The girl who’s hot enough for you to marry isn’t even special to him. He gets girls like this on a regular basis.
Always on his Hoodie shit:
So I swoop in and tell her, if her parents don't approve of me
That don't change a goddamn thing, girl, I don't buy no jewelry

The first single from Hoodie Allen’s album People Keep Talking.
The video is a play on the film, Happy Gilmore with Hoodie as Happy and D-Why as Shooter McGavin. Makes sense seeing as he has a song of he same name over Gambino’s “Freaks and Geeks”.
Hoodie even got Tommy Lee to play his caddy. Now that’s just awesome.

I used XV as my muse, junior year in College. Being the gamer that XV is, I felt this was appropriate. I just mashed them up, while trying to make some sense.
I tried to somewhat mimic the form of the poem.

“Judas” is Judas Iscariot. According to the New Testament, he is one of the twelve original apostles of Jesus Christ, and the son of Simon Iscariot. Also it’s a build off the jungle line. He’s showing the listener the different walks of life in his city (which he considers to be a jungle).
Also a play on the name of Gangster Disciples, an actual gang that started in Chicago and is in the top four for most violent gangs.

The contrast between gloom and glittering shows the breadth of the human mind as well as that of the universe.
In an interesting comment one contributor asks ‘Is it just contrast? The word “reflecting” may explain that there are actually similarites between light and dark. May assert that you need balance or that everything is a part of the whole.
There is a little bit of light in darkness and a little bit of darkness and light. Gloom is also partial darkness.
This may be born out by the rhythmic structure of the line, a triplet of repeated ‘now’s,and alliterative 'gl’s, providing a satisfying balance.
