Clever wordplay, possibly a baseball reference, since he’s “throwing” his game at her.

A synopsis is a brief outline/summary of any subject, so what he may be referring to is that instead of dispersing words randomly all over a verse he’s able to condense it and make way more sense.

To be cooped means to be trapped in, like chickens on a farm, so he’s comparing them to being trapped in this typical daily grind.

Could also be interpreted as “The streets recruit fiends”

I always thought he said “The streets are coupe fiends”, and seeing as how a coupe is an expensive car, I thought he meant that everyone who’s on the “ street” wants to be able to buy expensive things.

Due to Joey’s unique and complex sound it’s natural newer listeners/fans of his music to want to know who Joey Bada$$ is. He is just a kid who blows (puffs, smokes, etc..) loud (marijuana, weed, etc..) on his block.

This line and the lines that follow, are referring back to Joey’s wisdom beyond his years that he always brings up. Puffing enough herb is saying he’s been around long enough, and he is wise enough to know not to listen to the young girls, and stupid boys that tell him things. He has too many things in his mind, he doesn’t need to stress out over what it’s like when he gets his “shine” he’s fine with where he’s at.

Respect to Joey.

Typical entrance lines for a rapper to introduce themselves and throw braggadocio-type lines about how heroic their flow is.

Joey is explaining his reason for picking rapping as a potential career.

And that he hopes to be alive by 25 even though, admittedly, New York is not that dangerous these days and has calmed down a lot since the 70s-90s era.
