What did GZA mean in this verse. I could never really understand it.
"The banks a G, all CREAM downs a bet
Money feed good, opposites off the set"
The first line is a refrence to the Cee-Loo game, right? Bank is the person who give instruction to other players of how big the ante will be. So here it's $1000 (a G).
But what does the second line mean? Is he saying about his clique (set) or does "set" mean something different here?
its means if you're not participating in the dice game feel free to leave
i assume it means that Ghostface is in a craps game. $500 on the Pass and $500 on Don't Pass. Ghost won. Whoever bet the opposite lost all their money and have to get out of the game and make way for new players with money.
Getting paid feels good as opposed to not? althught I had alternative interpretation when set meaning the turntables. And opposite sets means the two turn tables. Once you get paid, the beat starts.
All CREAM (money) down is a bet. Dice game. Possibly Cee-Lo. In Cee-Lo, u can “stop” the bank.
