On A Common Misunderstanding of the Lyrics of Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind"

Originally, I heard it as "If Jesus's payin' LeBron, I'm paying Dwayne Wade" and understood it to mean, "If LeBron's got Jesus in his corner, Dwayne's got me...and they're both forces to be reckoned with as a result."

Then I figured he probably was saying "Jeezy" and decided it didn't need understanding.

I like your interpretation.

Any thoughts on the "Catch me in the kitchen like Simmons whippin' pastry"? Is that just he's making dough like Russell Simmons?
