Psycho, liable to turn Michael, take your pick, Myers, Myers, Myers, same shit

from Yasiin Bey – Niggas In Poorest Lyrics on Rap Genius

Original Jay-Z line: “Psycho: I’m liable to go Michael, take your pick / Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6”

Instead of listing off some of the great “Michaels” in history like Jay did, Yasiin takes a much more literal approach to the “psycho” line-beginning and makes reference to Michael Myers only: the serial killer from the Halloween movie franchise.

Given that poor areas of the country are the most violent, Yasiin suggests that the stresses of poverty can drive people to violent outbursts.

“Sometimes I think I’m goin' insane
I swear I might hijack a plane!”
