(It's gold) The beat's a fucking bully
(Go home) The lyric's just a punk, man Tyler The Creator – Jack and the Beanstalk

Most rappers claim to “beat the beat up”, but Tyler is more modest about his rhyme skills (and he made the beat himself). He, the punk, is being pushed around by the beat

You're a gold Oscar and I'm just actin' Tyler The Creator – Sarah

The Academy Awards, nicknamed the Oscars, is an annual awards ceremony for the movie industry. Tyler is just a regular actor, and thus can’t win a prestigious Oscar (represented by Sarah). He’s not good enough at pretending that he doesn’t just want to fuck

“LOL” is also a 2008 French comedy film. Although it didn’t actually win an Oscar, this might explain the reference.

And of course, my car's off course
You're so white, my blinkers don't work Tyler The Creator – Sarah

“Sarah” has knocked Tyler’s ambitions, goals, drive, etc. off course. He can’t see where he’s turning; he’s blinded by her whiteness

Being high on “white” (cocaine) might produce something like that…

So I went Down South but I ended up North
Uptown sitting on Cloud 9's white porch Tyler The Creator – Sarah

The southern United States is a good place to go for guns and ammo, with their laxer laws and all. Tyler tried to go there, but took a detour WAY up north

This could be a metaphor for many things. Firstly, considering the song’s theme, it’s likely a reference for his taste in women. He might have been around a lot of black girls, but he ended up falling for a white one

Since “white” often refers to cocaine, he could have ended up taking cocaine and getting high and feeling euphoric (hence uptown on Cloud 9)

It could also metaphor for how he tried to make dirty rap music, and it ended up being loved by white hipsters. This made him successful, putting him on Cloud 9 (an expression meaning you are in a euphoric mental place), all courtesy of the “white” porch

And stay focused on the women and you get less done
It's ironic cause I always hear you talking about one Tyler The Creator (Ft. BranDun DeShay, Hodgy Beats & Mike G) – Session 5

Women distract from real work. Mike knows you’re slacking off because you always have your mind on the ladies. The “lady” in question could of course refer to Mary Jane as well

The one woman he is referring to is Mary Jane.

“They say focus on women and you get less done”

BrandUn DeShay has stated that once in his rhymes. It’s hypocritical that pretty much all his songs are about him obsessing over some chick. Damn Mike G, “Why you gotta Zodiac like that”?

She in colors and shit, she off that northern lights Tyler The Creator (Ft. BranDun DeShay, Hodgy Beats & Mike G) – Session 5

A girl is “in colors”, meaning she’s dressed in brightly colored clothing, and also that the weed she’s smoking is making her see colors

The Northern Lights is a natural phenomenon that produces brightly colored lights in the sky. “Northern Lights” is also the named of a high-grade strain of marijuana, which this girl is high on
