like IRAK. All that New York shit is really awesome. I think that vibe defines my music. It’s not rap, it’s not jazz—it’s Fucking Awesome!

This entire verse is stating a bunch of things Ms. Hill would love to do, these are the things she believes could change the world for the greater good
It’s cop the land like the moors, not laws and its slap a chick in, not chicken? and its free the third time offender once he learns to make salah not makes a lot. And, its take over, give out free rovers teach a man to find jehovah
The lyric should go
“free the third time offender once he learns to make salat.”
Third time offender is refwrring to the 3 strikes law passed in the 90s that allowed so many people to be jailed for life on their third major offense. Makes salat refers to the muslim prayer which is called salat. It is known many prisoners especially black men turb to Islam in prison. So Lauryn Hill is saying once they learn salat the muslim prayer in prison, their third offense of life imprisonment will be forgiven and she will free them. All based on what she would do if she can change the times and make rhymes raise the babies which is her lead off bar.
If I could change the times and make rhymes raise the babies
Give all the pigs rabies send biting niggas to Hades
Clothe young ladies, chase the rainbow find the pot
Free the third time offender once he learns to make salah
Lose the fame, take the money, play boys just like the bunny
Find a man with a plan, slap a chicken if she acts funny
Break the banks, own tanks; stop niggas from acting stank
Take over, give out free Rovers; teach a man to find Jehovah
Own the tours, own the stores, watch the records, pimps and whores
Make love, stop the wars, cop the land like the Moors
Make the last be the first, make the Gods respect the Earths
Change the murder rate to the birth (Bust it!)
