Lo and behold, we have upon ourselves a quintuplet entendre! A line with five meanings.
“Forward progression is the only way to hater block/hate a block”
Looking from a person addicted to cocaine’s perspective, the only way they can get over their addiction (hate a block) is if they beat the addiction (forward progression.
As a kid you love building blocks, but as you get older you lose interest in them. It’s symbolic in that it represents creativity dying as you grow older.
Playing with the concept of a cocaine block again, this time from the dealers perspective, the only way you can truly not want to sell anymore (hate a block) is if you quit and realize there’s more to life than hustling (forward progression), because the things you will discover will make you realize that selling cocaine pales in comparison to what life is really about.
The original meaning to it – moving on forward and ignoring the critics is the only way to get the haters to stop talking.
Moving on (forward progression) is the only way to truly hate something that happened to you in the past, that prevented you from being happy then (the block). When you’re finally in that state where you’re okay with yourself again, and you look back on the bad times, you begin to REALLY hate the bad times because now that you can look at the past subjectively, you not only see the wrongs that they did, but the wrongs that you did too, and with that comes feelings of shame and hatred.

With all of the talent that Chris Webby flawlessly displays in his work, you’d think he would have been snatched up by some big name record labels such as Roc Nation, Shady Records, G.O.O.D Music or Grand Hustle.
But no, Webby remains unsigned, and true to his word: Other white rappers such as Mac Miller, signed to Rostrum Records, and Yelawolf, signed to Shady Records, have managed to been snatched up.
But Webby isn’t going unnoticed – he’s #15 in XXL’s Top 30 Independent Artists In The Game and managed to crash datpiff.com, a mixtape downloading site, twice.
Be patient Webby… your time is comin'! Personally, I think you’d fit in great with Grand Hustle Records, owned by rapper T.I, or with Roc Nation, owned by rapper Jay-Z

Chris Webby compares himself to the classic video game villain Bowser, a fire breathing reptile/dragon that constantly kidnaps Mario’s lover, Princess Peach
Both Chris Webby and Bowser breath fire – Bowser in the literal sense, and Webby in the sense that he is a very talented rapper.
Also, with the comparison to Bowser, who is a villain, Webby is also reminding us that he is still the Bad Guy of rap.

This is possibly a triple entendre from the young MMG signee.
One meaning can take this as due to all the work he’s doing, he’s drenched in sweat, and sweat has a pretty terrible odor, especially sweat drenched clothes.
Two, the “work” he’s referring to is the drug dealing business, something that Meek Mill used to be involved in. It’s a popular topic on the Dreamchasers mixtape. The term “work” for cocaine dealing was popularized by his fellow MMG member, Wale.
The third meaning is due to the success he’s currently experiencing thanks to his hard work, he’s able to afford expensive colognes, giving him a pleasant scent.
Lemme give you some advice, Milly. The ladies love Old Spice! Cheap and effective (just like your Mother!)

Vinnie Paz is known for his brutal rhyming subjects, and this is a perfect example of such a thing.
Lyrically and literally, this is what he’ll do if you fuck with him… or if he just feels like doing it to you, because shit like this comes easy to him.
Turban wraps are headgear that are primarily worn by people of the Muslim faith, which Vinnie Paz states the he is a part of.
The injuries that you’ll sustain in a fight/beef with Vinnie will be so great that the doctor will give you enough bandages to wear it resembles a turban wrap.
Doctors cover your head (your whole body including your head) with a sheet when you are dead – not a reference to being badly injured, it’s a reference to not surviving the encounter.
