This isn’t the first time that Kanye has played pastor for his listeners. If you want to follow the Book of G.O.O.D., just sit down and listen to Reverend Kanye preach, and you will learn his ways

There’s a common superstition that bad news/disasters/deaths come in sets of three. Pusha wants to test that theory by lining up YMCMB, puttin' the A to the K, sprayin' that, and layin' back

The film Encino Man gave birth to this classic insult:
I wouldn’t piss in your mouth if your gums were on fire.
Grand Marnier is a high-end, French liqueur made from a blend of cognacs and the essence of bitter oranges – specifically, Pusha might be referring to the Grand Marnier Quintessence liqueur of which only 2000 bottles were made, each retailing at $800.

Kanye has never been shy to flaunt, especially when it comes to a Lamborghini Murcielago. He showed his appreciation for the car on “Dark Fantasy” and later on the Cruel Summer album with “Mercy”.
On the other hand, Kanye is also a fan of Maybachs and Aventadors:
It took 6 months to get the Maybach all matted out
And my assistant crashed it soon as they backed it out
