Rick Grimes vs Walter White/Rap Meanings

Rick Grimes:
Carl, stay back; this is gonna get bad.

(Carl Grimes is Rick's son, and because he's growing up in a post-apocalyptic world, Rick often acts overly protective towards him, keeping him out of trouble and danger as much as he can. Rick is telling Carl to stay out because there will be trouble. The use of the word "bad" also references Walter's TV show, "Breaking Bad".)

I'm 'bout to show this lab rat how to be a real dad.

(Walter White is a chemistry teacher and has a lot of interest in science. In later seasons of "Breaking Bad", Walter was provided with a superlab to cook his meth in. When Walter's son, Walt Jr., finds out about his illegal business, he turns his back on Walt and wants nothing to do with him anymore, unlike Carl, who cares about his dad. What Rick is saying is that he is a better dad than Walter White.)

A grade-A MC who'll ruin your A-1 day,

(Both "Breaking Bad" and "The Walking Dead" are aired on the television channel AMC. Rick is saying that of the two shows, his show (The Walking Dead) is A-grade, or simply the better one. He is also saying he is the A-grade MC, MC meaning master of ceremonies. The A1A Car Wash is a car wash where Walter worked and which he later owned. The motto of this car wash is "have an A1 day", A1 meaning good. So Rick is saying he'll ruin Walter's good day.) 

'Cause Sheriff Grimes rhymes dirty like my armpit stains.

(Grimes says that he "rhymes dirty", or raps fiercely, and he'll use his skill to beat White. Grimes frequently wears shirts stained at the armpits by his sweat, which would make the shirts dirty. It's also a pun on his name, Grimes, since "grime" is another word for stain or dirt.)

I'm a post-apocalyptic cop who's got a lot of issues.

(Before the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse, Rick was a police officer of the King County Sheriff's Department. As "The Walking Dead" progresses, Rick has to deal with a lot of issues and problems, both inside and outside his group. Originally, "The Walking Dead" was a comic book series written by Robert Kirkman. The comics are released periodically in issues, and so far "The Walking Dead" has had over 120 issues.)

Pop a cap in you and splatter the brain you misuse,

(Grimes says that he's going to put a bullet, or "pop a cap", in White's head, splattering his brain. The only way to truly kill a Walker is by destroying or damaging the brain. Walter was a skilled chemist, but he misused this knowledge for the manufacturing of meth and other illegal activities. This line is also a reference to Walter White's company, Gray Matter.) 

Cooking up Blue Sky and bigger lies for Skyler,

(Continuation of previous line: Grimes calls Walter dumb for his actions. Cooking up is slang in the drug business for making chemical drugs such as meth. Rick is saying that Walter is "cooking up" drugs and lies for Skyler. Blue Sky is the street name for pure meth, which is what Walter and Jesse cook. Skyler is Walter's wife, and at first, he lied constantly to her, trying to cover up his meth business. Later, when Skyler found out about the meth business, she helped him launder money, which created even bigger lies.)

Hatching little schemes like a dying MacGyver.

(Walter White is a genius when it comes to planning, similar to Angus MacGyver from the TV show of the same name. Walter White was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer, so Rick is saying that even when he is near death, he is still hatching schemes. This could also reference that when he was near death, he planted a machine turret inside a car to save Jesse from the Neo Nazis. Within MacGyver's series run, there was an episode called "The Walking Dead".)

You tore your family apart sin by sin.

(Due to his drug business and him slowly becoming a darker and more evil person throughout the series, he created a lot of problems for him and his family, which resulted in his family hating him. Not meaning to do so, he also caused the death of his brother-in-law, Hank Schrader.)

Where I live, it happens literally limb from limb.

("The Walking Dead" is set in King County, GA, where Grimes lives and deals with walkers who try to eat his family and friends by tearing them to pieces and eating them.)

So write this down in your pancakes so you won't forget it:

(On his birthday, Walter would write his age on his pancakes using bacon, and Rick wants him to do the same with his following line so Walter will remember who he's up against.)

I kill zombies that are better men than you before breakfast!

(Rick is saying that even though the walkers he kills on a daily basis are dead and have no trace of humanity or feeling, they are still better people than Walter is. A recurring joke among fans of Breaking Bad is that Walter White's son, Walter Jr., is obsessed with breakfast.)

Walter White:
I don't know what you think I've done,

(Walt finds it foolish of Rick to fight him, and he thinks that Rick isn't aware of anything Walter has actually done. This could be because of Walter hiding his criminal side during his series.)

But if we were to battle, I've already won.

(Walter White is saying that if Rick really wants to battle, Walter will be the winner immediately. This line also includes one of Walter's quotes, "I won," said after finally defeating Gustavo Fring.)

Ask Gus, you don't wanna face off against me.

(Gustavo Fring, also known as Gus, was a drug kingpin and an employer of White, but Gus wanted to get rid of Walter after he caused too much trouble. Walter revolted against Gus, and he planted a bomb under the wheelchair of Hector Salamanca, causing Gus to get half of his face blown off and be ultimately killed. The title of that episode is also called "Face Off". To "face off" also means to challenge someone to a fight, which ultimately comes from ice hockey; in ice hockey, players "face off" for the puck after a stoppage in play.)

I'll stuff you in a barrel and make a dude smoothie!

(A smoothie is a refreshing mixed drink. When Walter needs to dispose of a human body, he uses a method of dissolving the body by using hydrofluoric acid, a solution in which fluorine becomes highly reactive. Because of this, he needs a plastic barrel. The term "dude" is slang for cowboy. Walt is saying he will put Rick's body in a plastic barrel and dissolve it, turning it into a human smoothie.)

Your sense of duty gets your group into some deep doody!

(Rick is an honorable man and often feels it is his duty to help people. He eventually becomes a leader to his group. However, he often leads his group into sticky situations, getting some people killed in the process. Doody is a term for fecal matter, so Walter says Rick always gets his crew into some deep shit. This is also a wordplay on duty/doody.)

Always getting saved by some samurai booty.

(Michonne is one of the main characters in "The Walking Dead". Her weapon of choice to fight off Walkers is a katana blade. Katanas are historically associated with samurais and referred to as "samurai swords". On several occasions, Michonne saved Rick's life or helped him and the group out of trouble.) 

I'm a kingpin, cooking crystal in the middle of the day!

(Walt and Jesse cook methamphetamine, which is also shortened to crystal meth. They often cook it in the desert in the middle of the day. The popularity of Walter's meth makes him slowly transform into a drug kingpin.)

Having dinner by the pool with the DEA!

(Hank Schrader, Walter's brother-in-law, is a special agent working with the Drug Enforcement Agency (or DEA), which is an agency that battles drug smuggling. Hank was put in charge of investigating and catching drug kingpin Heisenberg, unaware that Heisenberg is actually his brother-in-law, Walter. Despite this risky connection, Walter would often invite his DEA brother-in-law over for dinner in his backyard, where a pool is also located.)

Run you over with my Aztek; GTA,

(For the biggest part of the show, Walter drove a 2004 Pontiac Aztek crossover vehicle. In the Breaking Bad episode "Half Measures", Walter uses his Aztek to run over two drug dealers who were about to shoot and kill Jesse. Running people over with cars is a popular activity in the "Grand Theft Auto" game series, also known as G.T.A., which hit its peak popularity when "Grand Theft Auto V" was released while Season 5 of Breaking Bad was running.)

If you ever try to stop Heisenberg getting paid!

(Heisenberg is Walter's alias in the drug business. Walter got into the business to earn money and secure his family's financial future, therefore if somebody messed with Walter's meth and payment, he would get annoyed. Many people who have tried messing with Walter or his business ended up paying for it with their lives. This is even more applicable due to Rick's job as a law enforcer.)

Here's a hot dose, let me watch you choke on the truth.

(A Hot Dose is a mixture of battery acid and, usually, heroin. In the Breaking Bad episode "Phoenix", Jesse and his girlfriend, Jane Margolis, both take a dose of heroin. Walter breaks into the house and finds the two passed out. As Jane starts choking on her own vomit, Walter, instead of helping her, decides to watch as she chokes and dies. Walter will do the same with Rick after he tells him the truth.)

You look up to me like I'm a pizza on the roof,

(In the Breaking Bad episode "Caballo Sin Nombre", Walter angrily throws a pizza on the roof of his house after Skyler refused to let him in. "Looking up" is used both literally and figuratively here. Walter claims that Rick looks up to, or admires, him as much as you'd have to look upwards to see the pizza on the roof of the house.)

'Cause you're a loser, a failure to your whole entire crew.

(Another reference to how Rick's leadership often gets his group into a lot of trouble by making bad decisions.)

I've seen Walter Jr. handle walkers better than you!

(Walter White, Jr., White's son, has Cerebral Palsy, meaning he can't walk without crutches or walkers, and even then, it's still a difficulty for him. In "The Walking Dead", Rick and his group refer to zombies as "Walkers". "Handling Walkers" has a double meaning here, meaning both using supports to walk around and killing zombies. White is using this as a pun, saying his disabled son can walk around with supports better than that Rick can kill zombies.)

Rick Grimes:
'''Carl! I said stay back with the others,'''

(Carl would often disobey his parents and wander off on his own. Rick has already told him to stay back once during the battle.)

While I finish this bitch like you finished your mother.

(Rick's wife, Lori, was bleeding from an emergency C-section as she gave birth to her daughter, Judith. The hemorrhaging was catastrophic, bringing Lori near death. Carl had to kill her to prevent her from becoming a walker. Rick is saying he's going to kill White just as Carl did Lori. Walter's partner Jesse Pinkman often called everyone (even Walter) a "bitch". So he's telling Walt he is a bitch just like Jesse says he is.)

You ain't the danger to me, Walt, so knock all you want.

(One of Walter White's famous quotes is, "You clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in: I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No! I am the one who knocks!" What Rick is saying is no matter how much Walter "knocks", he will never be a danger to Rick.)

I'll watch you get eaten on my fucking front lawn.

(Rick is saying if Walt were to literally knock on his door, he'd be eaten by walkers before getting the chance to do anything. When a person is bitten or being eaten by Walkers, Rick shoots the person in the head to end their misery, but in this case, Rick would prefer to watch Walter get eaten and die a painful death.)

Walter White:
Your monsters don't frighten me, and you can bite me!

(White is not scared of Walkers. He then turns to the Walker trying to attack him and says he can "bite him". Bite me is also an expression used to show that someone does not care, meaning White doesn't care about them.)

I'll be standing right here in my tighty Walter Whities!

(Continuing his previous invitation for Grimes to "bite him", he says he'll just wait for Rick to do so while he waits wearing nothing but his "tighty whities" (making a pun with his name, Walter White). In the first episode, "Pilot", Walter and Jesse nearly die at the hands of two drug dealers, but he fights them off in his underwear. This is because at the start of his career as a manufacturer he cooked in hai underpants to avoid the smell sticking to his clothes.)

I'll bury you faster than your partner stole your whole life.

(Shane was Rick's partner in the police force. While Rick was in a coma, his life support machine ultimately stops working due to an explosion, and Shane assumes that he is dead. Shane took over his role in looking after Rick's family and began a sexual relationship with Rick's wife, Lori.)

No one saw Shane coming except for your wife!

(Shane is Rick's best friend, but while Rick was in a coma, Shane had sex with Lori behind his back, as well as a daughter that could have been his. Also, Shane ends up being an antagonist in Season 2, going crazy and killing others for the survival of him and Rick's family. Eventually, he tries to kill Rick, which results in his own death. Walter uses the term "no one saw Shane coming" to describe how the show's audience did not suspect Shane of turning against Rick, and that the only person who did see him "cumming", or ejaculating after sex, was Rick's wife.)
