Tyler references Steve McQueen’s famous escape in The Great Escape, where he drives a motorcycle over a fence to escape a Nazi POW camp. He also references Girl, a popular skateboard company based in Torrance, California.
Thus, Tyler is “escaping from concentration camps” by jumping over the walls off of “ramps,” with a “girl board.”

This line is very similar to a line from Fabolous' “In the Morning.”
“You go from getting ready at the bathroom sink
To getting bent over it
Then its over with”
Also, Ross surely could fuck his woman in any room of the house, but he does it over the sink for the rush of it. Sweaty feet on the linoleum, that’s a thrilling endeavor.

Weezy is comparing his chances of falling to the anorexic stature of Olive Oyl from Popeye.
RZA dropped a similar line on 4th Chamber
Also, olive oil is far less dense than many other liquids, floating at the top of water, thus there is a slim chance for olive oil to “fall.”
This could also mean a reference to Cash Money’s CEO Ronald “Slim” Williams. He manages the promotion and distribution so that Weezy’s sales don’t fall.
Also notice that on this line he uses the “Supa Dupa” flow. Big Sean claimed to be the originator of this flow (although he isn’t) and other rappers using it (especially Drake in the song, “Forever”) has caused some buzz.
This could also possibly be a reference to this joke.

Greta Van Susteren is a Fox News anchor who very frequently spouts such screeds as mentioned in the previous line. Here’s a nice example.
Because of her failure as a TV Anchor, Megyn Kelly tried out in 2009 to replace Van Susteren.
Bill O'reilly often reiterates what Gretta Van Susteren says on her show the night before. Megyn Kelly also frequently appears on The O'reilly Factor and sometimes fills in for Van Susteren on her show On The Record.
(Also, Megyn is way hotter than Greta)
Cause I jokes to the folks while you choke on that smoke!

Fox News anchor Bill O'reilly is very adamantly against marijuana use, but as with most Fox anchors, fails utterly in portraying his views in any sort of sensible manner.
The “On weed” line is a reference to Jon Stewart’s cameo in stoner classic Half Baked
It’s also a little reverse jab at O'Reilly who has frequently called John Stewart’s audience “stoned slackers.”
