Here are some explanations for that definition:
a. "Bling" = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bling-bling
“Bling-bling, often shortened to just bling, is a slang term popularized in hip hop culture, referring to flashy, ostentatious, or elaborate jewelry and ornamented accessories that are carried, worn, or installed, such as cell phones or tooth caps. The term was first used in a rap by Dana Dane in "Nightmares" on Dana Dane with Fame in 1987 referring to the sound effect of tinkling bells that was used on cartoon shows to demonstrate the shininess and desirability of gold coins, money, jewelry or gems when they were displayed on-screen. It was later popularized by Cash Money Millionaires in the song "Bling Bling" in 1999”

Got the goods, uptown to Hollywood,

d. swag
From https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/what-does-swag-mean
..."That's a slang word that refers to stylish confidence. It shows up in songs ("Check out my swag, yo / I walk like a ballplayer"—Jay Z) and social media hashtags, but this word derives from swagger"...
****
2. The word "mommy" in Krypto9095 featuring D3Mstreet- "Woah" means "woman" and not the standard definition for "mother".
