“Brolic” is a slang term for muscular, bodacious, and buff.
Fashawn is saying right here that he may be a skinny rapper around 160 pounds,
But when he be on the microphone, he feels his words make him achieve higher and bigger things, thus making him feel “brolic”, or just bigger, metaphorically.

In the midst of talking about the conflicting aspects of the world, such as riches and racism, Fashawn references Conlict Diamonds, or Blood diamonds diamonds that were mined more particularly in Africa, or even more specifically, Sierra Leone or Liberia.
This is a subject that causes much controversy, because of the way they were mined for warlords and traded for weapons to use for insurgency, or an armed rebellion against authority. They used them to seduce women, or to even start armies of child soldiers.
Fashawn considers these efforts to be all in vain, and unnecessary for the enslaved workers to have to suffer in order for people to have a ring on your finger.

A very interesting line. A reference to the idiom,
these two birds refer to a greater advantage that is harder to attain, and Johnny here is getting quite frustrated that he cannot attain his dreams, so he might kill them for mocking him. The mocking bit in this line refers, ironically, to a type of bird called a Mockingbird,
that are greatly known for their mimicking habits, often to cause irritation to some.

Throughout the years, people have been very good to other people with differentiating cultures and customs.
We haven’t really shown much patience towards the people that we don’t share much in common with, and Johnny says here sarcastically that he wants to give the world a cookie for being riddled with bigotry.

A “bigot” is someone who is intolerable to differentiating opinions and sticks to the prejudices that they believe in.
Johnny thinks that everyone always claims to not be a racist, but in no way do people, no matter who you are, NOT discriminate against somebody, even if they are of the same race as you, you can hate people for tons of things.
But also means I’ll have to water down my rappin some. Johnny Polygon – Man Without A Country

A reference to Lorenzo Neal,
also a wordplay on kneel/Neal
