Greetings!

I'm bad in English.

Rap song
50 cent "Many Men" lyrics
on the left — original lines
on the right — how I understood these lines, looking them up:

(1) I walk the block with the bundles = I walk the block with wads of money
(2) I've been knocked on the humble = ???
(3) Swing the ox when I rumble = I swing the blade when I begin fighting
(4) Show your ass what my gun do = I show you what my gun does

What does (2) mean?
What does "to knock" in (2) mean?
What does "the humble" in (2) mean?

Also:
Why is there "do" instead of "does" in (4)? "Does" wouldn't spoil the rhyme.

Thanks!
 
First of all that's why you don't let suburban white boy's try to transcribe rap lyrics.

the line is "I've been knocked WITH A humble"

And if you understand that bar then......... :js4:
 
Knocked on a humble is a street term for someone who is arrested (knocked) while he wasn’t committing his usual crime/hustle. Example if a drug dealer who sells drugs daily, is stopped on his way to the store and is arrested when he wasn’t actually trying to commit a crime, but a reason is found to arrest him. This is being knocked (arrested) on a humble (when I wasn’t even doing anything).
