The "sha" samples used at the beginning and end of the song appear to be from the song "Paid in Full" by Erik B & Rakim, though they may also have sampled the same source.

===Sin===
This is the original album version from ''Pretty Hate Machine.'' The loud cry from the end of "[[Kinda I Want To]]" segues into the track as the hisses jump back and forth between the left and right audio channels, stereo panning being a prominent feature of the track. The song itself is very beat driven with much synthesized layering and uses the lyrics as the melody for most of the song, lacking any real "lead" parts. It's also notable for its unique sample of a loud whistling, the origin of which is unknown (though it may be a saxophone recording or sample).
