I pop at yo head - fuck up your memories
I put a bullet in Nina head and let her reminisce

Yeah

If you don't remember shit, you gon remember this
I'm knockin niggas down this year - I'm on my timber shit
Big lion growl at you niggas on that Simba shit
I be on that fuck-yo-clique I-kill-every-member shit

Cold as December shit
Bang in any weather shit
And they can buy your bag with body parts sold seperate

Yeah that's a bet bitch
Like Russian roulette, bitch

Weezy be the genie in a bottle
Here's your Death Wish

There's an interesting but convoluted idea in that first couplet that I want to try and untangle. We can safely assume that "fuck up your memories" equates to something like scramble your brains, but then we shift focus to the gun itself. In the second line, the bullet allows the Nina to "reminisce", meaning to enjoy some old memories, but since its only actual function is to shoot, I think it's safe to assume that the bullet is being treated as something like a portable memory. In other words, the Nina gets a "memory" inserted and then "reminisces" about it, which places that memory in your head and makes a mess out of your existing ones.

Then, continuing with the theme of remembering things, Wayne proceeds to let you know why and how he'll never be forgotten. In this particular case, I think the unforgettable and undeniable fact is that in that year alone he put out upwards of 70 features along with a similarly insane amount of unreleased content, AND a free mixtape. No one was left standing.

The rest is pure hype. The body parts line probably helped reduce global warming that year.
