“New Jack” is an oldish term for somebody’s who new to the scene, but Jay is a veteran of the street and thus will not get shot
References New Jack City, an early 90s film oft referenced by rappers, which starred Wesley Snipes (spoiler alert: at the end of the movie, Snipes' kingpin character, Nino Brown, is murdered).
In the 10 years since this album was released; Snipes (the actor) has spent 3 years in jail for tax evasion – adding a new level of meaning to this line.

Bawse repeats the line for emphasis. Kobe’s wife wasn’t there when he was putting in the hard work to be famous, shooting thousands of jumpers in the gym. So now she doesn’t deserve ½ of what she didn’t work for.
In 2013, Vanessa Bryant responded to these lyrics in an Instagram comment and claimed Drake had apologized to her in a text.
I love when immature kids quote a rapper that has never been friends with Kobe and knows nothing about our relationship. Just shows how gullible they are. I don’t need to be in the gym. I’m raising our daughters, signing checks and taking care of everything else that pertains to our home life. But thanks for your concern over an immature quote.
I really wish people would stop THINK and then realize that they are being sucked into someone’s clear intention to monetize and gain attention off of our family’s heartache. This is real life. I hold down our home life so my husband can focus on his career. It’s a partnership.
Since my husband isn’t friends with Drake, we received a text of an apology forwarded from his manager. It’s done and over with and it’s now time for people to THINK before speaking.
