Following stating life he states death.
Telling you that if your mind chases spiritual gold and becomes elevated in consciousness your soul will live forever in another plane.

AK’s saying that your hating because he has your girl copying his every whim on beat like a metronome.

A metronome is a device that produces regular, metrical ticks(beats, clicks) — settable in beats per minute. These ticks represent a fixed, regular aural pulse; some metronomes also include synchronized visual motion.

Metronome

Might be a small double entendre:

• Every time he spits a new track (record) is made
• Every time he raps there is literally a new record set

Ironically Issa tired of the slums of NY takes a trip to the West side. He’s also calling his team the best boast because they smoke the best weed.

Issa’s dreams are now reality with his mass amount of success.

What it is what you want kid, the classic ghetto rock Hip-Hop full of passion and love, STAND UP!

This is a continuation of the previous lines. Now that children develop their bad eating habits; their blood pressure reaches astounding height’s that otherwise would never be reached or at least at a much later age.

Kind of ironic with Rick Ross on the track huh?

Lupe, however, is in his early 30’s (as of 2013 he is 31), but he is still in a good physical shape and has good health. He’s a contradiction to the typical person who normally isn’t in good health by this age.

All of this is basically plays into the good/poor decisions thing. Lupe makes the right choices. Even with food.

Here Lupe states maybe he could make a part 2 that would state a more postive outcome for the people who make decisions, the people who make decisions that get them ahead in life.

But considering this is Lupe….he might be stating here that he’s throwing out the idea of actually continuing Food and Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt.1 and could make Pt.2.

Of course as you remember he canceled it, and considering Lupe with his statement’s (ahem retiring cough) I doubt it could mean much.

In a game of cards each person is dealt a specific collection of cards, called “hand”. Here the hand is being compared to the talents and abilities that you inherit at birth.

Some people use their surroundings as an excuse not to make something out of their lives. They focus the negative without realizing that they too have abilities (whole hand) that they could be utilized to make a better life.

Going back to the previous lines, the “bull” could also be the system, that puts down the people and denies them a well suited job even if they have the adequate skills (the whole hand).

In a clever line using both the literal and figurative meanings of bullshit, Lupe argues that this is straight up bs, coming directly from the source.

Also, bullshit is the name of a card game, where every time someone suspects you of bluffing your cards, they say “bullshit”. Lupe is really going crazy with these card references.

More of the cards metaphor. In poker folding is giving up the game prematurely.

Lupe is saying that if you hold strong with what you have you’ll never be brought down.

Also, Lupe pronounces “close” like “clothes”, which is a play on the word “fold”, and ties into the previous line about keeping out the cold, since clothes keep us warm.
