She got a *beep* tattoo and you ain't even know it (real talk) Black Hippy (Ft. Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar & ScHoolboy Q) – U.O.E.N.O.

‘'What’s her name’' has a tattoo in an intimate place… and you’ll never see it.
We O.E.N.O.
This mysterious girl could possibly be Rihanna, since she has a song called What’s My Name? and he also talks about Rihanna in another Black Hippy remix, on ‘Black Lip Bastard’. If this is the case, bravo Kendrick, bravo.
Drake also mentions Rihanna as “What’s her name” in No Lie:
Or alternatively, as in GKMC, the censored word may refer to ‘Crips’, so this line would infer that this girl has a gang affiliated tattoo, and not necessarily in an intimate location.
Could it also be Erykah Badu? Given the chemistry shared on stage at the BET awards and her history with rappers of upper echelon of lyrical abilities.

Taking something ‘by storm’ is to succeed overwhelmingly, which Ab-Soul (and TDE in general) is doing in the rap game at the moment, and to X someone out is a symbolic way of killing them. In order to get to the top of the rap game, you’ve got to defeat your competitors.
This line showcases some wordplay, as Storm was a character in the Marvel comic, X-Men.
Another thing to notice is that Storm isn’t a man, that could explain why he X'ed“ the men out.
Some might also say that Ab-Soul also made it snow earlier in the verse by being the coldest rapper flowing.

A lot of girls will be willing to have sex with you when you’re famous, simply because of your status, in exchange for some kind of reward. However, The Weeknd is not just going to kiss this woman and give her some sort of gratification of being with him if she does not sell her body. Affection is a transaction to him, not something free and purely out of will.
The “room” referred to in this line may be the back room of a strip club where anything goes for money. He refers to the strip club throughout the song.
There’s also the allusion to a VIP area, hinted at by the rhyme of “kisses aren’t free” which ends with the “ee” suffix to make this rhyme and sound like ‘VIP’.
But when she put it in her mouth
She can't seem to reach my The Weeknd – Kiss Land

In short, The Weeknd is paid. He has a place, but has been touring so much that he’s only seen it twice this year.
This verse is after the transition into the second part of the song – something The Weeknd has done previously with the likes of XO/The Host, The Party & The Afterparty, and House of Balloons/Glass Table Girls.
In addition to this, the third verse has a similar beginning to the third verse in ‘The Party & The Afterparty’, where he says he has a brand new girl.

Canaries meaning canary diamonds which have yellow tones… as does urine, but frozen urine will not create a diamond. French finding a woman and getting married to her is that impossible.
ACCEPTED COMMENT: This line referred to the one above, that French was saying finding a woman from the ghetto and marrying her is like trying to pass frozen urine as yellow diamonds. Most of them are fake and dirty.

He’s literally dethroning these rappers with his skill and the attention he’s receiving. Also, Joey and his Pro Era clique are partial to blunt after blunt. Marijuana is considered a spiritual medicine, a mind tool for conscious building. It initiates many processes in the body, mind and even soul (which Joey is referring to in this line).
They’ll be experiencing ‘'deep thoughts from higher powers’‘ due to chakra expansion. Marijuana intensifies this because the high attracts a flow of incoming subatomic particles into our systems, and the chakras widen to accommodate this influx. This results in deeper thoughts, mental/psychic power, greater connectivity etc.

Q puts a spin on the following infamous and controversial date-rape themed lines by Rick Ross, which had the original “UOENO” track in headlines for weeks:
Q spiked this girls drink with Molly [MDMA], but with her consent. He either has the consent caught on camera for evidence just in case she tries to deny it at a later date [e.g. for extortion], or they shot a porno whilst rolling.
