Since Demetrius' father was absent from his life, his 2 older brothers replaced their deadbeat father and raised him. The fact that his mother had to show him how to be manly shows how tough she was to be raising so many kids on her own.
Demetrius' older brothers Mad-Man and Crooked.

Demetrius finds it sad that he can’t even love his father and proves that being biologically related to someone doesn’t make you love them or treat them as family. It’s more about how close you are to them and how much love you got for them.
He’s proves it by showing that he’s got more love for his non-blood-related friends than his actual grandmother. Jay Cee is a good friend of Demetrius and the rest of COB. He made HSG’s “Mixtape Monthly” covers.

Now this may be surprising to hear on a song about “Family Over Everything” but there’s more to it. Demetrius and his family have a lot of beef with their relatives. He even discussed it on the song “No Love For My Relatives”.
Wanna know how much he hates them? Here’s the hook for that song.
I got no love for my relatives
Fuck ‘em all, fuck 'em all
For all that shit they ever did, fuck 'em all
Yo, fuck my pa, fuck my grandpa and my grandma
Fuck 'em all, I don’t fuck with y'all, goddamn y'all
Fuck my cousins, and my aunts and uncles, I can’t stand y'all
Give you tickets to my show, just to knock your head off
Demetrius has so much hate in his heart for his relatives that he wants them to die a painful death of getting shot.

Julius is posted up/leaning against a wall as if he were posing for a photo.
While Julius is chillin', it wouldn’t be wise to approach him since he has guns to kill you with if you make the wrong move. He also makes a reference to his biological brother Crooked I aka KXNG CROOKED’s song “YODO”.
It’s derived from the phrase popularized by Drake.
It was turned into a rather dark version that shows that you only have 1 life so you gotta be careful.
Julius and the rest of the HSG appeared in the music video for YODO.

Julius doesn’t know anyone but family, so if you ain’t family, he doesn’t wanna hang/kick it with you. He makes a play on words with “kicking it” and “dojo” which is a place to train martial arts and also practice your kicks.
