“Mi casa, su casa” is Spanish for “My house [is] your house” and conveys a sentiment of “what’s mine is yours”.
This line begins to hint at Gambino’s tendency to incentivize his friends in to staying around his house, as is expressed in the questioning about paying for friends in the next few lines.
The word “stripping”, besides the obvious sexual reference, refers to the Gaza Strip, a self-governing area, inhabited by Arab Palestinians, in-between the borders of Egypt and Israel. There is a slight social commentary, highlighting the turbulent conflict between Israel and Palestine, over the charges that each group wrongly occupies the other’s homeland.
This isn’t the first time he’s referenced the Gaza in one of his lyrics. “Mi casa, su casa” also echoes lyrics recorded by Yeezy from a line on “I Am A God”.

Bino and other stars blow their money on useless things like John Coltrane (the legendary jazz musician) used to blow into a saxophone.
Coltrane also picked up an addiction to “blow” (cocaine) in the mid-1950’s, which adds meaning to this line.

Erykah Badu is an R&B / HipHop signer with an amazing flow and sound. Gambino is suggesting that by sleeping with her, he can pick up a few pointers. This also isn’t the first time he has mentioned Ms. Badu.
Erykah Badu has slept with 3 legendary rappers: Common, Andre 3000, and Jay Electronica. Either she’s attracted to good rappers or she makes them better.
He’s saying he’s getting onto their level.
Erykah inadvertently (?) responded to this…
