Royce has so many bitches it might actually be harder to get rid of his own than to steal yours…

This is another of many “stealing your girlfriend” lines in this song.

A nickel is $5.00 worth of weed (which isn’t all that much).

When you don’t have enough weed to fill the paper, you twist it (the central pun of the line – Royce is “twisted” aka nutso). Royce is also referred to as “Nickel.”

There is a double entendre here:

Royce only battles with dope rappers who can spit shit from the mouth, not out their ass. In other words, no bullshit. Here is the translation of the line:

  • Mailmen = rappers (as they both “deliver)
  • Heroin refers to dope bars/lines
  • Boca is Spanish for mouth

Also as far as Boca, Royce is referring to Boca Raton, Florida. In the past, Florida has had a serious heroin problem.

This line has a possible triple entendre between the previous lines and the following line.

The Elusive Triple:

  • In reference to the previous line, pop in that context means to pop off shots (as in shoot someone).

  • The second meaning is to pop bottles of champagne, in reference to the next line.

  • The third, is that of pop music. Niggas want Royce to make pop music, but he refuses to conform, continuing to make his music great an original.

Rolling Papers is the title track off of Domo Genesis' 2010 release of Rolling Papers.

Out of the members of Odd Future, Domo Genesis is the most laid back, chillest, weed-rappinest, Wiz-esque rapper of the gang. Though they have the same title, Domo’s album came out far before Wiz Khalifa’s most recent release.

As with most original Odd Future songs, the beat is made by the Odd Future team. No sampling here folks. If you’re looking for some good Odd Future over sampled beats, go download their mixtape Radical.

He is addressing Cam'ron, referring to Cam'ron’s basketball career in high school and how popular he was because of that.

In J.R. Writer’s song “Bird Call” Cam'ron says the following:

Damn homie, In high school you was the man homie, That’s what a fan told me

Referring to 50 as a fan of his.

50 and Cam later had some pretty serious beef, after Killa Cam made fun of some of G-Unit’s members' album sales on live radio. However, this was not until 2007.

R&B singer Jhene Aiko sampled these lyrics in her song Popular from her Sailing Soul(s) mixtape, which was released in 2011.

It’s true that Nikes in Japan are far cooler than those sold in the U.S.

Still.. 1200 pairs?! Is this Wale or the chick from Sex & The City?

However, Wale is easily the biggest sneakerhead in the rap game. Dating back to 2006’s 100 Miles and Running Mixtape where he raps about his dunks, J’s, etc. on the song “Kicks,” Wale has proven that he has the dopest kicks in the game. He has been known to rock foamposites MONTHS before they drop, as well as mad other exclusive Jordans, Nikes, Pennys, ETC.

I would guess he has 3000 pairs.
