In the previous line he states that he’s had enough, these lines are meant to be spoken from the perspective of one of Kendrick’s peers who, by continuing to drink once Kendrick has already reached his limit, pressure him into drinking more and thereby passing his limit. It’s not as much about Kendrick drinking to drown his problems as it is about Kendrick getting caught up in the pressure to drink excessive amounts (from his family and friends who drink to drown their own problems).

But the whole song is about the negative sides of drinking alcohol, so this new outro is linked to the previous line “just when I thought I had enough”, he constantly pours more liquor to drown in his problems

I'm a veteran, flowin' way colder than the seven seas Capital STEEZ – Capital STEEZ

The Seven Seas most likely refers to the original Seven Seas laid out by the Phoenicians. These include:

Alboran Sea
Balearic Sea
Ligurian Sea
Tyrrhenian Sea
Ionian Sea
Adriatic Sea
Aegean Sea

Like these seas flow their cold water into the Atlantic, STEEZ planned (RIP) to use his cold flow to make his way into the mainstream.

It's the Khan bitch, why you need a better reason? Capital STEEZ – Capital STEEZ

The khan is title given to rulers and officials in central Asia, Afghanistan, and certain other Muslim countries. The most notable example of the Khan were the Khagan

The early Khagans were:
Genghis Khan (1206-1277)
Ogedei Khan (1229-1241)
Guyuk Khan (1246-1248)
Mongke Khan (1251-1259)

Here STEEZ is saying that he is the king so he wonders why this girl is rejecting his advances.

Reeking the scent of a saint, sinners smell it then start squeezing Kendrick Lamar (Ft. BET) – BET BackRoom Freestyle

Genius Annotation 4 Contributors ?

What is this?

To learn more about participating in the Genius Editorial project, check out the contributor guidelines.

Kendrick was a good kid (Saint) and the haters or gang members (Sinners) didn’t like that and tried to shoot him. Alternatively, the Catholic Church preaches that saints have a certain odor which they call the odour of sanctity, a scent often compared to the smell of flowers. Kendrick smells of this and his opponents are compelled to have Kendrick push up daisies so to speak.

Notice the usage of alliteration with saint, sinners, smell, start and squeezing.

Stuck me up, and didn't hit a lick
Retaliated, had to bust off quick ScHoolboy Q (Ft. Ab-Soul) – Druggys wit Hoes Again

These lines are sexual innuendo. “Stuck me up” means he got a boner. “Hit a lick” describes how she licked it, while “had to bust off quick” means he nutted.

Also a double meaning, as “hitting a lick” also means to rob somebody. The robber being the “hitter” while the person getting robbed is known as the “lick.” Therefore, “stuck me up” could mean someone is trying to rob him, but couldn’t get the best of ol' Q.

This was actually the bridge in the first “Druggys Wit Hoes”. It’s a play off of the first song, hence the “again” in the title.

We had a deep discussion over Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay Capital STEEZ – Vibe Ratings

Genius Annotation 4 Contributors ?

To learn more about participating in the Genius Editorial project, check out the contributor guidelines.

Steez is questioning God on marvin GAY and chardonnay the wine (which is play on words with the single Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay”) as the actions are not justified (righteous) because why would god make wine but then say we cannot get drunk Ephesians 5:18, furthermore why would God create gay people but then say in the Bible that thou cannot be homosexual

Also the obvious reference to Big Sean’s Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay, as well as paying homage to the God Marvin Gaye.

OVER Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay; not about them. Meaning they were having an deep, intimate conversation.

The discussion isnt ABOUT Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay; rather in this situation, steez and god are having a formal talk (hence the Chardonnay) about something “deep”. We dont know exactly what they spoke of.

I actually think Steez is talking about a conversation or perhaps a first meeting he had with Issa Gold from The Underachievers (back then known as Issa Dash). Supposedly, Issa introduced the concept of Indigo children to Steez, who he himself thought he was one afterwards. Issa probably taught him a lot of ancient knowledge, spiritual and new age stuff as well. Issa believes he is an indigo and in a way some may interpret God to be inside of everything, including ones self (which is why Steez refers to Issa as God).

I know he’s talking about Issa because Issa really likes Marvin Gaye and his wine (I saw him drinking wine in an interview, assumption). Issa raps about Marvin Gaye in his songs and he shows his favorite bands here in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4nSoAYYnhE

Killers on side of me, privacy obviously was lost
For a piracy of the streets and my Odyssey Kendrick Lamar (Ft. BET) – BET BackRoom Freestyle

Genius Annotation 2 Contributors ?

What is this?

To learn more about participating in the Genius Editorial project, check out the contributor guidelines.

There are bad influences all around Kendrick. He is concerned that he is associating himself with too many killers and his privacy or in this case his innocence may be lost. This obviously references Homer’s classic The Odyssey

In the Odyssey Odysseus (in Roman Ulysses) and his men leave Troy and go to a city called Ismara where they pirate the village. Odysseus and his men kill the men and divide the women and treasure troves among themselves. When the Cicones (the surviving inhabitants of Ismara) returned back to their home they fought Odysseus and his men killing some of his partners. In this line Kendrick is comparing himself to Odysseus himself. Odysseus was an epic hero whose journey has been read by many. But at what cost? Kendrick is afraid he will succumb to the peer pressure some of his friends may place on him. As Odysseus quickly realizes Kendrick knows that if he starts on this downward spiral there will be no turning back and a vicious cycle will begin.
