Mad scientists are usually found in the lab experimenting on things. Soul, like the scientist, is in the “lab”, or studio, making raps about his life (a chemical reaction to the world)
Soul uses wordplay here:
Soul is wearing Gucci sunglasses and is carrying a Louis Vuitton bag full of bags of kush. It may seem like he’s a dealer because of all the weed he’s got, but it’s all for him
An homage to Biggie’s classic line on “Notorious Thugs”
I'mma tell you like a nigga told me
Cash rules everything around me
Cream and green are both references to money
At 12 o'clock both the hands on a clock are pointing up. Ab-Soul wants you to mimic a clock if you feel the same way
Macaulay Culkin is the star of the Home Alone series and this girl, similar to Macaulay in the series, is home alone
Soul doesn’t exist with the “status quo” meaning he doesn’t follow it or believe in it
A “silencer” is placed at the end of a gun to lessen the sound of it being fired. You wouldn’t realize this girl “pussy pops” because she does it “on the low”
French’s roof of his car drops like how Manny Pacquiao’s body dropped when he got knocked out in his famous fight against Juan Manuel Marquez
This knockout became so popular that the image was altered and made into a meme
