Lyric discussion by Darkdrummer1 

i think ive figured it out, This song is about someone from the slums in a bad family who joins a gang because he has nothing to lose, for example I got a 9 (a gun) a sign (gang symbol). Read my writing on the wall (graffiti) and the last part about if we dont take action now is that we have to fix that problem about gangs and kids who join them

I don't mean to be mean but you haven't figured it out at all. If you knew anithing about RATM it would be obvious what the song is about, the song is much deeper than that. The problema for is the government and society itself. The song is all about what opening your eyes, and make you angry witch you should already be. And after that "take action", and "take action" doesn't mean to solve any gang problem, it means "take action!" fight the power!
