Back in November, Meek publicly offered to battle Cassidy for $100,000 while talking about his battle rap bona fides:

You gotta have a hundred [thousand dolloars] or better. I can’t do it for free. That ain’t my lane…I think I’d [match up] Cassidy and [Murda] Mook right now. That’d be crazy right there. I’d do Cassidy and Mook. … Cassidy ain’t been in a battle but everybody knows, Cassidy, that’s what he do"

Cass agreed to the challenge, but Meek backtracked from his initial statement, claiming that he initially said he wanted to see Cassidy and Mook battle each other. Here, Meek doubts that Cassidy would even have that kind of money in the first place.

Finn told NPR that he wasn’t quite sure of the legal terminology when first writing this song:

As I got to the chorus, the ‘subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis,’ I had to call a friend of ours who’s a lawyer to make sure I was using the words correctly

The words, of course, mean that the narrator was in Texas, where he was handed a writ requiring him to appear for questioning in Memphis, Tennessee, the site of his liaison with the girl in question.
