DMX = Math Genius

Since DMX was already facing weapon charges before this song came out, he was talking about guns. Three .45’s and one .38 are not that heavy to carry.

At the time of this song, fellow D-Block rapper Styles P was locked up.

So whenever Styles P was released, Jada planned to pick him up, and leave IMMEDIATELY.

Beyond leaving immediately, I think he’s saying that they’re going to make sure to celebrate P’s release by getting him a new car. Turbo likely refers to a Porsche 911 Turbo, an expensive high-performance sports car.

He’s referring to a 9/11 Porsche Turbo he purchased Styles P Following his release from prison. Customary to hold you mans down with a gift when they come home.
