A reference to Pablo Esobar, one of Nas' namesakes, who with his Medellin cartel made more money than most Colombians could have dreamt of at the time and became a folk hero in the process.

Excellent answer, but should be written in the third person rather than the first person (mass) to make it applicable to non-US citizens as well, eg. “Zack is saying that propaganda has convinced people that the US is fighting the good fight overseas, rather than killing senselessly to serve their own ends.”

The line is about how some people use their support for the military and nationalism(yellow ribbon) to hide behind their racism(swastika)
Specifically, during the Vietnam war. My Lai was just one example of this mindless killing.

“to control global resources and power”
