This lyric was looped throughout British pop/soul singer Jessie Ware’s “110%” before the sample was denied clearance by Pun’s estate.

The song was subsequently retitled “If You’re Never Gonna Move”.

This is the inverse of Dr. Dre’s classic threat “You know Lucifer? You about to meet him, motherfucker”

Jay also means that church isn’t the only place you could see God, he’ll introduce you by killing you. This also serves as a sort of refutation of Christian belief, wherein you must be an active, sincere Christian to be accepted in the pearly gates of heaven.

It’s also a play of Jay’s nickname, Hova, from “Jehovah,” another name for the Abrahamic God.

Often when somebody is committed to something their whole life, so much so that they’re prepared to die for it —as is the case with MYH with respect to his hustling— they use the term “to death” to describe their drive. The fact that “for death” is used is significant; Lupe is probably indicating that hustlers bring about death, serving as its agents.

This line is a play on the saying “Hustler for life.” Since he is dead, he says “Hustler for death.” It ties back with the chorus because when he’s faced with death, Michael Young doesn’t cry or beg for his life, he simply acknowledges that he is a “hustler for death” and that there is “no heaven for a gangster.” In doing so, he shows he’s not afraid and accepts the fact that he’s been caught slipping.

As stated in “Superstar”, Michael Young History was denied entrance into heaven. For him, there is literally no heaven.

Whether selling it or snorting it, Ross is a master with the yayo.

Ross might also be using some wordplay, meaning cocaine “running (shipping)” is something he grew up with, and that the cocaine is, literally, circulating through his veins.

The biggest vein in the human body is the vena cava

Should the mother feed the unborn child Nas’s lyrical wisdom, Nas will be a foster father to the child (since the bio dad is, implicitly, a deadbeat), fitting since Nasir means “supporter” in Arabic.

Nas also alludes to the Mozart Effect.

Nas also insists that the child knows the unfortunate circumstances in which he was conceived:

“Tell him how he got here/ Mama was just having fun with someone above her years.”

A reference to the 1976 disco single “Disco Inferno” by The Trammps whose chorus includes the words “Burn, baby burn”.

Also a sneak diss to Pac, referencing his track “Old School.”

Pusha hopes that after hearing this story you agree with him.

Pusha check his blocks weekly to keep tabs on the street dealers he employs while focusing on his own health once a year. This shows that he neglects himself and focuses on profit above almost anything.

This might also hint that Pusha has an inflated sense of his own strength; if he’s not being shot at, he thinks he’s fine, failing to think about his blood pressure, cancer, and the like. This is what’s wrong with Pusha.

Also, “Holla If You Hear Me” is a song by 2Pac from his sophomore project, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., thus extending his Pac namedrop from the previous line.
