Detailed Analysis

These lyrics contain multiple layers of mature content that make them unsuitable for younger audiences. There is explicit racial language ('nigga') used throughout, along with clear references to drug use (Actavis/lean, 'cup in a cup'), sexual innuendo and euphemisms ('dick could roll the eyes back in the skull,' 'grind on my belt,' 'my baby bi'), violent imagery ('chopper in the sky like a gun trick,' 'clips on clips'), and references to illegal or underground activity ('police think I'm of the underworld'). The sexual content, while sometimes coded, is persistent and includes references to bisexuality in a suggestive rather than simply expressive context. The drug references to Actavis (prescription cough syrup used recreationally as 'lean') are specific and normalized. The combination of explicit language, drug glorification, sexual innuendo, and violent imagery places this firmly in the mature content category.
