400$ a zip (ounce) is not standard – a good quality ounce on the street will cost about $250. Wiz only smokes the finest OG Kush, so naturally, he pays almost double what you can afford. You aren’t really high…

Malice’s new girl is a goldigger, and in order for her to get money she’s got herself a rapper for a boyfriend (Malice). Malice, knowing she’s a goldigger, is cool with it and mocking her a bit by praising her for her taste in rappers.

Malice pulls out another classic Jay-Z reference, this time to “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem).” Just like Malice, Jay-Z is all about recognizing a woman working her way up the ladder.

I flow for chicks wishin'
They ain’t have to strip to pay tuition

This line serves as a double entendre. Not only can she afford to eat the finest dishes with his child support, but “eating” in hip-hop is a term for wealth – she’s swimming in dough!

Smart way to stay down on the beat with the flow by saying “kid, plural” instead of just saying “kids” (plural). Possible also a reference to the fact that “Patients” is plural. Wayne has a history of dropping plurals and making mistakes, using the following line to clean them up.

You might wanna fall back like August
Or late September whatever you call it

This also relates to the next line, where he talks about Kanye West. The year before that, Kanye dropped the album Graduation.

Likewise, Wayne actually graduated high school with a GED. If he can do it, so can the kids.

A reference to the Rwandan genocide

The majority Hutus used propaganda like calling the minority Tutsi inyenzi (cockroach in Kinyarwandan), encouraging war rape and giving specific instructions about how to murder Tutsis

When the militia became activated to retaliate for Tutsi killings, Over 300,000 Hutus were mobilized to commit Rwandan genocide. Clipse views that as “rolling deep”, namely, being protected by how many people show loyalty to your gang.

In an additional twist, “you cockroaches” is a reference to Scarface killing communists while in a detention camp. Communists had power in Cuba, but when powerful people are stuck in the masses, they end up dead.

Wiz smokes a lot of weed and stays high, but don’t get it wrong: he’s always after money. Mozzarella is good cheese, and cheese is cash – he wants the real flow.
