In this line, “lake her” also sounds like “Laker” as in the Los Angeles Lakers. This connects the line to the Derek Fisher reference in the next line

A reference to the video game Ratchet & Clank, in which Ratchet is known for the guns that he has (similar to “Gunz” if you will).

“Ratchet” is also slang for a firearm, typically a handgun, hence the name of the character. Another piece of evidence that shows that rappers are big video game geeks.

Wordplay on shishkabob, and Bob Saget. Saget probably has some rashes of his own after all that fucking around with the Olson twins

Tyler’s catching some nasty rashes after being blown by gay men. Tyler uses “shishkabob” to connect the line to Bob Saget, as well as to show that a shishkabob looks like a penis

The Bob Saget reference also ties into the earlier mention of Mary-Kate.

Also, in the movie Half Baked, Bob Saget sucked dick for coke

This is a reference to the next line. A “black skinhead” is a mix of a few different cultures and beliefs, and safaris have many different types of animals.

Also, Tyler sometimes makes fun of blacks (i.e. the “Cotton gin” line, so by saying it’s an “animal safari,” he could be calling blacks animals.

This is followed up by “If I offend you I’m sorry,” and for good reason. If I said that about anyone I would feel bad.
