[Verse #1]
It’s mean, soldiers
Now let me put the streets down like steamrollers
With the CATS that push
40 oz. through the hood like King Cobras
***CATs as in Caterpillar, a company that makes industrial vehicles, including steamrollers. The “CATS” (people) that be in the hood; King Cobra is a brand of 40oz.
See me sling soda
‘Cause the extra four in the split is mixed
It’s really 36
***In a 40 oz, 4 oz of foam is counted so it’s really 36 oz without the foam, also 36 oz is a kilo (referring to slinging coke from the last line)
Used to buy toasters and clips
You can tighten your circle or boa constrict
***Boa Constricters are snakes tha constrict to kill their victims (Tightening the circle)
While you was lighting your purple, I was over the scripts
See, I couldn’t walk the walk, couldn’t really talk the talk
Had to get my talk to properly explain my walk
‘Cause this lack in talk had my walk looking off
Now I’m over the limp
Watch how they mugs drop when they see my Verbal’s able
(That’s the Usual)
***”Lighting your purple” refers to smoking weed. In the movie “The Usual Suspects”, Verbal Kint is made out to be a cripple with a LIMP, but at the end, you find out he was ABLE to commit all the crimes.

Is the foundation’s I-beams and the antennas
It’s so serious every time I write my John Hancock like
Could damn near see Detroit
*****s is scared of heights
This is saran wrap and aluminum foil
Some potpourri, a little machine oil
I stack my paper and throw off my cents
This is top floor, better look out before
Pennies from heaven is the same as the semi from the second
And I reign supreme
Turn your umbrellas upside down
Did you even catch the change in theme?
***Lupe is the highest (Yao Ming is the tallest player in the league) and the backbone of hip hop (the foundation’s I-beams and the antennas).

Floor is a pun for flow (Lupe’s at the top) and also refers to the previous line where he throws off his cents (from the top floor/flow). The next line means he throws off his cents or coins from the top floor, which are as deadly as bullets at that height. Reign is a double entendre for rain; Lu rules supreme and also connects with bullets “raining” from a gun. “Turn your umbrellas upside down” refers to the rain from the previous line.

You see I’m a roller, right

But every time I drop a ‘R’

Obviously, Bumpy had an entourage (”dogs out in front of him”) but that line also refers to seeing eye dogs for the blind.
