Tut:
I'm getting raised from the dead like I was written by Romero
Egyptian lore is all about mummies coming back from the dead. George Romero is a famous director who directed many horror flicks about zombie apocalypses such as Night of the Living Dead.
So I can show this little rebel the Curse of the Pharaoh
Rebel Without a Cause is the most famous movie to star Dean. Curses are associated with King Tut's tomb and Egyptian stories.
Your movie had no cause because it had you in
Rebel WITHOUT A CAUSE....hehehe....but he's calling Dean boring.
But like your Porsche, my raps break the speed limit
Dean died in a car crash driving over the speed limit in a Porsche.
Teenage icon? You've already been forgotten
Teenagers go through fads and then break away.
Your pansy car will get totaled by two-tank-amen
Dean died in a car crash, and Tut is saying that he would total him as "two-tank-amen" is a play on words of Tut's real name: Tutankhamun.
So go run East of Eden or suffer Giant defeat
East of Eden and Giant are the other two famous Dean movies.
You've rotted Jimmy Dean...you're dead fucking meat
Rot as in mummification. Jimmy Dean, James' nickname, is also the name of a meat company that makes sausages, and that James is dead MEAT.
Dean:
Take off your burial mask 'cause your brain can't fit
Tut's burial mask is a popular image, and looks so tight it would probably block brain circulation or some shit.
I wanted to fight bulls until I heard your bullshit
Dean wanted to be a bullfighter at one point.
Man...I'm so cool, but my raps get hotter
Dean looks like a stereotypical "cool guy".
Though my disses will freeze you like your stillborn daughters
Tut had two stillborn daughters. Ouch.
You wear a jar on your head while my hair stays slick
A wooden bust of Tut made it look like he wore a jar on his head.
And my sweet ass awards are worth more than your dick
Dean won quit a few awards for his acting talent. He's saying that they are worth more than Tut's genitals which would be worth a lot as it's a historical artifact.
This is coming from a teen star, so let's make things clear:
Even I can't put up with a kid for nine years
Tut ruled for nine years in Egypt. Dean is saying that even as a teen himself, he's hate to put up with a bratty teen for nine years.
Tut:
Now let's hike the dull desert of your life, dummy
Egypt is desert-y. Tut is calling Dean's life dull and dry like a desert.
You got sexually abused after your mom turned to mummy
Dean claimed to have been sexually abused after his mom died.
My people made a larger army than your fans will ever make
You call yourself a Quaker? Time to make this kid shake
Dean was a Quaker and Quakers believe that they will shake when going to heaven or some shit like that.
Dean:
Well you married your half-sister, but you're half girl yourself
Tut did in fact marry his half sister and Dean is saying that Tut is half girl, playing off half-sister.
Your girly lip-stick face is now on historian's shelves
Look at a bust of Tut. He looks like a girl.
I'll fuck up this guy and I ain't even gay
Dean claimed to not be a homo but was reported to have sexual relations with other men. "Fuck up" as in brutality but played off as a sex joke.
And I'd take a dancing Steve Martin over you any day
