Usually cake (the food) is shared with many people at parties and happy occasions. But a lot of people, especially gangs in Chicago, focus on making sure only they get cake (money) even at the expense of others.

Common is saying that money should be treated like actual cake. Make sure everyone gets a piece.

Wordplay:

• Nigga selling on the block refers to the drug dealers who usually sell to their own neighborhoods.

• Nigga selling also refers to the time African-Americans were sold as slaves in slave auctions.

Common uses this simile to draw a parallel between the slavery of the drug game to actual slavery experienced by blacks in the 18th and 19th century.

206 is the area code in the U.S. state of Washington for Seattle where Sadistik is from.

• A eulogist usually talks about a deceased person. So Sadistik is just another unofficial rapper that’s rapping about his dead and lifeless city.

His anger and vices causes him to drink to calm down and forget. Tanqueray in a populat gin.

Sadistik begins to have a severe headache when they begin fighting and say mean things to each other(“heavy blows”).

One explanation is that everytime this girl walks away or out on Sadistik he feels as if every step she takes is painful as her stepping on his chest or heart.

Another explanation is that this girl is a metaphor for hip-hop game. Every song and beat he feels hits his heart. Could be referring to a song he can relate to or the heavy bass.
