This sample, used throughout the song, is taken from Stutter by Joe. The rest of the line is “…that I caught you”, but if you listen to the original, you can hear that a second vocal line comes in before the word “caught” completes, so Cardec had to cut it off early and loop it.

Of course, the line’s use in Stutter was an interpolation of a line from Passin' Me By by The Pharcyde

Rough translation:

This fire, I feel it in the bones

This is a reference to Jeremiah 20:9.

..his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones..

This line was lifted from the Beastie Boys classic Brass Monkey.

But there’s a flaw in this logic, since an advance needs to be paid back to the record company.
