Kendrick plays on “BM” to mean “baby mother” and German car manufacturer BMW . “Mercedes” refers to Mercedes-Benz , another German luxury car manufacturer, and a popular female name derived from the Spanish, “Merced.” He used a similar BMW/BM line on 2010’s “Look Out For Detox” : I’m being myself, my BFF is a BM-dub With your BM in it and your stash box glove This line also draws similarities to Pimp C ’s line on “Big Pimpin'” : If I wasn’t rappin', baby, I would still be ridin' Mercedes
