Crooked I, whose real name is Dominick, is describing himself in this song. He doesn’t try to dress unconventionally and talk in a different manner to gain notoriety or attention.
Yeah man, I remember back when a nigga ain't had no money for studio time barely. No muhfuckin' beats, we made our own beats and shit, no producers, we be like, hahah. Nigga would do anything he had to do to get at this hip-hop shit man, anything, know what I'm sayin'? Start beating on the mic like this, for the drum you know, that's the mic. Niggas would rap about some shit they never even fuckin' had, we wanted that shit though. We be like: "Ridin' on some big wheels, bank account 6 mil. Livin' on the street called life, and I'm on that bitch heel." Even though we ain't have no of that shit back then, but we do know though, let me get back at it Crooked I – Sumthin' from Nuthin

Crooked I describes when he began to start rapping and how he was hungry to get the riches and wealth that came from being an emcee. He would rap about things he didn’t have at the time, usually about wealthy possessions and large sums of money. Now at this point in his career, he does have the wealth he once dreamed of acquiring.
A cliche rags to riches story by one of the game’s best lyricists.

People usually don’t kill for no reason, they have a purpose for doing so, such as self-defense, hate for others, self-loathing, premeditated murder, etc.
Even Crook could just rob other rappers if he wanted, but he doesn’t do it, which proves people are not commiting crime for no reason.

If you rub Crooked I the wrong way, he’ll start praying his firearm in the club, without regard for whom he hits. Firing off a lot of rounds, just like a shooting range.
