Kevin is referring to himself as a “G”, or gansta. He’s sneaking in your door because he wants to have sex with your girlfriend.

Also a joke because th G in Gnapoor is silent.

A reference to the song “C.R.E.A.M.” from Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Interesting Note - This reference to C.R.E.A.M. is executed in exactly the same way as Biggie does in his song “Who Shot Ya?”, which was released a year or so before Criminology. This is odd since on the track “Shark Niggas (Biters)” Rae and Ghost diss him, which led to a short beef.

This is also a reference to the movie Scarface, which is also sampled in the song’s intro, where Omar Suarez is thrown off an airplane and hung by his neck.

Method Man created the acronym for C.R.E.A.M.

Biggie Smalls album “Ready to Die” had only one guest appearance which was Method Man on The What.

They stay clean (fresh), but they get dirty (commit crimes, rob banks, smoke weed, whatever). Dirty Harry is a crime film from 1971

His “upstairs” is referring to his head, or more specifically the mind. He’s saying that he’s crazy because his thoughts don’t correspond with a normal person’s.

The second part of this line, “who the fuck cares?” actually demonstrates his inability to think straight, since he’s dismissing the very fact that he’s crazy as something unimportant. Therefore he doesn’t care, but a whole lot of ducks do.

Marked this as missing something?

While his upstairs refers to his head and his mental state, this line can also serve as a double entendre for a drug deal or a heist, as he is promising his victim that it is there but in reality it is not.

This line is not and cannot be misconstrued as a double entendre.

Frequently misheard as “energy building” (a mistake that made it into Yale’s Anthology of Rap), this is actually a reference to Brooklyn’s infamous G Building, the psychiatric ward of Kings County Hospital.

During ODB’s drunken appearance on Yo! MTV Raps, Ed Lover asked him what the G building was. He replied:

See, the creation of everything that started from the origin of rap, y'know, you had, y'know, people that was… not like me. That’s why they stay in the G building – because I only roll with crazy people, I only battle crazy people. So when I said the G building… I just said the G building.

The G Building has since been closed amid allegations of physical and sexual abuse and a death in the waiting room.
