From urban dictionary: Buffalo stance = To stand with your arms tighly crossed looking over to side at somebody. This comes from the pose struck by Bruce Smith of the Buffalo Bills in the late 1980's
From these lyrics I imagine a streetwise gigolo (or somebody who appears that way) seemingly trying to mack on the narrator. At first she thinks he's just trying to be her pimp. she's looking for true love, not swayed merely by money. she thinks he's just trying to replace the prostitute that used to work for him before he was sent to prison (for crime of solicitation presumably, or somesuch).
He tries to convince her otherwise:
"Smokin, not cokin". The guy is proud of both his sex appeal ("smokin...looking good...") and that he's now living a clean, drug-free life. [well, good for him.] "state of mind: don't look behind you" means he's learned to move forward in his life, not dwelling on mistakes of the past. this guy is very self-confident...it's all about state of mind, according to his philosophy.
"Bomb the bass, rock this place"-- she and the guy meet at a club and have a fun time dancing. [the beat of this song is quite catchy, after all.] but the narrator's friends warn her, this guy's a gigolo, man.
At the end somehow she falls for him, water from her eyes perhaps means tears of joy, and sinking deeper into his soul means she's gotten to know the real guy behind the gigolo/pimp facade. Maybe her friends were wrong? or maybe she's been had and he's really just a gigolo. Ambiguous ending.
