“Basketball wives” are, obviously, girls married to basketball players. Stereotypically, these girls are gorgeous.
Game is saying that, because of his size, he could easily get one of these basketball wives. However, he adds a little twist to it, instead of saying “marry”, he says he could screw a basketball wife. Obviously, he doesn’t want a serious relationship…

To “burn rubber” means to use a condom. Girls say they will love you if you screw them, but they just say this to get in your bed, which leads to the next line.
Many cops join the profession of law enforcement for the thrill of it. Many of them want to become undercover cops, because that is exciting. Game compares this to girls, because all they want to do is get “under covers”. Get it?

Hedo Turkoglu is a very fundamentally sound NBA player(hence the “boxing out” reference) who used to play for the Orlando Magic.
Hedo used to be a very good shooter for the Magic, just like Game is supposedly good at shooting his gun. He’s saying that his aim is magic.
Pretty complex wordplay, huh?

As we all know, Kanye West calls himself Mr. West in the song “Forever”. Game, however, being born on the west coast, doesn’t think that Kanye is hood enough to claim that name. He tells us this by saying that he actually needs to wear a bulletproof vest, because he is in the hood a lot, but Yeezy doesn’t need to.
Just another line to add onto the collection of Game disses on the ‘Ye/Jay duo…

A relatively common school yard name to call someone- albeit a lil' more hurtful than “stupid”, but, still, an elementary insult.
This ties in to the “school yard” theme of the last line, talking about cooties, then going to another school yard thing.
Cole just said that to point out the fact that life is ridiculously random, and anything can happen at anytime, just like he could say anything at anytime!
Note: the insult “African Booty Scratcher” got so big that a short film was made with that title!

Cole has a classic rags to riches story, which he tells throughout his songs: He grew up in the hood(The Ville), started rapping but didn’t tell anyone, put out some mixtapes, and got signed to Roc Nation.
He is speaking as if he was still in the past, before he “struck gold” in the rap game, but was still making some money(he worked many jobs before rapping). Although his family wasn’t exactly “well off”, they were still doing better than they used to.
