no they perform fellatio while he’s in the convertible.
ambiguous line nonetheless. Holding gats can also refer to just living as a local thug or peddler in the hood where you are better off carrying a weapon.
Also holstering weapons is known to make jackets bulge if they aren’t tailored/made extra big(than person actual size).
Armor All is also a famous wax/polish product. Normally when you purchase certain high quality cars straight off the lot they are detailed before you get them. Armor All can be applied to the interior dash, the body, and most famously: the tires giving them a wet sleek jet black color like they were on water at night under bright lights
Nas needs to avoid snitches and the jealous types who will snuff him for his wealth and ruin his “scheme”. Ergo he devises the plan himself and only takes what he needs(in this case a female, who police aren’t trying to identify, to transport the product)
refers back to the last line. A typical practice of higher profile dealers, they insulate themselves from day to day narcotics trafficking through money laundering. The key is to find a legal connect who can embezzle/coerce others into allowing them to start up these “honest” businesses that the police can’t trace crimes to.

Nas does not support the “American Way”(go to college, get a good job, get a house with white picket fence, etc) however, he realizes(“Twenty Five to flat”) that being a career drug lord is going to lead to more pain than pleasure. Being a rebel in this sense wanting his cake and eating it too. He wants money now and later but doesnt want to sell drugs the rest of his life which in turn reverts back to his first verse of how he concocts a plan to hit it big once and then set up his “legal” businesses unlike his friends who deal with narcotics their entire life with no viable route to disassociate themselves from tribulations of the hood.
