I have problems understanding these expression

- Mark your territory, keep your cut

- If he doesn’t continue to make his cut to bump up the ladder.

By my knowledge of English, "cut" is something that is done with a scissors or a knife, but in the context it seems something related to money or payments (Shades of Empire-Brothers of Handrich)

Can you help me?
