AK is a reference to an AK-47 gun which is a selective-fire, gas-operated 7.62×39mm assault rifle, first developed in the Soviet Union.
The use and mention of AK-47 or sometimes just called AK’s became more prevalent in the late 90’s and early 00’s especially in Hip Hop music and in the hood. This is a dangerous aspect of ghetto living that Trick never really saw and didnt have to deal with as a kid but it is now very prevalent in his old neighborhoods and kids are being exposed to guns at a younger age

“The land of the frozen sun” is a poetic epithet for Chicago; he proudly represents his hometown on many tracks, which includes another track on this album, “Chi-City”.
Common feels blessed that, out of all the talented dudes in Chicago, he was “the chosen one” in the sense of being the first from Chi-town to really blow up (being selected as “Unsigned Hype” in the 25th edition of The Source, a magazine that launched many major rap careers) and become one of the most prominent hip-hop artists in hip-hop.

Kendrick is referencing nuns to lead into his line about god blessing his tongue because before he can be blessed by god he must be accepted by the church or by nuns in order to be accepted in the eyes of the lord.
Nuns dedicate their lives to a life of poverty, chastity, and obedience in order to serve the lord and pray. Therefore people look upon nuns along with priests as their voice line or messengers to god.
