The character of this song is presumably, from deduction, about the Asian guy in the bottom right corner. About the song itself, Dave explains:

[Intro]
Smells good up here. Yeah, it’s the candle, yo it’s uh… yo it’s uh… Sausage... (Laughter) Sausage candle... Most people don’t do it the way I do it, very personal... So, like, even the money: twenties, twenties, twenties... Y'know, like whatever... I just like sausage-
[Verse 1]
I don't ever wanna pick a slice
One is pretty but the other lies
Chewing on a fat smoke
No filter but you're puffing
Sucking on a slim Vogue
Dark fingernail polish
[Verse 2]
I'm the treasure, baby, I'm the prize
Cut me rails of that fresh cherry pie
Shitty old pistola
Shot a bullet through my wallet
Gonna go to Pensacola
Gonna fuck my way through college
[Chorus]
You've gone with the thick rims
Big look with the lip ring and things
Wake me when the bell rings
I'm gonna sleep 'cause you live in my daydreams
You've gone with the thick rims
Big look with the lip ring and things
Wake me when the bell rings
I'm gonna sleep 'cause you live in my daydreams
[Verse 3]
Sitting pretty in the prime of life
I'm so tasty and the price is right
Stewing in the black dope
I'm filthy and I love it
Studebaker all gold
Got a shotgun in my pocket
[Chorus]
You've gone with the thick rims
Big look with the lip ring and things
Wake me when the bell rings
I'm gonna sleep 'cause you live in my daydreams

This track is about someone with a lot of lust. It’s as sleazy as I’ll ever get in lyrics. But everyone has that inside them somewhere, even if it’s only a tiny bit. And it comes out from time to time. For some people, it’s out all the time.
