The Lord’s blessings leave me lyrically inclined
Shit I ain’t even got to try to shine
Notice how 50 raps this similar to what Pharrell does on the hook of “I Just Wanna Love You (Give It 2 Me)”. 50 realized talking shit on the mic is far more lucrative than selling dope, so pokes fun at the small-time hustlers still in the streets.

Fiddy was arrested in 2002 after cops found 2 loaded handguns in a bulletproof Jeep Cherokee he was riding to a performance. So there may be more truth to this line than you originally thought.
A Glock is a semi-automatic pistol, designed and produced by Glock Ges.m.b.H., a Austrian manufacturer. It has been used by the Austrian military and police service since 1982. A M1, on the other hand, is a semi-automatic carbine that was used by the U.S. military during the second World War and during the Vietnam War. It has also been a popular civilian firearm.
