I think the first verse is a metaphor to the ghetto as the robot. A sick, sickkkkk, metaphor. Maybe the Robot could represent something more, like his fame?
"Scared of heights, so I might pass out if he flies
Keep 'em on autopilot cause I can't drive
Room enough for one, I tell my homies they can't ride
Unless they sittin' on the shoulders but that�s way too high
Let's try, not to step on the children,
The news camera's filmin', this walkin', project building"
The first line, is his rejection of fame. He doesn't want the fame, he just wants to send out his message. I think the second line just reaffirms that. The third line shows how the loss of friends comes with fame. The 5th line could mean "don't spit gangster lyrics that the kids are going to learn from and copy and ruin their lives", like stepping on them. And news cameras filming, obviously means fame.
