We roll tight whips everyday but why don't we just drive fancy cars instead?

Trick Daddy mentions his brand new Fo' Do' Volvo, so yes, you qualify

The Whips were an experimental horse band with a supervillain persona (whips the ultimate symbol of everything wrong with man's relationship w/horses) - "cars" were a natural slide-over in meaning, driving a car was like just a bigger version of whipping a horse, taunting it to go faster, keeping it in its place - then some rapper used it
