The bitch in you, it's comin' out (BITCH!) Common – The Bitch In Yoo

He is just straight up calling Ice Cube a bitch here. He is saying whenever cube tries to “speak his mind” common can tell he is lying and he only comes off like a little bitch.

The lyrics to “I Used to Love H.E.R.” do not even mention cube, NWA, or westside connection in any kind of negative annotation. They just discuss the evolution of hip hop as a whole and cube got offended that when common talks about the west coast he discusses her becoming more hood and less pro-black movement which is true. Cube and everything in hip hop he was ever been associated with always had a ghetto/hood aspect to it.

Two step with me, let me show you how it goes
The Murcielago, lemme show you how it roll

Instead of coming off as corny by saying, “Walk with me,” he keeps things casual and gangster by asking that she two-step with him (Gs keep things simple).

As part of Buck’s invitation to see how a true player lives, he is offering to show her his garage, which includes a Lamborghini Murciélago, a luxury sports car, and a Bentley Continental GT (pictured below), a one-of-a-kind grand tourer.

Although the Bentley was bought with 50’s own money and given to Buck as a gift, Buck’s assuring this girl that he owns it; he won’t have to return it.

This is also a reference to his lines from his song “Hold U Down” where he had already mentioned that 50 Cent bought him the Bentley

They think that I’m jokin' until they see the Bentley white smokin'
Damn right I’m a star
50 bought it but it’s still my car

Redman references Absolut vodka, which is usually 80 proof and gives the drinker a burning sensation in their throat and chest.

“Burn to the roots” could also mean he smokes weed (“burns trees”) from end to end.
