Likely a reference to Tom Clancy’s novel The Sum of All Fears and/or the subsequent movie. The sum of all fears is essentially the worst case scenario or greatest fear. In that case, it was terrorists and a nuclear war. “Terrorist Threats” anyone? The novel begins with a Winston Churchill quote:
Why, you may take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together – what do you get? The sum of their fears.
Soul Khan also referred to The Sum of all Fears, and Soulo did before on Kendrick Lamar’s “West Coast Wu-Tang”:
Y'all don’t want nothing, the sum of all fears
Mercury rising, I’m summer all year
It’s been suggested that:
- ‘i’ represents a billion, so three billion would represent HiiiPoWeR and thus the crew everyone’s afraid of, Black Hippy. The fourth ‘i’, would be another fear, the i(eye) on the dollar bills.
- If Soulo’s one, then with the three that makes Black Hippy.
- A billion and three (four billion) is approximately four billion years of life on Earth. So he’s the sum of all fears ever felt.
Just comedy, or a parody

“Str8/Tr8” and “Y pree?” are popular slang in Jamaica and undoubtedly in Canada as well. The former is a stylized version of “straight”, often used as a term of affirmation and the latter is simply asking why people are watching the moves he makes so intently.
Vybz Kartel had a big part in popularising the latter phrase with “World Boss (Y Pree).”
Pree – To watch or study something or someone, like to stare at someone and watch their every move.

Michael Kors is a moderately priced designer label, it’s not nice enough for Pusha to buy for a girl. He’d rather a Rolex.
There is also a big chance that this is a play on Kanye’s line from “Cold:”

Also demonstrates just how cold and og Pusha is, you will never catch him splashing out on females. This could also be an shot at simp or soft guys who buy girls things for their affection. An example would be Drake who specified buying a Michael Kors bag for a female on ‘From Time’. It is very possible this lyric is directed at Drake following their previous history (Exodus 23:1) and Pusha’s recent admission he has listened to ‘Nothing was the same’

There’s also a chance that this is a lowkey shot at Drake, who specifically copped to buying a girl a Michael Kors bag in ‘From Time’ on ‘Nothing Was the Same’.
