I think the beginning of the song is all about the evil temptations in life.
"He held the register open, while he counted her change
I was next in line, which meant I was invisible
From where I stood, I could see that the till was full
He didn’t look the type to play super-hero," -He could have robbed the store blind, but didn't, just observed its possibility.
"A car pulled up – a fixed up Cutlass
A woman and a child climbed out, and left it runnin’
They went inside of the deli," -The gutless he could have stole.
"All of the sudden, I’m in front of some man – no he’s a youngin’
But he’s got a gun in his hand" -And heres when he sees the evil turned on him "until he heared him say..."
Its like a weird story of the devil tempting jesus.
