Obviously, he isn’t talking about cheese as in cheddar, he means money. As portrayed in the bluegrass classic Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels, or, for hardcore hip-hop fans, Dance With the Devil by Immortal Technique, people are willing to do anything for, in this case, money. Oftentimes, they lose their moral compass

This song describes how a gold digger thinks: only happy when she gets the money/items she wants. Always asking for more and more, and when she doesn’t get it, she turns seductive. Obviously, not a pretty picture. (Except when your getting seduced)

Lupe Fiasco is one of those rappers who actually thinks politically and expresses his feelings about them, which is a rarity in this mainstream culture. Here, he’s saying that he’s thinking about Rodney King, who was beat by the LAPD, which is a civil right’s violation. Many believe this was a racist attack, and it outraged the African American community

keep in mind that rodney king got pulled over for speeding and running a red light while being under the influence

Lupe said “break fast/ slow my row like break pads” indicating that he needs to take precaution when portraying the virtues of a fasting life in the lime light. because the “niggas” who “runs the light” (gets the most exposure) are placed there only to display the fast life (fast women, fast money ect.) because this influence is effectively destroying the black community.

Then he said “cus if you run the light/ they might just stop you niggas” with Rodney king on my dome, i interpret this as if the black man gets so much momentum in portraying the virtues of a fasting life, that he ends up “running the light” under a influence that can help the black community, “They” (the racist police of the industry) will stop that “nigga” in his tracks, punish him in an injustice manner, and wont even get a smack on the wrist for it!
