“KC” refers to Kansas City, Missouri (MO); it is the hometown of Tech N9ne.

KCK most probably stands for “Kansas City King.”

There’s a KC in Missouri (KC-MO), and a KC in Kansas (KC-K). The two cities are very close to one another. However, he’s probably not primarily referring to KCK in the context of Kansas, since Kansas’s abbreviation has two letters (like all U.S. states): KS.

Lithium (the 3rd element in the periodic table) is a very reactive metal, due to a single valence electron that is easily given up to form what is called a cation. Because of this, it is a good conductor of heat and electricity as well as a highly reactive element when put in put in water, for example.

Clearly:
He means spitting his fiery lyrics, while his haters just ramble about boring rhetoric in which the lyrics have no depth, either.

So basically, his lyrics are like this:

And this other rapper’s lyrics are like this:

Lithium is also a treatment for bipolar disorder; this could be a callback to N9ne’s “a little manic ’cause I gotta be.” Other rappers aren’t manic, because they’re medicated, making them worse rappers.

“Peter Piper” is an English tongue-twister which got published 1813 in England. The original verse is:

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked;
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

Yelawolf changed this a little bit into:

Peter Piper dump a pile of peppers in your throats which means, Peter Piper finishes you.

(He also references this nursery rhyme in the “Shady 2.0 Cypher” later that year.)

Translation:

They all want to check it when we lay it down
Coming in and smashing it, the beat I’m awakening it
You know what’s coming out of my mouth
Hanging with the craziest guys
It reminds me that we light it up
Because they all call me “wild fucking chopper”
