In the movie Carlito’s Way, a character by the name of Kleinfeld pulls out a gun and threatens to kill Benny, but Carlito intervenes, and lets Benny go unharmed, a decision that ends up biting Carlito in the ass.
Later in the movie, Carlito is ambushed by a disguised Benny, who shoots Carlito several times in the abdomen with a silenced gun, fatally killing Carlito.
Obviously, Carlito should have let Kleinfeld kill Benny when he had the chance.
Moral of the story
The message Spitta is ultimately sending is that you cannot trust people, which is why he chooses who he chills with very wisely. He doesn’t want to be the next Carlito.

Mozzarella is slang for money.
It is common for a gangster to keep a shoe box full of money.
A shoe box is the perfect sized box, and of course it is easy to find. Unless you are Cody Lundin from the TV show “Dual Survival”, (he hasn’t worn shoes in 20 years!)
Rick Ross does this as well, in “9 Piece”, he says:

Talking smack to Juicy wouldn’t be a smart idea for someone to do, considering he doesn’t mess around.
I’m strapped up, nigga fuck a gun law
See me walking with a limp, that’s my gun walk
I don’t do no arguin', I let the gun talk.
Juicy is from the north side of Memphis, where the area has been troubled with a high crime rate and remains one of Memphis' poorer districts. Growing up in this environment, Juicy has the knowledge to kill you with leaving no trace of himself, or his team of killers.
By taking your presidents, he is referring to stealing your money. Dead presidents has been a term for money for a long time, originating from Nas’s song, “The World is Yours”.

Tyga represents California, it is his hometown. He plays on Cal Ripken (Iron Man), the Hall-of-Fame MLB player who played for the Baltimore Orioles.
Tyga reps Cali and it is safe to believe that, and he uses a play on Ripley’s Believe it or Not. Ripley’s deals on bizarre events and items so strange and unusual that readers might question the claim.
Although it is not safe to believe Tyga is who he says he is. There is some controversy with Tyga’s hometown, he claims he’s from the rough city of Compton, but TMZ proves otherwise.

#TO MAKE IT COMPLICATED..
Curren$y’s leather seats are most likely full-grain leather because he lives such a lavish lifestyle and has a passion for cars. Full grain leather is hides that have not been sanded, buffed, or snuffed to remove imperfections on the surface of the hide. The grain remains allowing the fiber strength and durability. This is the best type you can get.
Basketballs are actually made of top-grain leather, which is the second-highest quality. It has had the “split” layer separated away, making it thinner and more pliable than full-grain.
#IN THE END..
Curren$y’s seats in his 1987 car are made of leather, just like how a basketball is made of leather.
Curren$y is all about his old school cars. Not the first time he has mentioned a car from ‘87. In Airborne Aquarium, he says:

The concrete is Detroit, Sean’s hometown.
The rose is Big Sean.
It obviously isn’t usual to see a flower grow from concrete, just like it is unusual for someone to really make it out of Detroit like Sean. But he overcame the odds. Sean plays with a rose arose.
This is a nod to Tupac’s poem “The Rose That Grew From Concrete”, which has been referenced in hip-hop before

Drugs that have other additives to falsify the weight are stepped on, this results in the drug weighing more. A sneaky drug dealer tricks the buyer into purchasing that rather than the actual drug.
You got tricked into buying it, and Rick can just tell that it isn’t pure coke right off the bat. Earlier in the song he said:
I’m smoking dope, I’m on my cell phone
I’m selling dope, straight off the iPhone
He sells it, and he smokes it. Clearly he has some serious experience with the drug.
Rick Ross truly is a boss, and he is worth a big amount at 28 million. Obviously Rick isn’t snorting, or messing with any coke that’s not that A1 perico (as said in the intro).

All Eyez On Me is an album by Tupac.
Everyone’s eyes are on Chevy, maybe because he’s spending racks at the mall without looking at the prices, or maybe because he is Chevy Woods.
Very similar to Lil Snupe’s line in “Take Over”:

This line is a double entendre.
Faking a headache is a common way for someone to get what they want; e.g., when a kid is trying to fool his mom to let him skip school. Tyga is using his “headache” as a way to get his girl to give him “head” (oral sex).
Tyga could also be using the word “head” to refer to the actual head of his dick, when it’s becoming so hard that it hurts. As far as Tyga knows, the only thing to help with this is a fellatio.
