This is giving you a start off reason to why he’s annoyed.

Ab-Soul is implying the reason why hes stressed is due to him losing faith in a religous God. But due to that hes also blessed because instead of waiting on God to make things happen he went out and started planning and taking action for the things he wanted to achieve.

Its also sort of a contradiction cause you would think once you'er blessed you’re at one with yourself and God and therefore less stressed but Ab’s pointing out thats not necessarily the case.

A metaphor for rap, because it is usually not straight forward – it leaves the listener to figure out every song in its entirety.

This ties into Free Masonry because the masons are known to write books in hieroglyphic like language so only they can read it until someone else figures it out.

This is also a reference to the esoteric nature of lyrics written by enlightened rappers. Francis Bacon was one of the first to use this form of writing: ‘hidden in plain sight’.

Heartbreak Hotel: a phrase that is interpolated here to mean that women get their hopes up only to find out that they will be dumped fairly quickly.

He symbolizes it as the “A-Rod suite”, as the phrase “heartbreak hotel” coincides well with A-Rod’s “romantic relationship” arena:

(He’s no longer with Cameron Diaz anymore, either… and this fails to mention the women that he was “secretly” with during this time span.)

*On top of that, the A-Rod suite itself could also mean that the suite is top-dollar since he is being paid a LOT of money to play baseball

Jay, keeping with his nickname Jayhova (a riff on God’s name Jehovah), breathed life into hip hop much as God breathed life into Adam.

Tuco Salamanca is a character in the popular TV drama Breaking Bad, so it’s a play on the title “Breaking Bad”, saying that Webby is the baddest in the game right now.

Another reference to Bad Guy, Webby? Two in one song! You sure do love that little piece of work, huh?

Eminem’s trouble’s with the law have generally stemmed from a desire to ‘keep it real’; to take on any challenger, aggressively and physically. He has made no apologies for his violent nature.

He was sentenced to 2 years of probation for an incident where he waved an unloaded pistol at a member of ICP’s management team. He was also given probation for an incident with John Guerra in June in 2000, in which Guerra alleged he was ‘pistol whipped’ by Marshall.

Eminem has addressed both these issues on The Eminem Show, in “Hailie’s Song” and “Sing For The Moment”.

From The Way I Am:

“… whenever somebody fucks with me, I get violent. And if I’m drunk and someone fucks with me, it’s even worse.”
