Come on meat, show me that million dollar arm of yours cause I got a good idea about that five cent head.

What it means

Our interpretation.

A taunt full of trash talk. The speaker calls the target 'meat' with a valuable arm, then undercuts the flattery by saying the head is worth only five cents. It's a blunt jab that praises raw talent while mocking the judgment behind it.
