His 16-bar raps are enough to make him rich.

Also, since we know Wiz just loves weed sooo much, the 16’s could also refer to 16 ounces, or 1 pound, of weed. That’d put a decent chunk of a money into a bank account.

Lupe warns that the act of hating is comparable to a disease that can kill someone mentally and emotionally, since they are constantly focused on negativity and hurting others.

In typical Lupe-fashion, Lupe uses wordplay to add multiple meanings to these lines.

  • Lupe references the television show, Deadliest Catch, which documents the events on different crab fishing boats out at sea.

  • “Crabs” is slang for “Crips”. The line also implies a car (i.e. “bucket”) full of Crips trying to talk him into going back to the gangsta ways of his past.

  • Crabs in a bucket is a reference to what crabs do when they’re in a bucket. Literally. Try to get out, and the others pull them down.

  • Like hating, crabs is also the name of an STD and not lethal.

Hollow tip bullets flatten upon impact, thus damaging more area than a regular bullet.

If your water bed is actually wet you should either:
A) Get the leak fixed
B) Stop wetting the bed!

Water beds are not actually wet! Except on the inside, which is filled with water…

The line, at any rate, refers to Lil Wayne’s Tec-9 fire, and the subsequent bloody mess when it hits his target. Blood is wet, water is wet, both are inside things (bodies, water beds), and so a comparison can be drawn between the two.
