The second half of the hook references the last line of Andre’s last verse in “Elevators (Me & You).”

Symbiotes are two separate organisms that bond in a way that allows both to gain something from the other (i.e. clownfish and anemones).

Playing off the 2 Chainz pun in the previous line, Phonte references the rapper’s popular song, “Spend It.”

A pun involving 2 Chainz and literally being chained to two things like a slave. Tigallo creates music for working class people who love music, somewhat a reflection of him. Like he says in “Dance in the Reign:”

And I do this all for hip-hop
I’m lyin' like shit
I do this shit for my goddamn mortgage nigga
And my bills, who the fuck am I foolin'

Lou Rawls was a very popular Soul singer during the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Liu Kang is a character from the Mortal Kombat universe who does a flying bicycle kick as one of his special moves.

Phonte uses the two to show off his versatility. Along with being a great rapper who can spit rhymes with the best of them, he is also a gifted singer. He sings in the duo The Foreign Exchange. He has even created satirical and parodic music as his cheesy alter ego Percy Miracles.

The South has been criticized for many years for helping popularize dance-focused, bass-heavy tracks that lack of lyricism and creativity (i.e. “snap music”).

Hip Hop snobs (“backpackers”) need to “loosen the straps” on their backpacks, or stop being so close-minded about their opinions on what hip hop is.

Tito is satisfied with what he has but knows he can achieve more. This is also a reference to Fabolous and Lil' Mo who collaborated a few times in the early 2000s.
