First of all, did you even listen to the song? You have the lyrics way wrong. These are the correct lyrics.

My drum, my drum, my drum
Gonna make ya
My drum, my drum, my drum
Gonna make ya come

My book, my book, my book
Gonna make ya
My book, my book, my book
Gonna make ya look

My hand, my hand, my hand
My hand going under
My hand, my hand, my hand
My hand going understand

My fall, my fall
My fall gonna break ya
My fall, my fall
My fall gonna break your wall

I'm mad, I'm mad, I'm mad
Like a big dog

Gave me a rod

For fishing, fishing fishing
Fishing, fishing, fishing, yeah
yeah

Won't you beat my (repeated)

Fishing, fishing, fishing,
Fishing, fishing, fishing, yeah. yeah. yeah.

My interpretation is way different. Its about his music and the effect he has on people

"My drum gonna make you come" = first I'm gonna get you with the sounds of my music
"My book gonna make you look" = then I'm going to get you really thinking because of my lyrics
"My hand going understand"= the way I put my music together will make you understand
"My fall gonna break your wall" = you are going to relate to me because I've been through what you have
"I'm mad like a big dog" =I'm mad and you can feel your emotions through my music
"Cause my god gave me a rod for fishing" = I have a gift (a rod) for music, and its going to get to people in a way others can't

"Won't you beat my..." = so join the bandwagon, feel this music with me

Just my thought. Tell me what you think.
