Delta most likely refers to Louisiana, one of the three states that has the American Alligator as the state-reptile (along with Florida & Mississippi). Action’s girl is able to prepare exotic cajun foods for Bronson, including Alligator.

Pretty dope way of translating the way many feel about white rappers; that all those who came after Eminem impersonate him. Marshall’s alter ego is called Slim Shady after-all.
Mac described when he first met Em with VladTV
To be real, that was like, the only time I’ve ever been low-key,“ gushed Miller. "I was really smiley. I was like, ‘Woah, that’s Eminem,’ you know? He’s mad famous. I had a cast on at the time, if you didn’t know, I broke my hand, which is why I have a cosmetic deficiency in my knuckles for the rest of my life. So I was wearing my cast, and Em comes out, and he was super funny. He walks out and he’s like, so, what happened to your hand?‘ And I was like 'I broke it, I punched a door.’ And he was like, "That’s pretty fucking sweet.” And then we chopped it up for a little bit.
Mac also took inspiration from Slim’s cape in “Without Me” in his video for S.D.S.

In contrast to the previous line, Mac is pointing out how everything he had done in his life could lead him to the devil’s playground. However, he acknowledges that temptation (one of the most cited reason any religious person turns) is simply a train of thought, and no going through with said temptation means you will not go to hell (which is why it is vacant).
This may also be a subtle reference to his album cover for Watching Movies With The Sound Off.

The train is an iconic image. As in a lot of traditional, older material (and even some more modern), prisoners often leap out of bed or dropped what they’re doing when they hear or see something out of the ordinary. Since they live under the mandates of low stimulation, even a passing train can bring some much desired excitement.
The train in this song is close to the prison. The arrival of the train reminds the prisoner of his remove from the outside world – he feels as though he hasn’t even seen the sun.

Action and the rapper he gets compared to the most – Ghostface Killah – both have a love for colorful weapons. The multi-colored gat is consistent with Bronson’s personality, as he is outgoing and vibrant, but still willing to put down when need be.

Cash is insinuating that he would do anything for his love, even things that seem to defy human capabilities (which reversing the tide of an ocean certainly is).
Johnny was well known to be a man who would often hide emotions, he would rarely take credit for things (for example, he claimed that he wore black because that is the only colour all members of the Tennessee Three had). Here he is stating that she changes these emotions, he wants to flaunt his love.
