Now that Herb is wealthier, many of the women that once turned him down are giving him attention(such as the girl in the former half of this verse). However, Herb heeds the warning given to him by his most important women (his mother) to not give any of these hoes an ounce of importance. Herb even goes as far as to only deal with the girls that give it up to his team.

Game is getting himself set into a zone to enable him to think real hard on this track. He does this by carrying out these things that he mentions (smoking a blunt and listening to Nas' music in complete darkness) which sets up this deep track about Game playing God and taking out those he deems evil in the world.

Nas' influence on Game is well known, therefore it is no surprise that he makes reference to him. A particular allusion is made to Nas' song “Blunt Ashes” where similar to Game’s verse here, Nas takes a look at the problems of the world as well as digging into thoughts about himself.
