- If this song takes away from my spins, then it probly take away from my ins.
ins
noun; clipping
1. Income, money flowing to someone Kanye rapped this in his song “Jesus Walks” to describe how, because he rapped about Christ in his songs, his record would not get played as much, thereby decreasing the amount he would get paid, i.e. his “ins.” The word was probably designed so to rhyme with “spins.”
Etymology : From English income “money or its equivalent received” + s to convey idea that there are many sources of income
Source : Kanye West, “Jesus Walks”
