The exact lyrics is "Ya im out that Brooklyn, now I'm down in Tribeca" which mean that he is no longer living in brooklyn, which is a kind of poor city, and that he is now living in Tribeca which is a rich city

The word is "Monte" not "marley". Three Dice cee lo refers to a dice game played with 3 six-sided dice (rules vary amongst players of the game). Three card monte is gambling game where bets are made and only 3 cards are used.

cee-lo is an old school nyc dice game: you roll three dice, and your score is the odd number, e.g., if you roll 1-1-6, your score is 6. if you roll 4-5-6, you have cee-lo and automatically win.

"Dominicanos" is plural for Dominicans, people from the Dominican Republic. Broadway is a major street that bisects Manhattan and runs straight through Washington Heights, a Dominican neighborhood. Probably had some deal at a McDonald's in the area.
