Asher uses hockey analogies because they relate to line above about getting checked, like in the sport.

Asher Roth compares himself to the Rap version of Wayne Gretzky, who by the way is one of the greatest hockey player’s to ever set foot on the ice, because Roth thinks he’s the best to set foot into the booth.

Also, by saying he’s only 22, he also compares himself to another young phenom, the electrifying NHL russian superstar Alexander Ovechkin.

Finally, it’s no wonder he brings up the comparison with The Great One as Roth looks much like his NHL counterpart.

“Have a ball,” coming from the time where classy dances were referred to as balls, means to have a good time. Presumably, to have two balls is double the fun. Also a play on words, meaning to grow some balls and stand up for what’s right.
The line about the government brings another meaning to the statement: I’m going to have fun/do what’s right (maybe both at once) even if the people in power don’t think I should. Which, apparently, they don’t
