Em would get ripped apart for a line like this today

At least his Infinite punchlines are delivered really smoothly with crisp multis. For that reason, I'll take them over his 2010-2012 punchlines any day.

"You're addicted I'm dope, I'm the longest needle around here
Need a fix, ock? I'm the big shot, get it, dick-snots?
You're just small pokes, little pricks"

A true triple.

1. "Big shot" and "Small Poke" is pretty straight forward, he's saying he's better than you. Simple
2. Continuing the needle references throughout the verse. "Big Shot" literally means "large needle". These other guys are just "Small pokes, little pricks in the skin.
3. Continuing the dick references. His is the "Longest around here" (He measures the length just a few bars back". He also shoots a big load ("Big Shot"). These other guys are just "Dick-snots" (jism), with "Little Pricks"

Boom. Triple.

From RG
Above The Law
Nowhere near a tush in fact if I jump out a bush
In a sneak attack's the only way I'll say I am-Bush

He is saying the only way he is like George Bush is that he performs sneak attacks, which is another name for ambush.
Em is continuing on with the “I’m not soft” theme so the only time he will say “i am bush/pussy)” is when he does a sneak attack, which is called an Ambush. Bush could also refer to the whole pussy theme in these last couple of lines, meaning a women’s pubes.
The most obvious one: If he would do a sneak attack he would literally be involved in an ambush.
He uses more wordplay, if you can break down “sneak attack’s”. It sounds like “sneak a tax”. In this case, he could be talking about how Bush dropped the rate on taxes and revenues from the tax increased with the government taking in more money.

I always liked

I done quit chicken heads cold turkey and started slowly roasting 'em,
'Cause that's where most of my anger is based

And

And next time I show up in court I'll be naked and just wear a lawsuit,
Judge be like "That's sharp, how much did that motherfucker cost you? Smart-ass"
