Silent watches typically cost a lot of money compared to watches that make noise. So if your roley (Rolex) tick rocks it must be a cheap knock-off, which is indicative that you lack sufficient funds to purchase a real Rolex brand wristwatch.

A subpoena is an order to appear for a court date (most likely as a result of a crime/alleged crime.) The related party is obliged to bring evidence before a judge. Thus, one would receive a subpoena, attend their court date, and serve their sentence.

Some seem to think that Mack Maine is saying “Serve ‘em like 'Sevenus,’” which is purportedly a combination of Serena and Venus, as in Venus and Serena Williams, the professional tennis players. To commence a point, the ball is “served” to the opposing player’s side of the court; similarly, to “serve” someone is to make them look foolish.

Recorded in memoriam of the late Robert Earl Davis, Jr. (DJ Screw) – July 20, 1971 – November 16, 2000

R.I.P.

A combination of the words “screw” and “ruthless.” DJ Screw was ruthless in the studio, as he would stay up into the late hours of the night perfecting his work.

Even though the Chopped and Screwed movement was mainly confined to Texas and the South, DJ Screw was an internationally acclaimed pioneer. Artists from all over the country (and world) would have their tracks chopped up by the one and only DJ Screw. Screw’s fans in Houston who bought his tapes at 8 AM at the gates outside his house learned about a lot of new artists through Screw; thus, Screw was Houston’s musical gateway to the country, and vice-versa.

This means to say that DJ Screw and his click are so “Hollywood” (famous,) that they’re hogging the limelight. Trick is another word for “bitch,” and here Screw uses it for effect.

“Bosshog Corleone” is the nickname of Screwed Up Click member Mike D, hence the shootout and “straight hoggin.‘”

Pimp C was the first person to use the word “trill,” meaning true and real, an embodiment of the Houston M.O.

To be trill also means well-respected.

In addition to sippin' syrup and smoking weed, Lil Keke’s popping pills. However, he’s careful, because he doesn’t want to overdose.
