Yeah, I appreciate your patience tonight
It's been a moment since I've done some public speaking
I find nowadays it's just best to keep quiet
But uh, sometimes you just gotta let it out
Young Angel and Young Lion
You know what it is

Look, I'm the property of October
I ain't drive here, I got chauffeured
Bring me champagne flutes, Rose and some shots over
I think better when I'm not sober
I smoke good ain't no glaucoma, I'm a stockholder
Private flights back home, no stop over
Still spitting that shit that they shot Pac over
The shit my mother look shocked over
Yeah, but with a canvas I'm a group of seven
A migraine, take two Excedrin
I'm the one twice over, I'm the new eleven
And if I die I'm a do it repping, I never do a second
I swear niggas be eyeing me all hard
And lying to they girls and driving the same cars
Sitting there wishing they problems became ours
Cause we have nothing in common since I done became star
I done became bigger swerving writing in my peer's lane
Same dudes that used to holler my engineer's name
One touch I could make the drapes and the sheers change
And show me the city that I without fear claim
What I set seems to never extinguish
Coolest kid out baby, word to Chuck Inglish
Count my own money, see the paper cut fingers
My song is your girlfriend's waking up ringer
Heh, or alarm, or whatever
She be here at six in the morn if I let her
But I never get attracted to fans
Cause the eager beaver could be the collapse of a dam Horseshoe G.A.N.G – Julius & Kenny

When Julius is having sex with a woman, his dick is as hard as iron. He uses this to make a play on Tony Stark, who is the true identity of Iron Man in the Marvel comics.
Even if I'm gettin' dome yo, better believe it's gonna be pro bono Horseshoe G.A.N.G – Climb On My Pole

As you should have noticed by now, the re-occurring theme throughout each verse is that Horseshoe Gang does not have to pay to get the ladies. Everything they get the ladies to do for them comes pro bono, aka voluntarily!

Julius was never enrolled in school, likely because his mother couldn’t afford it. There may have been times where he had to dodge truant officers who could be a potential threat to take him and his brothers away from their mother, and start their journey into the education system.

Dope wordplay!
First off, if you are in the same boat as someone, that means you are going through similar situations or experiences. While your ship may literally be sinking, Horseshoe Gang’s boat is sailing away into the sunset.
Also, notice the homophone between sail and sale/sell. The ship’s are the metaphor, but in the literal sense, they believe that their peers' careers will flop/sink, while they will succeed and sell a lot of albums.
