I don't know why it's called a bird, maybe someone can explain that to me. Maybe it's because of the way they were brought into the country. [pic]

I'm guessing Gucci is only buying a fraction of the whole brick?

We call em birds cause we get em in and get them gone...we movin em they fly away

Broccoli = Green. Green = Money or Weed. Either definition works, depends where you're from I guess.

# is the pound sign...so basically they just putting 4# as they were carrying some sort of 40 caliber piece...

pound (#) means 5 so a 4# means a 45... and a trey(3) # is short for trey # seven (357)

Yeah,I always hear east coast rappers talk about smoking "L's" and "loosies" I just figured it was slang for a blunt or a dutch
