Demetrius got a 3-day pay or vacate notice on his door which is what this song is about.

Although Demetrius and his bros have been rapping for a long time, they still can’t seem to pay the rent which makes Demetrius come to the conclusion that it doesn’t help pay the rent. This is also a reference to the title of the previous mixtape:

Mixtape Monthly Vol 10: Rapping Doesn’t Pay The Rent

Julius got a 3 day notice from his landlord which means that he has to pay the rent or vacate the premises. According to this site…

A 3-day pay or vacate notice does not mean that you have to vacate the premises within three days. Eviction is a court process and your landlord cannot have you removed from the premises until a court order has been issued.

Julius doesn’t have time to relax by “kicking it”, he’s too stressed out by trying to pay the rent because he doesn’t wanna get evicted.

Dice got a 3 day notice which means he has to pay the rent or vacate the home. Although, you can’t be evicted until a court order is issued. Dice noticed the 3 day notice after 2/3 days were up so he only has 1 day (24 hours) left.

This is also a reference to TeeFlii’s song “24 Hours” Ft. 2 Chainz

The instrumental for “Hot Nigga” by Bobby Shmurda is used for this song. “Hot Nigga” was made popular by the dance done by Bobby in the music video.

Since Julius doesn’t have any money, he has no reason to celebrate by doing the “Shmoney Dance”.

Julius threatens to shoot you with a MAC which is a machine pistol that comes in either Model 10 or Model 11 which are manufactured by Military Armament Corporation.

A MAC-10 & MAC-11.

When you get shot, you bleed, Julius compares your bleeding to Ragú, which is a brand of Italian-style sauces which are often red.

It is often used with pasta such as Macaroni.

Keeping it 100 refers to keeping it real. Julius uses combining 5 $20 bills, which make a $100 as a simile for keeping it 100. The $20 bill has the image of Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States.

Some people may have been confused at first and thought Julius was referring to the singing group, The Jackson 5, but Julius tells you that he’s not talking about them, to help you understand the line better.

A 99¢ store is one of the cheapest places to shop, Demetrius shows how unfortunate he is by telling the listener that he can’t even afford to shop there.

Julius uses a combination of a metaphor and a simile here. Life pissing on him means that he feels as if life was really unfair to him. He uses the home pregnancy test as part of the simile since a woman has to piss on it for it to reveal whether she’s pregnant or not just like how life pissed on him.

Julius is getting very desperate to make ends meet so he has a rusty box cutter in his hand to use as a weapon to threaten someone with.

He also refers to the phrase “like a hot knife through butter” with a twist. A hot knife can easily cut it’s way through butter by melting and cutting it’s way through. The box cutter Julius has is so dull that it couldn’t even cut through hot butter which means that he has no intent to use it as a weapon, he just needs it to scare somebody into giving him their personal belongings when he robs them.

Phone-EG is referring to the Donald Sterling incident, which resulted in the Los Angeles Clippers playing with their jerseys inside out to protest the racist owner.
