Nas is such a str he could would ever he wants to even with famous girls thats how bad they want him. Deepthroat him, pee on them, sodomize etc.
Maybe a nod to his man Biggies line:
Either Nas member is so big or he does it so rough that the girls number 2 breaks. Eiter way he was influenced by Hugh Hefner and what he started with the porn. When guys see it they also want to do it. Therefore he created this animal.

These are all diffirent ways of saying he is Jesus/messiah.
Nas has explained that we are all gods children, but this line it confirms that he is Jesus/messiah since jesus is often referred to as son of man.
Garvey was unique in advancing a Pan-African philosophy to inspire a global mass movement and economic empowerment focusing on Africa known as Garveyism. Promoted by the UNIA as a movement of African Redemption, Garveyism would eventually inspire others, ranging from the Nation of Islam to the Rastafari movement (which proclaims Garvey as a prophet).
If he is his son, Nas is the next black leader, some rastas even believe Garvey to be messiah. Nas is Messiahs kid or the return of messiah. Tieing to the next line: Rastafari …
Ties to the first lines: why did you do this to me? I´m you son!

Nas is methodical as it gets when it comes to committing crimes, but his villain side sometimes gets the best of him and makes him go through withdrawals when he isn’t holding a gun.
My cassette is the clip and your radio's the Automatic
So when I'm in your town, duck down
Or take fire, whatever you desire
But I'm on point, you might miss
Never fight this, you'll be sightless when I strike this Nas – I'm a Villain

#Extended Metaphor!
Nas claims his voice has magical qualities that allows his lyrics to cause physical harm. He then compares putting his cassette tape into a radio to loading a gun with bullets, because both are equally deadly. Once the radio is loaded, you have two options – fire back or run away. Nas suggests you run, because his lyrics (“bullets”) are always on point and will leave you blind if they connect.

Angels wear halos, devils wear horns. Since Nas is a villain who went to Hell for snuffing Jesus, it only makes sense that he would choose the devil horns.
