The citizens of Virginia are so gaudy, they’re pratically begging 50 to rob them. The “pussy waiting to get fucked” line comes from the movie Scarface:

What’s up with New York rappers exploiting Virginia? For instance, Jay-Z’s “Hello Brooklyn 2.0”

When I left you for Virginia, it didn’t offend ya
Cause you know I only stepped out to get dinner

DMX said a similar line about 6 years prior in his song “What’s My Name”

Runnin' around here like some brand new pussy
That’s about to get fucked

Also Tony Yayo said the line in reference to New York when he was leaving the airport in the Thoughts Of A Predicate Felon bonus DVD

New York city’s just a big pussy waitin' to get fucked

50 actually got robbed in bad news, VA. LMAO @ “exploiting” that sounds good but what jay was talking about was when he sold drugs va, which was also in bad news va. people in the game know that NY product sells for more in the south. Hell even dating back to the biggie days, big had lines “Nicks go for $20 down south” in everyday struggle
