“Paws” serves as a slang for “hands” here. Mauling refers to the act when an animal rips another animal’s flesh. So basically, Lil' Tic will either literally rip B-Rabbits body apart, or “rip him apart” metaphorically in his overwhelming lyrical way

  2. Refer to the fact that he pulls out his hot raps and beats Rabbit lyrically

Der Rotstift wird so gut wie immer vom Lehrer bei der Korrektur einer Klassenarbeit / Klausur benutzt, um Mängel und Fehler rot anzustreichen, welche ein Schüler im Nachhinein dann verbessern kann. Ein Polizist hat eine Pistole als Dienstwaffe, und da Kollegah als Lehrer den Job hat, den Kindern was zu lehren und sie zu korrigieren, ist hiermit der Rotstift seine Dienstwaffe

Ein klassischer Fall in der Schule, bei dem die überlegenen und älteren Schüler ihre unterlegenen Opfer zwingen, ihnen ihre Butterbrote oder ihr Taschengeld zu überreichen. Eine Tupperdose ist eine Plastikdose, die Kinder oft mit zur Schule nehmen, um z.B. ihr Frühstück drinnen zu lagern

Der Boss schreckt also nicht davor zurück, auch kleineren Strolchen zu zeigen, was Sache ist

While other boys / rappers are worried about their girls and playing the lover (because other, richer guys could take them away from them), 50 is just laughing and making fun of their tripping. He’s implying that he doesn’t even want your average ho! Why? Because he just hits the finest…

#Double Entendre!

  1. Referring to Long Beach, California where the two are from. They grew up as Gangstas, that’s why it also gives them the right feeling for it

  2. Liquor and the Bud, referring to some liquor and the famous Budweiser beer! (which gives you also that righteous G feeling…)

Nas grew up in the projects of Queensbridge, New York – also called Queensbridge Houses. Growing up in such a district describes a life full of pain, struggle and hard times. To Nas, the only comparable way of the feeling when living your dreams is if you grew up in the projects, just like him.

These lines are letting us imagine a similar, known scene; Al Pacino’s role as Tony Montana in Scarface.

While each of his bodyguards have been killed, he was locked alone in his room because somebody shot his beloved sister. His rival enemies busted into his house and killed anyone who they saw. When his closest bodyguard wanted to hide into Tony’s room, he got shot because he failed to enter it since it was locked. He was screaming for help, but Tony didn’t even realize anything and was holding his dead sister in his hands (just like Nas) is holding his dead girl in his arms and is putting his $20.000 ring on the finger of her, crying and praying. The 2 differences:

  1. Tony’s sister has been shot by an enemy sneaking up behind himself outta his window (Tony then shot him and he fell down). Nas shot his girl by himself!

  2. Nas prayed and suicided later then when the cops busted in, but Tony took revenge on all his rival enemies, killing as many as he could until he has been shot to death

These two differences still are giving me the same scenario and imaginations in front of my eyes
