This may be actually a reference to Jerry Heller using candy as a way to lure “the little boy” Eazy E to his lair…a reference to pedophilia and, again, Eazy E’s small size
or this is a possible reference to the rumor that Suge Knight’s bodyguards forced Eazy-E to give up Dr. Dre’s and The D.O.C.’s contracts, threatening him with pipes and baseball bats.it makes more sense if you take the previous line into account.
It is also possibly a reference to BG Knocc Out at the same time, who at the time was only 17. This fits with both the earlier line which is a double entendre “And pass the bud and stay low-key, B.G. cause you lost all your homey’s love”, and Knocc Out being featured in the video in the form of a dwarf.

Nice wordplay with “Mach 4” and “mock for.”
- Mach 4 is a type of Gilette razor for shaving (it has 4 blades) while the Mach 3 only has 3 blades, so obviously it’s cheaper than Mach 4. Again, Shad doesn’t need luxury in his life.
- Shad doesn’t understand why he’s being mocked for having cheap tendencies.

Kris is also a nickname, since the letters “KRS” might sounds like “Kris” if an “i” is placed in between the word. Actually, his real name is Lawrence Krisna Parker, and people who know him call him Kris.
This line was censored on all releases, including explicit copies, so the song could be released as a single
