great song, its about dealing drugs (which makes it all the more interesting)....a key is a kilogram of cocaine, and T.I. has three of them in a louis vuitton backpack hes taking to the projects referred to as the Jects to sell, he has his loaded .44 caliber hand guns, or should i say cannons with pistol grips hidden incase things go wrong he can blow a bitches head off while smoking very expensive hydroponically grown marijuana- referred to as "dro"..driving his '64 chevy impala with a candy (very glossy) paint job he has a huge diamond ring on his pinky....then he says that you should never carry drugs on you, not even q's which are an eigth of an ounce, a small amount, im not sure but i think that hes shooting his 44's out of his drop top impala and the cops are coming and he tells whoever's driving to pull over and he steals a bentley coupe and later takes it to the chop shop to be sold
@Shuke I believe you have misheard and misinterpreted a line. I don't believe that there is a line referring to "q's which are an eighth of an ounce".

Then a meaning of the word "cube" is "the product of a number multiplied by itself TWICE".
So T.I. is saying that the person referred to is even worse than "square" (conventional, conservative), he's "cube", as "cube" is "square" TWICE.
That's what it is, though admittedly it's hard to pick up on.
