Em isn’t shy about admitting he is a sinner with his drug use , songs about killing people , alleged assault and overall offensive lyrics . He feels that if he even entered a church that he would and burst in a ball of flames, symbolizing God’s wrath for his sins and a trip to hell. This line connects the previous and the next one in reference to Run-D.M.C. ’s Rev Run , who is an ordained Pentecostal minister. Em is pointing out the irony of getting a sinner such as himself to induct Run-DMC. Nevertheless, they share a mutual respect for the other.
