Oddisee left his home to go to big cities, which are always talked up as being the place to be if you want to make it big (such as heading to Los Angeles for the music/movie business).
These places are usually said to be the place where dreams are made true, so he figured that he might as well go there if he wants to make it big.

To relax on weekends, a lot of people in the US like to sit back and relax by the pool (if they have one) and have a barbecue with their friends. Since Oddisee wrote his verse while “chilling”, it only makes sense that his verse would exemplify the feeling of being laid back.
