I'm pretty certain I'm the laziest person I know
I sit at home in the day with the curtains all closed
Just burnin' a roach, watchin' Murder She Wrote
'Cause I lost the remote and just search for it
So hard I'd rather sit and work for the show
Until it's over then it's Oprah? I prefer a good soap
Shit, I watch commercials and I purchase my phone
And then return it after thirty days, dirty and broke
I gotta leave these burgers alone
'Cause I've almost outgrown the only shirt that I own
Plus, I'm pretty sure that someone burgled my home
(No) I swear I had a girlfriend and some furniture though?
I'm broke dope rapper murder a flow
But it's so much work to go rehearse for a show
Shit, I used to do gigs and freestyle for two minutes
Lose interest and be home in bed before the tune finished
Illusionist at work, I had it good
Just stand in one spot at a job and try to look stressed
Yep, and that's the key to success
Success sucks PEZ, I couldn't give a fuck less
I'm feelin' the ceilin', I'm killin' these tracks
I just write the punchlines and PEZ fills in the gaps
Perhaps it's a fact that if I napped less
I'd have more time to practice and get my raps fresh 360 (Ft. PEZ & Seth Sentry) – Top Billin' [Freestyle]

Sam is commenting on how our use of technology is overriding our interaction with each other and because of how advanced we have become we are practically living in the future, where no one interacts with other humans, only with their gadgets.
“Just me and my personal computer” also ties into the chorus where “he only has sex with himself”, presumably using his personal computer for porn.

This verse seems to be aimed at religious people who live their lives by strict rules (“boring as bat shit”) in the hope that they’ll go to heaven (“You think you’ll end up in the sky”). He is curious of their beliefs, possibly because a lot of these people can also be the most judgemental/intolerant of the way others choose to live.
Sam is saying he’d rather these people pour there enthusiasm into what they know is real, living right here right now.
But it's lighter than you think like Michael Jackson's kids 360 (Ft. Lunar C) – Sixavelli

Double entendre on the word ‘lighter’.
- In relation to physical weight
- In relation to the tone of colour of an object
Michael Jackson once had darker skin but now has much lighter skin due to a disease named Vitiligo.
Possibly also a reference to when Michael Jackson held his baby son over the edge of a balcony and defended it by saying he was light and never could have dropped him.

Yella is building/making something off of rap now instead of just doing it for the sake of it, he’s building a career.
This was well before Kendrick said:
In fact:
It was 2 years before. Kendrick’s verse on Pusha T’s song – “Nosetalgia”, it was released in 2013, while Yelawolf’s song – “Hard white” was rleased in 2011

Keeping with the theme of this girl being like a drug, 50 calls her “my Mary Jane” which is also a common slang term for Marijuana. ‘'My old flame’‘ refers to the literal meaning of a flame being used to smoke, but an ’‘old flame’‘ is also an idiom that refers to a person who you once had a romantic relationship with in the past.
50 also references “A Baltimore Love Thing” where he raps from the point of view of heroin tying in with the theme of the song.

I thought you had a Tomahawk 60!? At least that’s what he had in the first verse. He’s moved on from small axes to big knives now it seems.
60 is going to connect all your freckles and spots in a similar fashion of connect the dots puzzles, except with a machete instead of a pencil.
Reference to the previous line where 60 says he doesn’t remember a lot from popping ecstasy. He forgot he said that he had a tomahawk, now he has a machete.
