Cheetah’s are the cute felines of Africa that are also the world’s fastest land animal. By “spot me”, Action can mean:

• This can be talking about how cheetah have dark spots on their fur.

Action is using a play on words between “weak”, and “week”, which is used as a measure of date on the calendar that is equal to 7 days just in case there are some Rap Geniuses out there that don’t use the Gregorian Calendar.

Usually surfing is done on water.

But Action is talking about the crowd surfing that goes on during concerts.

However, I think if fans saw Bronsolino go to crowd surf, they might piss themselves.

Visit you maker is just another way of using the phrase “meet your maker”. If someone meets their maker, they die.

Fire & Brimstone is a reference to the tradition of cremating someone after they die. During cremation, body is burned down to dry bone. It is usually done for religious purposes or so the body can be rid of quickly instead of over time.

Along with cremation, fire and brimstone is also a visualization of hell. In Christianity, hell is described as a place of fire and brimstone.

Revelation 21:8 says:

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Reference to the Hall Of Fame Baseball Players Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra. They both played for the New York Yankees for most of their careers (Mickey played for NYY his entire career.).

Mickey Mantle played 18 seasons as a centerfielder. He is regarded as many to be the greatest switch hitter of all time along with being one of the best baseball players of all time. He was noted for his hitting ability, both contact and power. He even obtained the Triple Crown in 1956, which is regarded as one of the most prized and most difficult feats in baseball. Only happening 17 times in MLB history.

Yogi Berra was a catcher and outfielder. He spent most of his career with the Yankees, but had a 1-year tenure with the New York Mets.

He was known for being great at hitting; being able to hit what are considered “poor pitches” with his great bat control and extension.

Murs doesn’t think that they should’ve got into the relationship in the first place since it tore them and their friendship apart.
