A reference to the previous king of the castle line (Genghis Khan was a Mongolian conqueror and with his power if he had a mansion, it would definitely be a castle).
Alternatively, this may mean the complete opposite: Khan was nomad, so he lived in a tent, and likely would’ve found a castle confining. Like Genghis, Hodgy doesn’t care for big ass mansions that other wealthy musicians call their homes. This line also refers to Odd Future being the hip-hop equivalent of Marilyn Manson, who has gained controversy over his extreme, yet though-provoking music. He was even blamed for Columbine.
Genghis Khan was also known for fucking a lot of bitches

An example of Tom’s self-deriding humor – always making jokes about how shitty his band is. His girl is always at his shows watching sympathetically at how terrible Blink performs.
Commiserating according to Google:
Express or feel sympathy or pity; sympathize
In live versions, he replaces commiserating with masturbating. It’s quite hilarious.
