Clever wordplay over here.
Lick her/liquor Or-gin/organ

Joey is about to eat this bitch out but also get some booze in his system, liquor goes straight to your organs, specifically the liver as mentioned in the line above.

I also think this is deeper word-play. “I like to lick her, to kill her or-gin” / “I like to liquor… Tequila or gin.” Also note that Tel-i-qua (to lick her) would be a way of scrambling the syllables in the word te-qui-la as well.

“Don’t fake the funk on a nasty dunk” is a reference to to a commercial for the Shaq Attaq shoes.

It’s already hard enough to go through security at the airports, with metal detectors/pat downs etc. Kanye now humbly brags that it’ll be much more difficult because he has a metal plate in his mouth in addition to all his chains and jewelry.

Kanye also may be suggesting it’s hard for him to go through airport security because he is black. This would later be addressed on the 2010 track “Gorgeous”:

And at the airport they check all through my bags and tell me that it’s random

Kanye ran into this problem in the video for his single, “All Falls Down.”

In theory, you probably can NEVER imagine killing someone, But if you were actually placed in a situation, you might think otherwise.

Enslaving ourselves is a reference to mental slavery, an internalized low self-image that some black people have as a result of negative images of themselves in the mainstream media. Television, movies and magazines are some of the worst offenders.

We’ve come a long way since the days of Amos ‘n’ Andy and Stepin Fetchit but mental slavery is still in effect. The famous 1940s experiment in which African American children favored white dolls over black dolls was recreated in 2006 with identical results. And Chris Rock’s 2009 film Good Hair exposed deep-rooted issues in the black community about self-image.
