"Those that don't got it can't show it. Those that got it can't hide it."
-This means that anyone doesn't have anything, can't show anything. This can imply to anything in life such, it can be physical or spiritual whatever the case this can imply to it. For example, if someone has a lot of money and power, they can show it by the car they drive and the way they dress and act. Power corrupts people so they are bound to show off their wealth. While on the other hand, people who do not have a lot of money can't hide the fact that they are poor because they might always have torn clothes or are always starving. Whatever the case, she is right.
