knee-highs

Shorts that only go down to your knee (maybe shorter).
Back in the day, people wouldn't have their shorts down to their ankles like people do now.
Haven't you seen old school ballers from the NBA? Their shorts would be at their knee caps or shorter.

About the example: When Nas first got into the rap game, with the album 'Illmatic' back in 1994, people weren't wearing these huge over-sized shorts that some people do now.

When Nas hit the scene I was still rockin knee-highs - The Game on 200 Bars and Runnin

flip

If you flip something you make a profit out of it.

Let's say you bought a 5-stick pack of gum for 25 cents and you sell every stick for 10 cents (giving you 50 cents) you just flipped the pack of gum.

I heard there was a show where people flip houses.
They buy some houses, fix them up then sell them for more than they paid.

So I guess you could flip anything, but when I hear someone say they flipped something I'm usually thinking about narcotics.
In the example, "pound" is probably a pound of chronic, cocaine, etc..

Should I shoot out of town and flip this pound? - Mack 10

peck

To peck is to eat.......

I first came across this word in this context when reading the autobiography of Malcolm X. He said that when he was younger (probably around the 1940s or 50s) he used slang such as "peck".

Slang: I'm going to go peck a little
Translation: I'm going to eat

cool on you

Donell Jones has a song called "Cool On You"
"Cool On You" means that he passes on the girl that cheated on him if she were to try to get back together.

You've heard people respond with "nah, I'm cool" before right?
For example if someone asked "wanna jump off a bridge? want some of this jalapeno? want me to try to hook you up with that fat girl?" some people would answer "nah, I'm cool" or simply "I'm cool"
which is another way of saying "I'll pass"

"want to go smoke some bud?"
"nah, I'm cool on that"

so if a girl ever asks you something like "do you like me? do you want me?" etc
if youre not feeling her you can say "I'm cool on you"

back to the song..donell jones is just saying that he doesn't even like that female anymore..he'll pass on her "i'm cool on you"
