I'm going to guess it's somehow referencing a "small bag of coin," probably mentioned in some old colonial, pre-revolution case. This seems to be where they mine most of their whackadoodle.

I'm inferring from what it sort of sounds like, and the fact that he mentioned wanting to use it to pay off other debts.

'Getting your/my/a bag' is also now modern slang for ... bringing in some income for yourself.

Like if you recently got a job, and someone said 'hell yeah, get your bag!', that would be an endearing way of congratulating you on your new income or revenue stream, basically.

I am not entirely sure how the modern etymology works, but it is likely related to older, archaic phrases like 'bag of coin' that you mention... in some way.

I hope it didn't leak out from the SovCitiverse.

No no no, this is more urban/gen z/internet slang.

This is the mostly white, middle aged, suburban/rural, racist, facebook-posting SovCit crowd starting to adopt some of the common lingo of younger, multiracial / ethnically diverse, twitch streamer/tiktok crowd.

Honestly, etymylogically, it reminds me of how my white trash neighbors, when i was a kid, started calling themselves 'wiggers' as rap music began getting more widely popular just generally in the late 90s / 00's.
