He’s comparing his labelmates/supergroup to a dragon, considering they all spit hot fire. Jay Rock is the silent assassin, capable of murdering the beat with precision when you least expect it.

Jay usually raps straight-forward and heavy, yet keeps it moderately simple and normally won’t display his lyricism, so most were surprised by this verse. He doesn’t always feel the need to prove his worth, he waits for the right opportunity and doesn’t waste anyone’s time.

This could also be interpreted as in they way of Rock not honing as much publicity as the rest of the crew does. While they all do interviews and have a very large public presence, Jay Rock just kind of keeps dormant, but he proves in this verse that he can stunt as well as anyone else without having that kind of presence.

Royce is on fire, metaphorically of course. Royce is on “fire”, and is challenging one of you to try to douse him, which refers to pouring liquid over an actual fire. So, he is asking you metaphorically if you can stop him from being so hot with the rhymes.

He’s still in his early 20s but he still looks younger than that so everywhere he goes they need to see ID to prove he’s at a legal age, also, this could be interpreted as a double entendre.

Meek is saying that he’s young to be killing everyone in the game, so they all want assurance that he’s qualified to be eatin' this well.

To Johnny, sometimes destroying yourself is fun and exciting because he gets to have the thrill of the drugs or whatever he is doing in the meantime.
