@[MarshalStack:8886] "At first glance I assumed lightly that it was a white boy more or less critiquing from afar obscure pimp hooker dynamics in an urban blight ridden city" - I think that's exactly what it is. A 3rd person commentary on a pimp and his hooker ("put your business in the street, talking out loud") "Got to have a Jones for this Jones for that This running with the Jones boy Just ain't where it's at" - Heroin, drug addiction. Jonesing was a slang term for the craving for IV drugs, especially back in the 70's. Boz is the 3rd person commentator, and he says that they are blinded by their fast money into thinking they got it made. Cars in paid cash, clothes, jewelery, presents, but even the pimp who things he's on top can never escape the TRUTH behind the denial and rationalization that what they are doing with their lives is just headed for something very negative. |
