Dollar van Flatbush rudebwoys on back blocks
I associate with the tough, street-smart individuals of Dollar Van Flatbush on the less prominent streets.

A hustler's thought, don't get caught

And more showcase diamonds don't get bought
Don't waste your money on extravagant displays of wealth, instead focus on making smart investments.

The shortcut twin thing A and B is an angle
Finding a quick and efficient way to succeed in life is like solving a problem with two possible solutions (A and B) from different perspectives.

Watch me put wings on bees
Watch as I elevate and empower those who are considered insignificant.

Diamonds on bezels, block boys play with heavy metal
We adorn our watches with diamonds, while street boys engage in risky activities with firearms.
