With the lifestyle that Emilio lives, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he awakes to three dimes (“tens”) or attractive females (“bitches”) every morning in his bed. That’s what you call a good life!

Blood money is money that is acquired through lethal means such as contract killing or murdering people to protect one’s self so that may receive the money. Some of Emilio’s own money has been earned through illegal means and the amount of money that litters his bank account is stained with the bloodshed of those who stood in his way of acquiring, figuratively of course. It makes his bank account look like a butcher shop!

Praying is often used to address God or a god with adoration, confession, supplication or thanks. It is often done on one’s knees with head bent, eyes closed and hands in front of them.

Emilio prays that his haters start asking for God’s forgiveness for doubting his skills or talents or just straight out hating for no reason. He wants them to not follow in his footsteps but to listen to his instructions. He’s like a messiah!

Continuing with the basketball talk, Emilio gets to sit court side with a lovely lady with a nice butt in his J’s. Since he is from New York, he’s probably at Madison Square Garden where the Knicks play.

Was always a fan of the Knicks so we’ll never be sitting
And watching the Nets game

J’s or Air Jordans are a brand of basketball sneakers represented as the official sneaker brand of 6 time NBA Champion Michael Jordan, whom the sneakers are named after. Although some of the sneakers have been re-released as retros, some Jordans such as the French Blue 12s, the Miro 7s and Sport Blue 6s are quite rare and often fetch high dollar at sneaker auctions if in good condition. Emilio is known to rock some of these sneakers from time to time.

The walls in Emilio’s home are lined with beautiful pieces of art, showing his refined taste for the fine arts and his intelligence.

Cold as ice

Referring back to the last line, the wife who Emilio is having an affair with claims that her husband isn’t pleasuring her in bed. Emilio takes this as one of the reasons he loves the life he lives, he can fuck bad hoes and treat them good.

To epitomize is to serve as the typical or ideal example of so everything these critics say about Emilio should do or should be, he already is or has been. Though he will keep the names of the critics anonymous so they won’t receive any credit for building a star rapper when he already had the skills and talent to do so himself.

With the many standards Emilio needs for his friends to follow and his trust issues, as spoken about at the start of the verse, Emilio is super picky with his friends but in a new city such as Brooklyn when compared to his dangerous hometown of Rochester, he can afford to make new friends that will help him succeed in life and possibly move his mama away from the scary neighborhoods of The Roc.

The drug dealing women will get pregnant and still stick to their jobs as a means to support their developing child while Emilio purchases more condoms (rubbers) because of the crazy antics these women put themselves through. He has to be safe and aware of what he is getting into.
