25 lighters

This is where drug dealers take the cheap, plastic Bic lighters and take them apart. Wash them out and rig them to put crack and coke in them. They would fill them up and sell them individually like you would do in baggies, only when you're holding a lighter it looks less suspicious than holding a bag or vile. They would just pass them off, hand to hand
or someone would ask to borrow a lighter. Hence 25 lighters means someone's got 25 viles to sell, hence the "Got's to get paid" part.
John: Man, that my jam. DJ DMD, Fat Pat and Lil Keke all went hard on "25 lighters". That shit is a dirty south classic!

Xav: Damn right shawty, "25 lighters on my dresser, yes sir, I got to get paid".

Lightism 

Animosity. Resentment, ostracization of black people of a lighter skin hue or mixed heritage. Usually involves the justification and normalization of verbal, physical or mental abuse of black people within said group. Gaslighting and discrediting the lived experiences of them is also lightism. Lightism can only be perpetrated interracially.

ploddle's blue lighters 

a kenning (a compound expression in poetry with metaphorical meaning) for a 'matrix on attack mode'; when ploddle's lighter glitches and clones itself it means the matrix is on attack mode, lighters are probably the glitchiest item in the matrix when it's on attack mode, second only to keys.
Andrew Tate: I'm getting ploddle's blue lighters, the matrix has attacked me
Na'vi: Oel ngati kameie xhittay fglattu (I see you are full of shit)

lightism 

Discrimination against lighter-skinned people of the same ethnic or racial group
Lightism effects people who want to be considered part of the ethnic or racial group (usually marginalized ) that they were born into, however they are encouraged to assimilate to the dominate (usually white) racial identity because of a faire complexation in relation to the majority of others belonging to the same ethnic/racial background.
