'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.
