-Psalm 23:4

Similar to ‘sleep is the cousin of death’ – he’s had people close to him die in the past and realises you can go at any moment.

Also a nod to Coolio’s opening for his first verse on the “Gangstas Paradise”

Dude likes wearing black. J’s are Jordans (shoes). Probably a take on Jay-z’s ‘black cards, black cars’ lyric, which has become somewhat of a lyrical standard.
