Even though all the lyric pages say it's "I'll split your cabbage and lettuce and olives", I have always thought of that as wrong. I have to options that can be right instead of that gibberish you think he's saying:
1) "I split your cabbage and your lettuce or else... (I'ma pick the world up and..."
2) "I split your cabbage and you let us in, or else... (I'ma pick the world up and..."

I mostly believe in number two. Talking about splitting one's cabbage (brain) is a real expression, splitting lettuces and olives isn't that normal.

Cabbage is slang for head in rap.

And when he says lettuce and olives he's playing off of the fact that the use of cabbage is cliche'. He makes you think he's being regular and cliche' by saying "I'll split your cabbage" but then that's the reason he continues and names other vegetables, to continue the use of the terminology and be unique...

It's hard to explain dissect, it's not that hard really lol.

Cabbage is head, he's just going overboard, its emphasis, like i'll smash your brains, and then some.

Yea exactly what I was thinking, not that hard to understand, basically saying he'll fuck you up, just puttin a twist on things

i think we are digging too deep... is it so hard to admit that it's just a bad ending to a good verse.

yeah it means to split your head when you say split your cabbage, but lettuce and olives just dont fit there..

when i was trying to understand it before i thought he was trying to say lettuce and olives like "let us and I'll live", but that just didnt work either ...

just a bad line

not claiming that you should be one

I disagree lol. I think if you think it's a bad ending to the verse then you're missing the point of why he's saying it.

The use of 'lettuce' and 'olives' at the end is to continue the vegtable-related terminology and play off of cliche'. Be unique.

It would of been a bad line if he had just said the cabbage as it would be regular. But with that addition he's being unique. Highlighting the fact he's aware of the cliche' and playing with it.
