Holler back every day 'cause it's a game that tests my patience
[Chorus]

The grass is green and the buffalos roam

And your auntie Jim and your cousin Jim
Come home Jimmy 'cause you need a bath

And your auntie Jim and your cousin Jim

This is slang and can have more than one meaning. In this line “holler back everyday” most likely means that he’s letting everyone know that he hears them. He’s making his presence known. Basically, he’s showing that he’s someone to pay attention to. That’s how I see it. Rap lyrics can be extremely confusing and sometimes have double/triple meanings. Hope this is helpful.

What @TracYolivia says can be true, but it does not apply in this case because those definitions wouldn’t make sense in that context.
