The first line, “This ain’t no fetish, ain’t objectifying no one” means that he does not have a fetish for black girls. He’s not aiming for them, he’s simply attracted to them. He’s not objectifying. Black girls have known to be exploited by the white race in earlier years. He sees them as beautiful women.

Changing lane here means breaking the rules and running free for Arab women, setting a new path for them. Also, she’s slightly shifting the tone and topic of the lyrics in this verse. Up to this point, the song has been about female empowerment in general, Saudi women driving, pride, and, superficially, car sex, but the second verse seems to be more personal.

Driving in this song is a symbol for getting Arab women free, and now that’s a thing that can make them tremble hard. The idea of women’s liberation (where she’s going) is an intimidating thought for traditional middle eastern men (will have them trembling)

Steam because there was no time to regulate temperature in the car, they just sped off to escape persecution for driving. Also from what I am guessing is running to the car and/or excitement of escape.

And it can be hot as fuck in UAE.

In line with other sexual innuendos throughout the song, this could also refer to the car heating up during sex (queue epic Titanic hand scene):

Kanye is poking fun at Stump’s notoriously difficult-to-understand delivery, low key referencing the misheard lyrics videos that went viral in March ’07 as the original FOB song got Top 40 airplay; Kanye was one of the thousands of people who had no idea what the hell Stump was saying, no matter how many times they heard the song (“Also into cats, also into cats").

Though, Kanye isn’t just baffled by the song’s delivery. The content, too, seems absurd. The title and refrain “this ain’t a scene, it’s a goddamn arms race” invokes a longing for a scene that isn’t so competitive, that isn’t “so addicted and obsessed with new arts, cultures and loves”, but Kanye, fighting for recognition not just as a producer but also as a rapper and celebrating the intense competition that has been vital to hip-hop since day one, has never known a scene that isn’t an arms race.

To ask for a scene that’s less competitive, less obsessed with creating new forms of art and breaking down barriers between arts and cultures, is to bite the hand that feeds. Certainly, FOB wouldn’t have “raced straight to the top” if they didn’t satisfy this very desire for newness, if they didn’t make a new weapon, and isn’t that exactly what this remix is? Kanye knows it.
