“Joker”, “clown in a crew”, “big bank”, “bus thru the wall”: references to the opening s

cene of The Dark Knight, in which the Joker and his crew of clowns rob a big bank. The scene ends when a bus crashes through the wall and Joker escapes.

T.I. -> Lid Cranked: t.i. Notoriously wears his hat cranked to the side of his head… lid is used to refer to someone’s hat, OR someoone’s head.

“Money overseas” -> Swiss bank: common trope for criminals to move their money to offshore accounts, like in the Caymens or in Swiss banks to avoid taxes / seizures.

“Carry this baby”, “Death, stranded”, “Kid Tank”: all references to the video game “Death Stranding”, in which the protagonist carries a baby in a tank of liquid on his back the entire game. “Tanking” is used to describe when someone performs really poorly… you might hear it for a sports team but used for stage performers too when they have a really bad set (i.e., comedians).

“Mix”, “chasing”, “shot”, “Bod’ll disappear / bottle disappear”: a scheme around drinking.. a mixer is something you mix with alcohol, like juices… chasing/chasers is drinking something immediately following a higher proof alcohol… shot is… a shot of liquor (or a bullet in this case), and “Bod’ll / bottle” wordplay to refer to the body disappearing or a bottle disappearing as if it was a FIFTH (fifth of alcohol describes a bottle), DRANK!
