Slang and Sandwiches
“Bread” and “cheese” are slang words for money, and “eatin'” is used for making money.
“Eatin'” also takes a literal position as Moosh thanks his fans. Rapping his current job and his income is are the listeners who buy his music. Which keeps him from becoming a starving artists.
His grandma was and probably still is one of his biggest support systems (as a fan or a source of encouragement).
“I can’t eat without you”, also sounds like “I can’t eat without chew” which could make this line a double entendre.

Jon made $500k after helping co-write Eminem’s song, “The Monster,” with Rihanna.
On Logic’s birthday it was only $400k:
Let’s have a money conversation
Four hundred thousand from Eminem that’s a payment
It’s safe to assume that he is still earning money from the hit single, as well as his co-written and produced song with Jason Derülo, “Trumpets”.

Gotta love the opening line, as they cater to the character’s personality. The words used here are essential:
Neutral – in the middle. She doesn’t take sides, but neither does she disagree or agree with everything people say. She has her own opinions.
Forward – positive; showing she’s formidable.
Reverse – negative; shows that she is vulnerable.
The three expressions are also an allusion to the gears of an automobile: neutral, forward (drive), and reverse.

Big Sean had a similar line on “Dance (Ass)”:
Referring to The Grotto (which is part of the swimming pool and waterfall area) at the Playboy Mansion, which usually is inhabited by half-naked (to full naked women). A grotto, cave structured area usually surround a small body of water.
Grottos were popular in Greek Mythology, sea nymphs (Dryads and Oreads- Poseidon’s daughters) would inhabit these majestic, breathtaking caverns as a part of elaborate garden, with divine powers in the water. These nyads were and considered the most beautiful of all women of Olympus.
Grotto’s seem to be inhabited by beautiful women. Nicki could be implying that about Jessie J, Ariana, and herself.
