We all got imperfections, we all have family members in trouble with the law.

“Notches on the belt” is a way to refer to the women you’ve slept with

Becoming saved, or smashin' some chick, doesn’t make you better than anyone else

1. All the guys who already dated her brag about it, makin' me feel inadequate for chasin' her

2. Religious people sometimes brag about their connection to God, and make people who aren’t “saved” feel inadequate

Not a favorable impression, after seeing how much she/the members of the church gossip

1. Pulled up to the church from around the corner, scoping it out. People come out, wearing nice clothes, gossiping about each other, mostly the fat Black women.

2. Pulled up to her high school, watchin' as she and her friends gossip

1. Got the address of a reputable church
2. Got the girl’s phone number

1. Hotel lobby, waitin' for this girl to come out
2. Church lobby, deciding whether or not to enter

1. Our relationship has been rough
2. My life has been rough, hope the lord forgives me

1. Since 13, I had a deep need to connect to a religion, and couldn’t. “Taste that body” refers to communion, where members of the church eat tasteless bread and drink wine.

2. This is also a reference to a hypothetical girl I’m pursuing in the song.

I’ve wanted to put a quote by Malcolm X into a song for as long as I can remember, plus I started rappin'/spoken word at 13
