Wikipedia: Crab Rangoon
Crab Rangoon, sometimes called crab puffs,crab rangoon puffs, crab ragoons, cheese wontons, or cream cheese rangoons, are filled crisp dumpling appetizers served primarily in American Chinese restaurants.
 
Preparation
The filling is made with a combination of cream cheese, crab meat or imitation crab meat, scallions or onion, garlic, and other flavorings. A small amount of the filling is wrapped in each wonton wrapper. The dumpling is then shaped by either folding the wrapper over into a triangle, by creating a four-pointed star, by gathering it up into a flower or purse shape, or by twisting it into the traditional wonton shape.

“heavy is the head that wears the crown” is itself a reference to shakespeare to mean “power is a heavy burden,” so “heavy is the crab that ran the goon” can be liberally interpreted as “to intimidate people with hired violence makes someone a total asshole”
