Kendrick references Future’s 2011 single “Same Damn Time,” which spawned countless remixes. The irony is that “your girl” is also “your world” if she means everything to you.
This isn’t the first time Kendrick used this metaphor. For instance, on 2012’s “Backseat Freestyle” he said:
I pray my dick get big as the Eiffel Tower
So I can fuck the world for seventy-two hours
But this long-dick nigga ain't for the long talkin' A$AP Rocky (Ft. 2 Chainz, Drake & Kendrick Lamar) – Fuckin' Problems

Lu is referring to the teardrop tattoo here, which has many meanings, but they all come back to violence, in one way or another.
Knowing that, Lupe uses the contradicting connotations of “tears” (violence/sadness) to illustrate that the youth are probably trying to hide or express their sadness through acting out in violence.
The successive line is referring to how Lupe is going to act as a lighthouse (the beamin' light, if you will) for those kids who think they are trapped in their “tattoo-tears world”; if they are lost at sea (metaphorically speaking), he is going to save them through his positive lyrics.
