Nas’s comparison of NYC to Rikers Isle gets at the turmoil present in both environments. There’s police brutality and there are never enough ambulances and EMT’s.

Nas himself has referenced to the place occasionally over his career, even with his classic song “One Love.”

In Nagano, Japan, there is a Buddhist temple called Zenkō-ji. The temples hosts a Buddha statue that is barred from being viewed by anyone. Maybe that’s the one Bronson speaks of.

Budai (fat Buddha) is husky, Bronson is husky. Game recognize game. You know how it goes down.

The weak people around her need to step up their game before they step to Gita.

If they don’t, they should keep their day job.

KRIT’s economic well-being (slice of the economic pie) is so small it almost doesn’t matter. For another riff of the economic/ American pie trope, see this Jay-Z line from “Made In America.”

Yet, KRIT really wants nothing to do with the American vision of success, since his grandmother, who he’s spoken of in song before, didn’t bake that pie.

KRIT has to be vigilant on his best behavior (his P’s and Q’s when he’s riding around with a gun (tool) in his antique Cadillac.

He totes chrome because some people resort to crime to get money if their community lacks jobs.

As Rick Ross said

Bein' dead broke is the root of all evil.

With this line, KRIT ceases his singing, and gets back to his main point.

KRIT is down to pleasure some young ladies if they’ll attend his concerts and support him (calling out to him from the stand).

Previously, on the song “Amtrak,”, KRIT uses the metaphor of a train coming down the tracks to symbolize the “pimpin'” that he has in store for some fine mammajammas. It’s seems he’s upgraded to an plane.

They want to know if he can sing, which he does to appeal to them.

KRIT then refers to his previous song “Highs And Lows”. Singing through life’s highs and lows might suggest that KRIT has a persistent hopefulness.

Another ode to how fly a rapper is, but KRIT makes it unique by mentioning the feeling of being high in the media’s eyes and having visions of grandeur. The visions manifest in him envisioning that he’s piloting a plane (he’s fly).

Also, his saying that he’s “too hard to be crushed,” he could pointing back to his “drink on ice.” Ya know, crushed ice and whatnot.

All these terms allude to the track’s title “Sky Club”, which is the private club Delta Air Lines operates at certain airports
