Hoes over my dick, dick over my toes
Toes over my grave, grave over my bones
And that’s where it ends, my friend—we die alone

This line is explained by Cise Star himself when CYNE did an AMA on reddit
It’s a play on the whole “Money Over Bitches” saying. The whole line finishes out with “toes over my grave, grave over my bones and that’s how it ends my friend we die alone..lone”. Basically beyond all bravado everything ends up back at the grave and none of the ignorant ish matters..actually it’ll problably just take you there prematurely
Notice how the line moves from priorities (of course many rappers will co-sign money over bitches, bitches over hoes..) to a literal meaning. Hoes will be on top during coitus, a dick is physically above your toes, and standing in a cemetery, your toes are literally over the grave. However this is all temporary, and when we eventually die, our bones are literally under the grave.

Emphasizing the relativity of everything. The fact that a home might be familiar to one person yet “foreign” to another serves as a metaphor that sets up the theme of the song; We may label things as good & bad, hard or soft etc. but ultimately these labels are only relative to our understanding of them, and may be completely different to someone else. Ace touches on a deep philosophical ideal here: there is no absolute wrong or right.. only a balance of the two.

This whole verse is 32 bars. Twice the length of a normal verse. Here is a musical transcription of the lyrics, courtesy of Martin Connor. Check out his blog here.
Kendrick’s voice in this verse sounds a bit odd, like his voice is breaking, possibly to channel his teenage years a la his “trip down memory lane.”
Interestingly, Kendrick had already dropped this verse in a 2012 recording at Westwood’s.
